Photo to line items

Snap the room. Every line gets a confidence score.

Take a photo from the doorway. Estimancer picks out what’s there, prices each line, and scores how sure it is, so you know exactly what to double-check before you send.

PDF Editor & Export

Follow-Ups on Autopilot

Know when they open it. Follow up before they forget.

Send the estimate from Estimancer and see where it stands: delivered, opened, replied, accepted. If a client goes quiet, follow-up emails written by AI go out for you, and they stop the moment the client replies.

  • See when each estimate is delivered, opened and accepted, all in one place Pro+
  • Edit what every follow-up says, or pause them anytime Pro+
  • Clients review and e-sign from their phone, no login needed (every plan)

Pricing Memory

Fix a price once. Every estimate after remembers it.

Change any price the AI suggests and add it to your Cost Book in one tap. The next time it prices a job, it starts from your numbers, fuzzy-matched across different wording, and every line shows where its price came from.

  • Builds itself automatically from every estimate you save, no manual setup required
  • Import a CSV price list or a supplier quote PDF directly, no retyping
  • Possible duplicates are surfaced for a one-click review and merge; prices you haven't updated in a while get flagged too

Progress Billing

Turn completed work into an actual bill.

Check off finished line items, or log what each one actually cost you, and generate a bill in one click. Each bill freezes percent complete, value completed, amount previously billed, and amount due, so a bill downloaded months later still matches what was billed at the time.

  • Works alongside manually logged deposits: check, wire, ACH, card, Zelle

Calendar & Scheduling

Every site visit, delivery, and inspection in one place.

A job calendar with month, week, day, and agenda views. Each event can optionally link to a project and client, with its own status, duration, and price.

  • Link any event to a project and client in one click
  • Track job status from scheduled through complete
