Every plan: from an address to a signed estimate
Roofers type the job address, and we measure the roof from aerial imagery and price it from your own price list. Other trades start from their trade’s template. Review every line, send it, and your customer picks options and signs on their phone. Check the measurements on site before your final bid.

Pricing FAQs
Is the Free tier really free forever?
Yes, and no credit card is required. Send 3 estimates a month, use 5 AI estimates a month (including roof measurement by address), and use invoicing and job tracking at no cost. We make money when you upgrade to Pro for unlimited estimates and card payments online.
What happens after my 14-day Pro trial?
The Pro trial you start from this page needs a card. After 14 days that card is charged $39/mo plus any sales tax, unless you cancel before then. If you would rather not enter a card, start on the Free plan: when you send your first estimate, we offer a 14-day Pro trial with no card, and when that trial ends your account returns to Free with all your data.
Are there any per-user fees?
No. $39/mo covers your entire team. Jobber charges $49-299/mo per user. ServiceTitan charges $500+/mo. We believe contractors shouldn’t pay extra for team members.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes—cancel from your dashboard in one click. No phone calls, no retention scripts. You keep your data if you downgrade to Free.
What payment methods do you accept?
Credit/debit cards via Stripe Billing. We also accept ACH for annual plans. Sales tax may apply based on your location.
Do you offer annual billing?
Yes—pay annually for $390/year (2 months free). Contact us for annual billing options.
