EstimateElite vs Handoff
Both put a number on a remodel. Handoff prices the job after you have walked it, for you, so your bid goes out the same day. The EstimateElite app prices the job before you have walked it, for the homeowner, so you only walk the jobs that are worth it. One writes your estimate. The other decides who gets one.
| Handoff | The EstimateElite app | |
|---|---|---|
| Who sees the price first | You, after the site visit | The homeowner, on your website, before anyone books |
| What it produces | Your estimate and proposal | Three tier prices, three answers and a score out of 10, by text |
| When it works | After the drive | Before the drive |
| Filters homeowners who cannot afford the work | No | Yes. Set the floor and anyone under it finds out on the site |
| Writes your final quote | Yes | No. Your quote stays yours, after you have seen the job |
| Price | From $119 a month billed annually | $150 a month billed annually, or $350 month to month. One plan, everything included. |
| Trial | 7 days on Flex | 7 day free trial, then 30 day money back. |

What the app is
A pre qualification tool that lives on your own website, in a text, on your Google profile or in your ads. The homeowner picks the room, enters the size, the ZIP and the features, and sees three prices at your pricing with materials and labor by line. Then the app asks when she is starting, whether the price fits her budget and who decides, scores her out of 10, and sends you the ones worth the drive. Homeowners who cannot afford your quality of service find out on the site and never reach your phone.
You still do your own estimates. The app decides who gets one.
Buy Handoff if
You are winning enough of the visits you make, and the bottleneck is the evening you spend writing the quote.
Buy the app if
The bottleneck is the visits themselves: half of them were never going to close, and you find that out in the driveway.
The things contractors ask us.
Yes. The app decides who gets a visit. Handoff, or your own spreadsheet, writes the quote after it. They do not touch.
