Features FAQ
What makes BuildFolio different from Jobber or ServiceTitan?
BuildFolio focuses on profit intelligence—knowing your real margins on every job, not just revenue. Unlike Jobber or ServiceTitan, we include AI quoting (Photo-to-Quote, Voice-to-Quote) and profit tracking in the $39/mo Pro plan with no per-user fees or enterprise pricing.
How does AI Photo-to-Quote work?
Upload photos of the job site and add a short description. Our AI analyzes the images and generates a draft quote with line items, quantities, and pricing based on your price book. You review, adjust, and send—typically in under 5 minutes instead of hours.
What is Profit Intelligence?
Profit Intelligence tracks your actual costs against estimates in real-time. See your true margin on every job—not just what you quoted, but what you actually made after materials, labor, and overhead. Stop guessing if you’re profitable.
