# ContractorTools vs Job Quote Maker

The clearest difference is update cadence: Job Quote Maker at weekly against ContractorTools's every 3 weeks. Job Quote Maker also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 81%). ContractorTools's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 153) and chart position (#198 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ContractorTools sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Job Quote Maker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for ContractorTools against 4.8 for Job Quote Maker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ContractorTools has 1.8K ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of ContractorTools's written reviews are positive against 93% of Job Quote Maker's.

ContractorTools ships an update every 3 weeks, Job Quote Maker weekly. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
