Complete Guide
The best contractor office is the one in your pocket.
You're on a job site, in a truck, or on a ladder when the next lead calls. You need to capture information fast, generate a professional estimate before you leave the driveway, and attach a photo of the damage before you forget what you saw. This guide covers every field tool a solo contractor needs — all in one app.
The Real Cost
What your current app stack actually costs.
Most solo contractors run 4–5 separate apps. Here's the monthly total — and what Lead Score costs to replace all of them.

Monthly total$27–56/month
Lead Score replaces all of the above

Our Verdict
FAQ
What contractors ask before switching.
Can I send estimates directly from Lead Score?
Yes. Lead Score generates a professional PDF estimate and lets you email it directly from the app, share it via any messaging app, or save it to your phone. The estimate is linked to the lead card so you always know which estimate belongs to which lead.
Does Lead Score work offline for estimates?
Yes. All data is stored locally. You can create, edit, and save estimates with no internet connection. The estimate syncs to the lead card automatically when you're back online — though since there's no cloud, there's nothing to sync. Everything just lives on your device.
Can I attach photos from a job site visit to a lead?
Yes. Lead Score supports photo and document attachments on every lead card. Take a photo during the qualifying visit and attach it directly — so the image is there when you write the proposal, not floating in your camera roll.
How is Lead Score different from Joist for estimates?
Joist is a standalone estimating app — it starts at the estimate, not the lead. Lead Score starts at the lead qualification and generates the estimate as part of the same workflow. The estimate is connected to the lead score, activity log, and mileage record — Joist has none of that context.
Can I convert an estimate to an invoice in Lead Score?
Yes. When a lead is marked Won, you can convert the estimate to an invoice with one tap. The invoice inherits all the line items, client details, and job description from the estimate.
