UI/UX auditors send a quote after an initial call or a quick look at the product, before any testing starts. Clients often compare several auditors or agencies, so they look at scope, deliverables, timeline, and whether the price is a fixed fee. A clear estimate also sets expectations about what the audit will and will not cover.
When to use estimates: Use estimates to provide project quotes and get client approval before starting work. Once approved, convert your estimate to an invoice with one click to collect payment.

The size of the audit drives the price. Naming exact flows and devices prevents arguments over what counts as in scope.
Heuristic review, analytics analysis, accessibility testing, and usability sessions take very different amounts of time. State which are included.
If the audit is against WCAG 2.2 AA or a specific heuristic set, say so, since clients sometimes assume legal compliance is guaranteed.
Delays often come from missing logins, analytics access, or staging environments. List what you need and when.
Specify whether the output is a PDF report, a spreadsheet of issues, annotated Figma files, or a recorded walkthrough, and how many revision rounds are included.
Give start date, delivery date, and how client delays affect the schedule.
State that redesign work, development fixes, and legal compliance advice are not included unless quoted separately.

A quick heuristic review, a full audit, and an audit with usability testing give clients a way to choose by budget. Most pick the middle option when the options are clearly laid out.
Estimate hours for each method and add a buffer for revisions and client communication. Present it as a flat fee so the buffer does not look like padding.
Recruiting and incentives vary by audience. B2B participants can cost much more than general consumers, so list those costs as an estimate based on participant count.
Audit pricing depends on your availability. A 14 to 30 day validity window avoids being held to an old price.
A short walkthrough or a few observations during the sales call is fine. A full free review gives away the work, so keep it brief and use it to explain what the paid audit would cover in depth.
Include a line in the quote saying added screens, platforms, or methods will be quoted as a change order. Get written approval before doing the extra work.
Detailed enough to list the flows, methods, deliverables, and timeline, but you do not need an hour-by-hour breakdown for a flat-fee audit. Itemize research costs and optional add-ons.
It is a good idea. A short agreement that includes the accepted quote, payment schedule, ownership of the report, and confidentiality terms protects both sides, especially when you receive access to client analytics.
