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 before you leave the driveway. No tape measure. No ladder. No desktop software. KEY FEATURES 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. 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. No drone, no ladder, no site visit. 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. Plain-English Job Intake Describe what happened in plain language and AI builds a full priced scope with line items, quantities, and units. Attach up to 20 floor plans, photo reports, roof measurements, and files as backing evidence in one flow. 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. Estimates That Get Paid Share in one tap by email, Messages, AirDrop, or Files. Every estimate is a branded, professional PDF your client can open on any device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: BluMatrix at free with in-app purchases against Estimate Maker's subscription. BluMatrix also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and chart position (#198 vs unranked). Estimate Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
