Turn any property walk-through into a polished, line-itemed estimate in minutes, right from your phone. BluMatrix is the all-in-one field tool for contractors, restoration crews, roofers, insurance adjusters, and homeowners. Scan the rooms, measure the roof from satellite, snap photos, talk through what you see, and ask your AI assistant for the takeoffs. Then send a branded, claim-ready PDF, or open the job in Xactimate, before you leave the driveway. No tape measure. No ladder. No desktop software. KEY FEATURES Xactimate ESX Export Your line items, floor plan and roof go out as an ESX file that opens in Xactimate as a real estimate, drawn, priced and ready to edit. No retyping. Instant Roof Estimates Type an address and BluMatrix measures the roof (area, pitch, and squares) straight from satellite imagery, then builds a priced roofing scope. Plus a full roof report: every plane with its pitch, direction, lengths and area, ready to edit and send to Xactimate. No drone, no ladder, no site visit. Edit Any Plan on Your Phone Move walls and roof lines, add doors, windows and planes, rename rooms. The plan, the roof report and the estimate follow every change. Meet Your Assistant Every job gets its own AI chat. Attach scans, photos, reports, and files, then just ask. It does the takeoff math from your actual measurements, checks real material prices, writes supplements, letters, and scopes as polished PDFs, and hands the whole job brief to your estimate in one tap. LiDAR Floor Plans Map any room in about 60 seconds with your iPhone or iPad Pro's LiDAR sensor. Walls, doors, windows, dimensions, and total area are captured automatically and rendered as a clean, fully-dimensioned, branded PDF. Floor Plans on Any iPhone No LiDAR? Trace the corners of the room and BluMatrix draws a true floor plan with real measurements. Every iPhone is now a measuring tool. Walk. Talk. Document. Start a walkthrough, speak what you see, and snap photos as you go. BluMatrix turns your voice into clean, professional field notes matched to every photo. The clipboard is gone. AI Photo Reports Snap photos on site and let AI label damage, materials, and access constraints, turning a camera roll into a structured report clients and adjusters can read at a glance. Manual Photo Reports are built in too. Insurance-Grade Pricing Every estimate is priced against the same pricebooks adjusters use, with support for every major carrier and program, so your scope is claim-ready from the first tap. No rework. No rejected line items. Multi-Language Support Every screen in English or Spanish, following your phone, with a switch in Account. Organized by Property Just start scanning. Every scan, report, and estimate files itself to the right property automatically. Floors, plans, photos, and paperwork, all in one place.

TaskArc is the quote-to-cash app for solo contractors and one-person trade businesses. Describe a job in plain words and AI writes the itemized estimate: labor, materials and prices you can check and change before you send it. Then run the job, invoice it and record the payment, all from your phone. DESCRIBE THE JOB, GET THE ESTIMATE Type or speak the job the way you would tell the customer. TaskArc turns it into priced lines, each marked Labor or Material, and every line is editable. Nothing is sent until you have checked the total. PRICED FROM YOUR OWN RATES Set your labor rate and the parts you use once, in your price book. TaskArc starts you on typical rates for your trade, and the quote builder reads your prices first. SEND IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE DRIVEWAY Send the quote by text, email or link. Your customer sees a clean quote with your business details, and you can see when it has been viewed and accepted. FROM ACCEPTED QUOTE TO FINISHED JOB Schedule the work and track it from Scheduled to In progress to Completed. Keep tasks, photos, expenses and notes on the job. JOB DONE? INVOICE IT When a job is complete, TaskArc offers to turn it into an invoice with the quote and logged expenses already on it. Send it, see what is overdue, and send a reminder by email or text. RECORD THE PAYMENT Log each payment against the invoice and watch the balance clear. When a customer pays in full, ask them for a Google review with one tap. SEE WHO OWES YOU Home opens on what matters: money owed to you, overdue invoices, quotes waiting for a reply and this week's jobs. KNOW WHAT YOU ACTUALLY MADE Profit and margin for the month, revenue against expenses, quote acceptance rate, days to get paid and your top customers. BUILT FOR ONE PERSON, NOT A CREW Most field service software is priced and built for companies with dispatchers and per-seat licenses. TaskArc is built for the person in the truck: no crew features you will never use and no long setup. MADE FOR Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, roofers, painters, handymen, landscapers, carpenters, masons, tile setters, drywall, flooring and general contractors. PRICING TaskArc Pro is $19.00 per month or $182.99 per year, about 20 percent less than paying monthly. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings at any time.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: BluMatrix at free with in-app purchases against TaskArc's subscription. BluMatrix also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1). TaskArc's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
