Engineering Site Tool for Immediate Metrics Across Terrains and Environments – Horizontal Construction (ESTIMATE - HC) ESTIMATE - HC is a mobile calculation tool for Navy and Marine Corps horizontal construction estimation. It can estimate a wide array of vehicle and logistic metrics with minimal input required. The app also features an augmented reality (AR) 3D model viewer mapped to physical space for estimating maintenance site layouts. The back-facing camera feed will be shown on the screen, and any point on the floor or ground can be tapped to place a model and view it in the real world. This feature works best on devices with a LiDAR camera.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ESTIMATE at none against Auto Agent's 6. ESTIMATE also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Auto Agent's advantage is ratings volume (42K vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Auto Agent against 5.0 for ESTIMATE. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Auto Agent has 42K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Auto Agent ships an update every 3 months, ESTIMATE every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
