What it is
Clear Estimates is estimating software for residential remodelers, handymen, and general contractors. Its database provides line-item labor and material pricing tailored to more than 400 U.S. areas, with quarterly updates. The product also includes more than 400 templates and lets users build itemized estimates and client-ready proposals with company branding, scopes of work, and boilerplate language. Parts, templates, and boilerplate can be edited, while alternate prices can be added to a project as change orders. Users can also create payable invoices; customers may pay by credit card or ACH. QuickBooks Online and Desktop integrations are available to all customers. Pro adds estimate exports to BuilderTrend and connections to CRMs and other apps through Zapier. Standard includes one login; Pro allows additional users for $9/month and can restrict sales users from changing pricing or templates. Plans start at $59 a month billed annually, and a 30-day trial is available. The software is offered on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows.
