PaintQuote Pro

PaintQuote Pro is estimating software for residential and commercial painting contractors, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its AI assistant generates quotes from project requirements, and contractors can prepare them on site and send them by email or text. The estimator calculates paint quantities from surface area, coverage rates, and coat count, with paint brand and product pricing data. Customer management and analytics cover quote conversion, win/loss rates, and profitability. The listed feature set also includes estimate building, proposal signatures, job scheduling, crew management, material cost tracking, invoicing, and payments. Paid features include custom branding, branded PDF export, and a color visualizer. Integrations include Stripe and email through Resend; QuickBooks and Square appear in its featured integrations section. The API documentation describes REST endpoints, OAuth 2.0, webhooks, and a limit of 1,000 requests per hour per API key. The free option provides two professional quotes as a one-time allowance, not a recurring free plan or an expiring 14-day trial. Starter costs $239.99 a year ($20/mo billed yearly) for five quotes per month.

PaintQuote Pro brings estimating, quote delivery, customer tracking, and contractor workflow features together. Keep the one-time free allowance and each plan's quote limits in mind when selecting an option.

PaintQuote Pro suits residential and commercial painting contractors who need to prepare estimates and track customers or quote outcomes. Its mobile availability may fit contractors creating quotes on site.

Overview

PaintQuote Pro is estimating and business software for residential and commercial painting contractors. It is best suited to contractors who want to prepare quotes and manage customer and job work in one service. The two free quotes offer a limited start; ongoing estimating means paying per quote or choosing a subscription.

Key features

Estimating and customer work

An AI assistant can generate painting quotes from project requirements, and a calculator covers different surfaces. Quantity estimates use surface area, coverage rates, and coat count, with paint-brand and product pricing data to help account for materials. Contractors can create quotes on site and send them by email or text, while proposal signatures are supported. That combination suits field-based estimating, though contractors should weigh the quote caps and charges against their expected volume.

Customer management and analytics track quote conversion, win/loss rates, and profitability. Estimate building, job scheduling, crew management, material cost tracking, and invoicing and payments are also supported, giving contractors tools beyond quote creation. Paid plans add custom branding, branded PDF export, and a color visualizer.

Integrations, API, and support

Stripe and email through Resend are available integrations; QuickBooks and Square are also featured integrations. Other integrations are planned or coming soon. The API uses REST endpoints, OAuth 2.0, and webhooks, with a limit of 1,000 requests per hour per API key. Requests use TLS 1.3 encryption, and integrations use OAuth 2.0 and encrypted connections.

Support includes weekday live chat from 9 AM to 6 PM EST, email support with a 24–48 hour response, and video tutorials. Priority support is included with Unlimited.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and provides two professional quotes to start, basic customer management, and no credit-card requirement. Those two quotes are a one-time allowance, not a recurring free tier; there is no free-forever plan or expiring 14-day trial. Use it to assess a small initial workload, not as a continuing option.

Pay-as-you-go plans avoid monthly commitments but make quote volume a direct cost. 1 Quote costs $4.99, paid once for one quote. 20 Quotes costs $79.99, paid once for 20 quotes, or $4 each. These suit occasional or uneven workloads; they do not bundle the subscription features.

Starter costs $239.99 a year, billed at $239.99/year ($20/mo billed yearly). It includes five quotes per month, analytics, customer management, mobile and offline access, and email support. The monthly quota and annual billing make it a better fit for steady, modest volume than for frequent estimating or seasonal use that varies sharply.

Unlimited costs $69.99 a month and includes unlimited quotes, custom branding, branded PDF export, a color visualizer, mobile and offline access, and priority support. It is the clearest fit for contractors with quote volume beyond Starter's five-per-month allowance and who will use its presentation and support features; the higher recurring price is harder to justify for occasional quoting.

Platforms

PaintQuote Pro is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Mobile and offline access are included with Starter and Unlimited.

Who it's for

Painting contractors who want estimating alongside customer management and job, crew, material, and payment tools should consider it. Contractors sending only a few quotes may prefer pay-as-you-go pricing, while those needing recurring capacity should compare Starter's five-quote monthly cap with Unlimited. A contractor who needs a lasting free tier should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Surface-based quantity estimates account for coverage rates and coats, and incorporate paint product pricing data.
• Pro: Customer analytics, scheduling, crew management, material tracking, and invoicing extend the service beyond estimating.
• Pro: Pay-as-you-go options avoid a monthly commitment for low or irregular quote volume.
• Con: The free allowance ends after two quotes, so it is not a sustainable free plan.
• Con: Starter allows five quotes per month, limiting its fit for contractors who estimate frequently.
• Con: Unlimited's $69.99 monthly price may not pay off for businesses with occasional quote needs.
• Con: Several integrations remain planned or coming soon rather than available.

Alternatives

Painting Contractor Software is a category roundup for readers who want to compare more options.

Surfacely is worth considering when broader platform coverage matters: it supports Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows, and its free plan includes two team seats and five buildings to start. PaintClarity may suit teams seeking a free plan with unlimited jobs and quotes and unlimited painters and admin users, plus self-hosted availability.

PaintWiser is a stronger fit for a solo user seeking recurring free capacity: its free plan includes one user, 20 quotes per month, scheduling, invoicing, mobile and web access, and preset pricing. The EDGE is another option for readers willing to request a demo for pricing.

DripJobs, InsightPaint, Estimate Rocket, and ServBuilder are other options to compare.

Verdict

PaintQuote Pro is a sound choice for painting contractors who want estimating, customer tracking, and job operations in one service, especially if they can use its mobile workflow and analytics. Its main advantage is the combination of surface-based estimating with broader contractor tools; its main drawback is that free use ends after two quotes and the continuing plans impose either per-quote costs or monthly and annual commitments. Choose it if those tools justify the plan that fits your volume; look elsewhere if you need ongoing free quoting or a lower recurring cost.
