Blueprints, floor plans, a diagram on a napkin. SayEstimate reads it, pulls the quantities, and prices every single line item at your rates, or at smart market rates until you've built a price book, so you're not spending the evening doing the takeoff by hand.
Every estimate you send gets watched. You know the second they open it, a polite nudge goes out if it goes quiet, and a late invoice gets a friendly nudge until it's paid. The jobs you'd have forgotten to follow up on are the ones that pay for the app.
By text or email, with a link they can approve, sign, and pay from their phone.
You get a heads-up the moment they look, and the app shows it was viewed and how many times.
👀 Opened · viewed 3 timesAbout a week with no answer and a polite nudge goes out for you. Still quiet a week later? One more. Each nudge gives them one-tap buttons, so you always know where you stand.
They sign and pay the deposit on the spot. If an invoice ever runs late, a friendly reminder goes out about once a week until it's paid.

Every step either happens automatically or takes one tap. Nothing sits in a pile on the truck seat.

E-signature and card deposit right on their phone. You get the 💰 email before you're off the ladder.
Approved jobs line up ready to book. Day-by-day agenda your whole crew can see.
Card, bank transfer, or financing, straight to your Stripe. Then the customer gets your review link automatically.
Every other AI estimator guesses, and stays a guess. SayEstimate learns. The more jobs you win, the more it prices like you do.
When a customer accepts your estimate, SayEstimate quietly learns what you actually charged and offers to update your price book to match. One tap, and your AI stops guessing and starts pricing like you.
Nobody else does this. The other guys' AI is almost right on day one and still almost right a year later. Yours converges on your true numbers the more you use it.
One tap syncs your invoices to QuickBooks, so your books stay straight with no double entry. That is the thing your bookkeeper actually asks about. Excel export too.
Every SayEstimate business gets a public Instant Quote page, a link and QR code for your website, yard signs, Facebook page, and truck door. Homeowners describe the job and the lead lands in your app in seconds. On Pro and Crew, our AI even hands them a ballpark on the spot.
A homeowner opens your link, types what they need in their own words, adds photos. No forms from the 90s, no "we'll call you maybe."
On Pro and Crew, the AI reads the job and shows the homeowner an honest ballpark range on the spot, priced from your price book, or smart market rates until you’ve built one. All while your competitors are still checking voicemail. On Basic and Forever, the lead comes straight to you and you answer with the price.
You get a 🔥 email instantly, on every plan. The lead sits in your app with the job, photos, and contact info attached; one tap turns it into a real estimate ready to send.
Ask any contractor, the first price in usually wins the job. SayEstimate makes sure that's you: seconds, not days.
Customer payments land directly in your own Stripe account the moment they pay. SayEstimate never touches it, holds it, or pays you out "on our schedule", because it was never ours.
The follow-ups, the reminders, the "did they open it?", the Monday numbers, handled.
First time a customer opens your estimate or invoice, you get an email. The app shows "Opened, not signed yet" so you know exactly who to call while it's warm.
Estimate quiet for a week? SayEstimate sends a polite nudge with one-tap buttons (approve now, still thinking, ready in two weeks, other plans), and one more a week later if it is still quiet. Overdue invoices get a friendly weekly nudge until they're paid.
Opened. Signed. Deposit in. Invoice paid. Your phone tells you the second any of it happens, no refreshing, no wondering.
Maintenance plans and monthly billing on autopilot. SayEstimate creates and even sends each invoice on schedule, with a pay link attached.
Invoice gets paid → customer automatically gets a thank-you with your Google review link. Happy customers become your next job.
One email to start the week: what came in, what's owed, what's overdue, and which estimates are waiting on a yes.
Customers save a card once, every recurring invoice charges automatically and marks itself paid. You get a "paid" email instead of a chase list.
The day before a scheduled job, your client automatically gets a friendly "see you tomorrow at 8" email. Fewer wasted trips to empty houses.
Rolling out? One tap and their phone buzzes from your own number, "on my way now", so they can text right back.
The trades run on English AND Spanish, and SayEstimate speaks both, on your side and your customer's. Now it speaks Français, Deutsch, Português, and Italiano too.
Dashboard, estimates, schedule, reports, help, flip one switch in Settings and every word follows: English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Português, or Italiano. Your crew works in whichever language they think in.
Presupuestos, facturas y el portal del cliente en español, con su propio interruptor English/Español. Sus clientes ven, firman y pagan en su idioma, con confianza.
Included on every plan. Ask the big guys what they charge for this, then ask if they even have it.
Not a chatbot bolted on the side. AI doing real contractor work.
Talk the job and photograph it as you walk. A draft estimate with priced line items is waiting before you're back in the truck.
Upload a plan set or job photos and the AI takes off quantities and builds the line items. It can even pull a roof/attic measurement from the client's address.
AI prices from current going rates on day one, switches to YOUR price book as you build it, and can look up today's real material prices from the web.
Photograph the Home Depot receipt on the dash and it reads everything: vendor, total, date, category, even the customer's name scrawled on it, filed to the right job.
One description becomes three priced options. Customers pick a tier instead of deciding yes-or-no, and they pick the middle one a lot.
"Invoice Donnie for the attic job." "Who owes me money?" Ask in plain English (or Spanish) and it gets done.
The Crew plan puts up to 8 people in the app for $59.99/month flat, while the big guys charge per seat, per month, forever. And every hour they work gets counted, by person.
Your crew taps Clock in on the job. You see every hour by person and by job, this week or any week, with a payroll-ready spreadsheet in one tap. Each person sees their own week too, so there's nothing to argue about on Friday. Set a cost per person and the report prices the labor for you. Every clock-in drops a GPS pin, so you know they were at the job. Forgot to clock out? It catches that and asks.
Everyone quotes and invoices under YOUR company name, numbers, and logo. Invite by email; they're in before lunch.
Per member, per toggle: dollar totals and reports, expenses, or just the work. Your books are your business.
Day-by-day jobs with times, crew, and gate codes. Approved work queues itself up ready to book, and you can see who's on the clock right now.
Not a mockup, a real SayEstimate estimate, exactly as it lands on your customer’s phone. Optional add-ons they can toggle, honest tax math, your terms above their signature.
The price you join at is the price you keep, no tier games, no add-on ransoms, no per-seat surprises. And if you ever leave, you keep read-only access to every document you created. Your paperwork is yours.
