Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about SnapEstimate Pro — who it's for, what it does, supported trades, mobile use, and getting started.
Getting Started
What is SnapEstimate Pro?+
SnapEstimate Pro is a mobile-first app for contractors that helps you capture leads, job notes, photos, and estimates in one place — so you can quote jobs faster and stay organized without juggling multiple apps.
Who is SnapEstimate Pro for?+
It's built for small residential home service contractors — general contractors, handymen, masonry, fencing, landscaping, plumbing, painting, and roofing pros — usually solo or small-crew operations.
How do I sign in or create an account?+
Go to snapestimatepro.com and tap Create Free Account. You can continue with Google or with email. The same flow handles both new accounts and returning sign-ins — if you don't have an account yet, one is created for you.
Features
Does SnapEstimate Pro automatically price every type of job?+
No. SnapEstimate Pro drafts an estimate based on the scope and notes you provide — you are always responsible for the final pricing. The app doesn't auto-price jobs or measure them for you. That's intentional: pricing depends on your materials, labor, and market, and you should be the one to set it.
Is SnapEstimate Pro meant to replace my full CRM?+
No. SnapEstimate Pro focuses on lead capture, job context, and estimates. It's not a full CRM, accounting system, or project management tool. It's designed to handle the part of your day where most contractor time and money leaks happen.
Trades
Can I use SnapEstimate Pro for masonry jobs?+
Yes. Masonry contractors use SnapEstimate Pro to capture site photos, scope, materials, and access notes, then draft an estimate from those notes. You review and adjust pricing before sending.
Can I use SnapEstimate Pro for fencing jobs?+
Yes. Fence contractors use it to capture fence type, height, linear footage, gates, terrain notes, and photos, then send an estimate same-day.
Can plumbers, painters, landscapers, roofers, and handymen use it?+
Yes. SnapEstimate Pro is built for residential home service trades broadly. The lead-capture, photo, voice-note, and estimate flow works for any trade where you walk a job and quote it.
Pricing
Is SnapEstimate Pro free to try?+
Yes. SnapEstimate Pro has a real free plan you can use to capture leads and send estimates. You can upgrade to Pro when you're ready for unlimited estimates and additional features.
Do I need a credit card to start?+
No. The free plan does not require a credit card. You only enter payment info if you decide to upgrade to Pro.
Mobile Use
Does SnapEstimate Pro work on iPhone?+
Yes. SnapEstimate Pro runs in Safari on iPhone and can be added to your home screen so it opens like a regular app. See the help article on adding to home screen for the step-by-step.
Does SnapEstimate Pro work on Android?+
Yes. SnapEstimate Pro runs in Chrome on Android and can be installed to your home screen for a full-app experience.
Can I use SnapEstimate Pro before leaving the job site?+
Yes — that's the main use case. You can capture the lead, take photos, dictate voice notes, draft the estimate, and send it to the customer from your phone before you leave the property.
Estimates
Can I create estimates from job notes?+
Yes. SnapEstimate Pro uses your scope, voice notes, and photos to draft an estimate with line items. You review the line items and pricing, adjust anything that needs adjusting, and send.
Photos & Leads
Can I upload job photos?+
Yes. You can take photos directly into the lead (so they don't end up scattered in your camera roll) or upload photos from your phone's gallery. Photos stay attached to the lead and can be included in the customer-facing estimate.
