Waitlist open · Beta in January 2027

Know your real cost before you send the quote.

NNC Budget adds up crew, gear, AI generation, taxes and fees, then warns you when the price you're about to send is below cost. A desktop app that works offline.

One job for a TV station ended 450,000 dinars in the red. My quote was below cost, and I only saw it when the job was done.
Petar, founder of NNC Vision. That job is why NNC Budget exists.

A spreadsheet adds up whatever you type. It doesn't ask what you forgot, and it doesn't tell you the total is below cost.

From a two-line brief to a signed job

  1. 1/5 Brief

    The client sends two sentences.

    Pick a template for your line of work or clone the last job that looked like this one.

  2. 2/5 Line items

    Rates come from your own price list.

    Crew, gear and AI generation. Days follow the schedule until you type a number yourself.

  3. 3/5 Taxes and fees

    Contracts, VAT and fees are calculated for you.

    Insurance, contingency and a production fee charged only on the sections you choose.

  4. 4/5 Quote

    A PDF in the client's language. v1, v2, v3.

    Before it goes out, a checklist asks what you might have missed.

  5. 5/5 Accepted

    The client clicks “Accept” on a link.

    The job gets a code, the contract fills itself in, and the client never sees your costs or margin.

Try it: is your price above cost?

A simplified example. The app uses your own price list, region and tax status.

Questions

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Projects live on your computer and everything is calculated locally. When you're online, changes sync to your other devices and your team.

Windows or Mac?

Both, from the first beta. The phone app comes with version 1.0 in March 2027.

Who sees my rates and margins?

Only you and your team. The client link shows the client's version of the quote, without costs, rates or margin. To build better default rates, the app shares anonymous day rates (role, city, rate, month), never names, clients or totals. Ranges appear only after at least 10 budgets from 5 different companies.

Can I bring my Excel price list?

Yes. You import it and match the columns once. Export to Excel and AICP Excel is there too, because accountants and clients still want it.

Why no AI in the beta?

The math has to be right first. In 1.0 the AI only counts things from the brief (days, people, shots), and your price list does the money.

What happens after the beta?

The beta stays free until 14 days after 1.0. Then you keep working at the founder price you locked on the waitlist.

How do I get off the list?

Every e-mail has a one-click unsubscribe link. We write when there's something to say: beta access, launch, and the odd progress note.

Your next quote shouldn't cost you money.
