Before you choose
Check plans, prices and trials
Look for products that provide a free plan. Starting paid prices are $10 per user per month for ContractorCounter, $19 per month for JobPlumb, $19 per month for OneEstimate and $20 per month for Metres.ai Plumbing Estimating.
Trial terms differ. ContractorCounter offers three days, while Costryx and Metres.ai offer 14 days. QuoteSoft includes a free-trial option.
Look for plumbing cost data
Material and labor calculations in an estimate may use a plumbing cost database. Check whether the product you are considering includes the cost data your work requires.
Match takeoff and template tools
Quantity takeoff turns project plans or measurements into estimate quantities. Estimate templates can help keep proposals consistent. Confirm that both functions fit your workflow before choosing a product.
Choose the platforms you use
Available platform options span web, Windows, iOS, Android, macOS and API connections.
Review job costing and proposal output
Job costing connects estimate figures with project spending. Exporting a proposal can turn an estimate into a document for the customer. Review these functions if your process depends on either step.
