## What is BidCoat?

Bid the job before you leave the driveway. Scan the room, price it at your own rates, and send a proposal your client signs on their phone. The deposit goes straight to you.

SCAN, OR TYPE IT IN
Walk the room with your iPhone Pro and BidCoat measures the walls, ceiling, trim, doors and windows. Room scanning needs an iPhone or iPad Pro with LiDAR; on any other iPhone or iPad, type the measurements in.

PRICED AT YOUR RATES, EVERY NUMBER SHOWN
Set your labor rate, production rates and paints once. BidCoat works out paint, hours, materials, overhead and profit with fixed formulas you can check on a calculator, gives a likely price range, and shows each option's profit, flagging a price that loses money.

PROPOSALS THAT WIN JOBS
Offer Standard, Premium and Top grade, with Premium recommended. Add colors, photos and your logo. Send it as a link and a PDF, in English, Spanish or Portuguese: whichever your client reads, whatever language you work in.

SIGNED AND PAID
Your client opens the link, picks an option and e-signs, with a full record of who signed what, and when. Then they pay the deposit straight to your Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, Zelle, or your own Square or Stripe link. BidCoat never takes a cut of your deposits. You get a notification when they open it, sign and say they've paid.

BUILT FOR THE JOB SITE
- Works with no signal. Proposals go out when you're back online.
- State rules built in: deposit limits, the right to cancel and the notices your state requires, for 15 states and New York City.
- Automatic reminders to clients who haven't signed, from your business name.
- In English, Spanish and Portuguese.

YOUR PRICE NEVER GOES UP
BidCoat Pro is $299.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or $39.99 a month. Your price never goes up while you stay subscribed. Try a sample job before you subscribe.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period; cancel any time in Settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2026-10-18

Sending a proposal now offers a link first: sign in once, and your client chooses an option, signs and pays the deposit from their phone, and you're told when they open it. You can still send the PDF only.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-09

Fixes: an extra's name no longer jumps back while you type; a job made only of extras says "Not checked" when there's no cost to check; a price with no range shows just the price; number boxes start empty; when all your options cost the same, BidCoat offers to keep one; and the payment terms read well even before you add your business name.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-08

Extras: add your own line items to a room or the whole job, like a drywall patch, wallpaper removal, cabinet doors or a few hours of repairs. Price them each, by the square foot or foot, as one amount, or in hours. They show on the proposal and in the math. Job backup: when you're signed in, your jobs are backed up to your account, so a new phone gets them back in one tap.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-07

A quick setup the first time you open BidCoat: your business name, where you work, and your labor rate, overhead and profit, so your first estimate uses your own numbers. It also tells you whether your iPhone can scan rooms.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-07
