What Does Your Quoting Software Cost When You Hire?
Move the slider. Every competitor figure comes from that vendor's own published pricing page, on a date we show you — and where a vendor doesn't publish enough to do the arithmetic, this says so instead of guessing.
Count everyone who needs to open the software and build or send a quote — not just the owner.
QuotingAI
$132 /mo CAD
The Crew plan covers up to 5 users. Your bill is the same whether you fill those seats or not.
What The Others Charge
Each figure is derived from that vendor's own published rates. Nothing here is converted between currencies — a US-dollar price is shown as a US-dollar price.
Essentials includes 5 users, which covers 5.
$149/mo

Contractors & Lumberyards is a flat rate with unlimited users, so 5 estimators costs the same as one.
$250/mo

Buildertrend publishes no price at all — it's quote-only, behind a sales call.
Can't be derived
Clear Estimates publishes prices but not how many users each plan includes, so a total at this headcount can't be derived without guessing.
Can't be derived
Jobber publishes prices but not how many users each plan includes, so a total at this headcount can't be derived without guessing.

ServiceTitan publishes no price at all — it's quote-only, behind a sales call.
Can't be derived
Rows marked “can't be derived” are not an oversight. Those vendors either publish no price at all, or publish a price without saying how many users it covers — so any total we showed you would be a guess. Every figure that IS shown links to a comparison page where the source and the date it was read are on the record.
Why Per-Seat Pricing Bites Later, Not Now
Per-seat software is cheap on the day you buy it, because on that day you are one person. The cost is not the sticker — it is the derivative. Every estimator you add is a permanent monthly increase, and it lands in the same month you took on the payroll, the truck and the insurance for that hire.
Watch for three things the sticker price hides. First, who counts as a user — some vendors count anyone who logs in at all, including field crew who only look at the schedule. Second, seat ceilings: several plans include a fixed number of users and jump you to the next tier the moment you exceed it, so your bill does not rise smoothly, it steps. Third, the currency — a US-dollar subscription is a moving Canadian cost you do not control.
None of this makes per-seat pricing wrong. If you are a solo operator and intend to stay one, per-seat is often the cheapest thing on the table, and this calculator will show you that plainly.
Where These Numbers Come From
Every figure is read from the vendor's own published pricing page and dated. Nothing here is converted between currencies, and nothing is estimated. The full working — including who each tool is genuinely better for — is on the comparison pages:
