For example: for building a deck, a called for 2 x 4 blocking and 2x6 rim joist. The nominal depth of each of those should match the floor joist nominal depth.. it also called for 2 x 6 to make staircase stringers. It also overestimated the floor joist by about 25% and linked me to a Lowe’s pricing of $1.50 a linear foot. Then when I checked Lowe’s, it’s closer to $2.67 a linear foot. Those are the first mistakes that jumped out at me right away, so I’m sure there would be more if I decide to spend more time on it. I only gave a two star because if you do your homework and you have a lot of patience, you can update all the right numbers in the system. So it’s like a good template, but need you to give it a lot of input. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-01-20, version 2.17.0* Doesn’t get any easier than this ### 5/5 — AI *2026-01-03, version 2.16.9* Love this platform, although I only have a limited need for it as a part time Industry Expert for Calif. Contractors License Board, it does what I need quickly, accurately and with the ease of modern AI natural language prompts. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2025-12-12* Handoff construction estimator has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business. I really struggled with getting this estimates done and sent out on time, and this app has really cut my estimating time by about 70%. It lets me get the estimate to customers faster and makes everything very clear. The scope expectations, approvals and signatures are all straightforward. The app itself is phenomenal but what really sets handoff apart is the support team. Sophia and her team have been incredible. I’m not sure if she’s officially assigned to me, but she’s the person I work with every time, and she’s hands-down the most helpful support person I’ve ever dealt with. Honestly, without the level of support you provide, the app would be good, but with this team, it’s exceptional. Keep doing what you’re doing the Support makes all the difference Sophia you’re the best. ### 5/5 — Very amazing app!! *2025-12-08, version 2.16.7* I have been soo very happy with this app, and the fact that the owner/creator of this app has shown nothing but respect and care for the people who are using their app. Anyways, my husband and I work on home remodeling, and this app has been perfect for creating estimates and projects. Perfect organization of your jobs and estimate. The AI is perfect for creating your estimates, and proposals! Many different tools and options. I definitely recommend for any one who’s self employed and in the construction business, or businesses. You won’t regret it! Thank you! To the Handoff business!! ### 5/5 — Owner *2025-11-26, version 2.16.6* Excelent software to estimate anything with no problem, love it. ### 4/5 — Would I recommend? *2025-11-20* It’s a working progress sometimes it works like a charm and other times I encounter it having some difficult difficulties. I am getting used to it as it is getting used to me. I am a little more technically verse than most, but what I can say with certainty is that their team is constantly working on it to make it better. Nothing is full proof but I believe that if they continue on their past, they will have an incredible product ### 5/5 — LPS CONSTRUCTION AND LANDSCAPE *2025-10-27* As a new startup, I was looking for the perfect fit to accomplish the administrative and financial tasks required to present a professional product estimate. I researched several options and, for my needs and finances Handoff is my choice. Really thorough tutorials and support makes navigating the platform exciting to use. I could not be more pleased with this product and would suggest that you take a closer look. Sincerely, Jeffery Johnson ### 5/5 — Great tool! *2025-10-23, version 2.15.7* Easy to use and saves me so much time estimating. Their support team always helps quickly if I do run into any issues. No brainer for my business. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-10-22, version 2.15.7* Thank you for making life much easier . This is a great app and their customer service is very friendly and quick to respond ### 5/5 — Best app I found! *2025-10-18, version 2.15.7* Fast and easy! Saves ALOT of time when doing estimates! ### 5/5 — User for about 8 months so far *2025-10-16* This is probably the best thing since sliced bread! I did the trial to start and told my self if I got a quote approved for the first job I would do the starter subscription and I did! Then used that for a few months and recently decided I wanted to upgrade to the full subscription, for one it would make life easier and 2 it has increased my income enough to pay for itself 7 times fold. If you’re undecided I would say go for it, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made! ### 5/5 — Amazing app! Except the subscription packages… *2025-09-18* It’s an amazing app very helpful I just wish the proposal was under the starter subscription as someone who’s just starting out it’s more in my ally. And I think it would help others grow and eventually get the pro subscription! Other than that super helpful app it’s amazingly smooth and easy to operate ### 5/5 — Reccomend *2025-09-02, version 2.14.14* I highly recommend this for all companies ### 5/5 — Good app for estimating *2025-08-30, version 2.14.13* It’s really nice and you can integrate to quickbooks, only couple gaps, waiting one update to get it ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-08-29, version 2.14.12* This handoff it’s a great app for general contractor to provide comprehensive bids. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad program *2026-05-19, version 2.17.14* To expensive and bad system, not recommended ### 1/5 — Harassment at its worst *2025-12-18* I entered my business’s phone number onto this registration, and they would not leave me the heck alone. That number is dedicated purely to customers and so I answer it on a consistent basis. I’ll be honest one of the worst sales tactics I’ve ever seen. I’m a busy man. I do not have time to sit here and chat!!!!!. Not to mention their estimation software is so far off I would’ve lost $10,000 in 1 job alone!!. Terrible software I gave it a simple task to generate an estimate for a general contracted 1500 ft.² house. And tested it on previously done projects because I know the entirety of the scope I’m able to tell it exactly how much work it actually is and so I told it that and it was off by approximately 25% low!!!! they say AI is the future of our industry, but clearly they don’t have any idea how to program true national averages ### 1/5 — No Refund *2025-09-08, version 2.15.0* I had canceled my prescription the second month with them and they charged me the third month. They charged me again. Saying they can't give me a refund. Do not trust this app not good. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-08-29, version 2.14.12* App has potential but my second estimate the app just shut off. The team should cancel all the subscription and make the app better first. Got potential but zero power. Dont spend money in this app yet. I hate to say that but thats reality. Again: huge potential if the team fix thismajor issue. You are not supposed to stop work in the middle of an estimate and dont save all the pics and details. Unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money *2025-08-22, version 2.14.10* ChatGPT 5.0 does a better job and is $20.00 per month! You can use ChatGPT for other things as well ### 1/5 — Meh *2025-05-25, version 2.11.9* It won’t let me login. It won’t let me create account. It won’t let me do anything. It says I have an unknown character in my phone number ???? What does that mean what I’m using 10 digits and all of them are numbers don’t it’s very annoying. ### 1/5 — A scam *2025-05-08, version 2.11.2* Just charged my card again. I told julian to cancel my account right after i opened it. Told him nicely that it dudnt work for me. They keep charging my card 2024/12/31 Tired of receiving span messages from these people. I send message back asking them to stop doing that but, just received 5 more messages. Its a headache! Please remove me from your data bases. Stop stop stop. 2025/05/07 I still got all my messages with Julian about all this thing. It happened a year ago and now you are trying to make it look it was my fault. please. Anyways, thank you for not calling or sending spam after my review of 2024/12/31 but, I will keep this review posted here. As what happened, happened and is good for other people to know about it ### 1/5 — So buggy it’s unusable *2025-03-07, version 2.9.0* I spent $150 per month on this subscription and it literally wouldn’t work at all. Immediately requested refund from Apple. Good idea in theory but the execution is not there ### 1/5 — A scam *2024-12-31, version 2.8.6* Just charged my card again. I told julian to cancel my account right after i opened it. Told him nicely that it dudnt work for me. They keep charging my card 2024/12/31 Tired of receiving span messages from these people. I send message back asking them to stop doing that but, just received 5 more messages. Its a headache! Please remove me from your data bases. Stop stop stop ### 1/5 — App just in a loop *2024-11-19, version 2.7.4* Can’t even login as it keeps going in to a loop, phone coses dont work.. too buggy ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great experience *2026-08-06, version 2.19.3* Usually apps are disappointing. They only do half of what they say. They glitch. I have had a great experience with Handoff. It is learning how we do business. It creates documents and forms on the fly. It serves as a CRM, estimator and great office tool. Customers and staff alike complement the professional forms we send out. ### 5/5 — Your Complete Office Worker *2026-07-19, version 2.18.8* The app has saved hours and hours of sitting at a desk doing estimates. Yes, you will need to fine tune the app to our liking and location. But, once that is done, sit back and see how many more project you get. ### 5/5 — Try it *2026-06-26* Handoff is a great help in keeping my mind on the projects. I don’t get bogged down in a sea of estimates that people are waiting on. I tell Handoff what I need, and it makes adjustments. It handles typing, gathering, sorting, and editing, freeing me to think more clearly and ensure I'm catching everything, all while meeting the necessary margins to be successful. The client portalmis a great help and the features being added are growing this platform very quickly. If you haven't tried AI estimating then Handoff is worth investing some time into. The team is very helpful and quick to respond. ### 5/5 — Must have *2026-06-16, version 2.18.4* If run a home improvement business it’s well worth the money to take working estimates off your plate. Handoff has an incredible support staff. The solutions are very fast to any problem you might come across. They are constantly improving the already awesome app as well. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Peralta painting and remodeling *2026-05-27, version 2.18.0* This is a great tool to speed up my estimating ### 5/5 — Awesome service and product *2026-04-15* I started using this program this AI program for my residential non-insurance work. I have found it amazing and. helpful tool to use. The AI is responsive. And understands Construction it helps me every single day with all the upgrades and changes they are planning I believe this will be my go to for years to come. All of the staff have been helpful with all with the same goal in mind to make this a great product for customers. ### 5/5 — Spot on *2026-03-25, version 2.17.5* So far the pricing has been spot on for me. It’s made quoting and ordering much easier. ### 5/5 — Applications *2026-03-06, version 2.17.5* Very Nice A.I capabilities ### 5/5 — Best estimating tool out there *2026-02-11, version 2.17.3* This tool is game changer made such a big difference to my business super hands-on. We don’t have to hire expensive estimators anymore if you’re a small business. I absolutely love it and it’s really accurate. ### 5/5 — Amazing Tool! *2026-01-21* I used to spend hours writing estimates when I worked for another company and now I’ve started my own and I started looking into AI tools and I downloaded a Handoff. I know this review is gonna sound completely like an infomercial, but it is actually fun to write estimates now. I just linked Handoff with QuickBooks and I set it up so I can send invoices directly to my clients and it’s been an amazing way to invoice. I now mark myself as being able to provide estimate estimates within 24 hours of looking at jobs. It’s also helped make me thousands of dollars already from the items I would’ve overlooked over the past couple months. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
