One estimate, two versions. You see cost and margin. Your client sees prices and a total.

How it works

It does what your estimate spreadsheet does, without the broken formulas.

01Start from a template

Pick the kind of job. Every line it usually needs is already listed, so you delete what doesn’t apply instead of remembering what does.

02Add prices and costs

Enter what you charge and what each line costs you. Margin, markup and net profit update as you type.

03Send the client version

Export a PDF, Excel file or share link with prices, quantities and one total.

Templates for your trade

Each industry has templates listing what to price for that kind of job. Prices are left blank because they’re yours.

Seven industries

Questions

Units, tax math, deposits and exports are covered in the Help guide.

Can my client see my costs or margins?

No. Client exports and share links are built from a copy that only contains prices, totals and terms. Costs, margins and internal notes are not in it.

Do I need an account?

No. The builder and every estimate export work without one, and your estimate autosaves in your browser, including on your phone. A free account adds one cloud-saved estimate. Pro makes it unlimited.

Is Pro a subscription?

No. It’s $39 once. It adds your branding to client exports, removes our footer, turns an estimate into an invoice, lifts the cloud-save limit and gives you a catalog of saved line items.

How is this different from a spreadsheet or an invoicing app?

A spreadsheet starts blank, and its formulas break when you delete a row. Invoicing apps charge monthly and still start you from a blank page. Estimatery starts from your trade’s line items, shows your margin while you price, and the builder is free.

Where is my data stored?

In your browser, unless you save to an account. Share links carry a compressed, client-safe copy inside the link itself.
