A free estimate and invoice app for independent contractors
Painters, cleaners, handymen, landscapers and detailers often write quotes from scratch every time. Reusing real past jobs saves time and keeps pricing consistent.
What to look for in an estimate app
- Start from a saved job or template, not a blank page.
- Support for both price-first and cost-first quoting.
- Line items that fit your trade: hourly, per unit, per area or per crew.
- Taxes, discounts, deposits and payment stages.
- A way to check profit before you send.
- Works without a signal on site.
How ScopeBid approaches it
ScopeBid: Estimate & Invoice is a free iPhone app from Honest Little Apps. Everything below comes from its App Store description.
- ScopeBid creates contractor estimates and turns approved jobs into invoices from your iPhone, even with no signal.
- You can start from a saved job, a trade template or a blank quote, and price first (enter what the customer pays) or cost first (enter labor and materials and get a suggested price).
- Business Memory keeps every job with its rates, hours and materials, so the next quote starts from a real past job.
- A local price book holds services, materials, trip charges and minimums.
