Quotebefore

Features

The estimate is ready before you leave the driveway. Talk through the job on site, in your own words. Quotebefore turns it into line items with quantity and unit, suggests prices from your own past estimates and produces a PDF estimate on your letterhead. No typing on the jobsite, and no bids to write up at the kitchen table at night. HOW IT WORKS 1. Speak: describe the work the way you would tell your crew. 2. Check: the job becomes clear line items. Description, quantity, unit. 3. Send: your estimate comes out as a PDF on your letterhead, ready for the customer. YOUR PRICES, NOT OURS Quotebefore remembers what you charge and suggests prices from your previous estimates. Say a price while you talk and it is used. There is no price list from us and no average from other contractors. FOLLOW-UP WITHOUT HAVING TO REMEMBER After you send an estimate, Quotebefore reminds you on the third, fourth and fifth business day, each time with the follow-up message already written. Three times, then it stops. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER No account, no password, no sign-in. You enter your business details once. Speech recognition and line item recognition run on the iPhone. Your estimates, customer info and prices stay on your phone. PRICING Your first three complete estimates are free, with no time limit and no watermark. Estimates count, not days. After that, Quotebefore is a subscription through the App Store. It renews automatically and you can cancel anytime in your iPhone settings. WHO IT IS FOR Contractors and small crews who bid jobs on site: plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, painters, remodelers, handymen, tile setters, roofers and general contractors. iPhone only.
