How to choose

What should I compare in the pricing?

Check whether a tool has a free plan, a free trial or a paid starting price. These are different options: a trial is time-limited, while a free plan has no stated trial period.

For example, 247PRO lists a free plan, a $34.30 monthly starting price on annual billing and a 14-day trial. Builder Prime lists a $10 per-user monthly starting price and a 14-day trial, but no free plan.

Which estimating features should I look for?

Compare estimate templates, a cost database, line items and digital takeoff against the way you prepare project estimates. Online proposal signing may matter if you want customers to sign proposals online.

Buildxact, for example, lists a free plan and a paid starting price of $169 per month on annual billing. Check the feature details for the tools you are considering.

Which devices and platforms does it need to support?

Choose a tool that runs where you need to estimate: web, iOS, Android, Windows or macOS. Mobile estimating is also a feature to compare, since platform availability and estimating functions are separate considerations.

Cobuild lists web, iOS and Android support. If you need a public API, check whether that option is listed for the tool.
