Clear Estimates review

Clear Estimates is the quickest route from a site visit to a priced remodeling estimate. Instead of measuring drawings, you build estimates from a Part Library with local material and labor prices that are updated quarterly, or start from preloaded project templates. The AI Estimator drafts an estimate from a written scope, picks parts from the library and shows the source of every line so you can review it. Every plan includes unlimited estimates and customers, built-in e-signature and payable invoices. Standard costs $79 a month or $59 billed annually for one login. Pro at $119, or $99 billed annually, adds estimates from photos and plans, the Buildertrend integration, Zapier, custom reports, ATTOM property data and extra users for $9 a month each. It is a narrower tool than the takeoff platforms above, but it is the easiest to learn here.
