User Reviews
Been using this app for years. It makes billing so fast and easy.!
For me this app works perfectly for my small business. I appreciate that they keep it simple and easy to use.
Si la sabes usar, puedes encontrar la respuesta a todos tus problemas. Muy buena herramienta de trabajo. Por eso le doy las 5 estrellas.
You know most of these types of programs are way off. Also they just don’t look right or are complex to use. This isn’t. It actually makes me more money as a contractor and honestly I’ve had several customers tell me they have selected me due to my presentation of bid using this software. Also insurance companies weren’t used to it at first but have come to appreciate its great details and I have never had any issues with pricing once I show and mention the price book I utilized and how I came to my figures. It’s simple to use for us old school contractors and is quite professional for everyone and transparent. I personally have used it for years. Love it! Accurate, area coordinated pricing, fair and profitable. Keep up the good work!
Easy and quick to generate estimates Updated price books make it a breeze
Once you drill into this thing and get it set up it’s the easiest way to get estimates and invoices out to customers fast.
I love this app. It has advanced since the beginning which I can say I’ve been using this app to build proposals for almost 10 years now. When you get used to the layout it will help you knock out a great looking proposal in a short amount of time. You can build a mock up proposal for each scope and then copy/paste to help blaze through the redundant literature typing.
I’ve been using the app on iPhone’s for years now and it’s a great app to use. I’ve always had great customer service here but recently I’ve experienced the true nature of capitalism. I was looking into downloading the app for my MacBook but realized that I couldn’t afford the $40+ cost for this app. I reached out to customer service for a possible slight reduction in the price (this is during Covid-19 shutdowns) and literally received no response and was completely ignored. So, I decided I would not get the app here but went ahead and moved to a different app instead. Customer service is important and the foundation for our businesses. Best
This has help be me out many of days
Very intuitive and easy to setup and send estimates. A simple invoicing feature would be greatly appreciated in future versions.
