AI Estimating for Contractors
Stop spending hours writing estimates.
Turn a few photos or a quick walkthrough into a priced estimate in minutes. Estimancer calculates materials and labor automatically from your own pricing history, you set the tax and markup, then review, edit, and send, all from your phone. No office, no software to install.

Pricing Memory
Your own price list, built automatically.

- Starts pre-seeded with trade-appropriate pricing, converts to yours the moment you edit it
- Import a CSV price list or a supplier quote PDF directly, no retyping
- Duplicate items merge automatically; unusual price drift gets flagged for review

Confidence Score
Know exactly what to double-check before you send.
Every estimate carries a live confidence score built from real signals: how many line items matched your pricing history, how many were inferred rather than sourced, and how many clarifying questions went unanswered.
- Factor-by-factor breakdown: weight, sub-score, and contribution
- Inferred-value flags on any line the AI had to assume
- One tap to mark a flagged line reviewed and correct

Progress Billing
Turn completed work into an actual bill.

- Works alongside manually logged deposits: check, wire, ACH, card, Zelle
- Or connect Stripe to collect deposits directly, fees split however you choose
