Professional PDF estimates. From your phone. Attached to the lead.
Most contractors still email PDF estimates from a laptop or use Joist at $8–32/month. Lead Score generates professional PDF estimates directly from the lead card on your phone — so estimates live next to the scoring, mileage, and notes that went into writing them.
| Choose Lead Score if… | Choose Other Apps if… |
|---|---|
| Lead Score lets you build and send professional PDF estimates from your phone — connected to the lead that earned the quote, not floating in a separate app. | Standalone estimate apps create beautiful PDFs. They have no idea whether the lead you're quoting was worth quoting. |
| You want to qualify the lead before building the estimate | You need advanced estimate templates with e-signature |
| You want estimates, mileage, and lead scoring in one app | You need Joist's or Invoice Simple's specific client payment portal |
| You want offline-first, no account required | You need QuickBooks estimate sync |
Lead Score vs Other Apps
Lead Score was built so the estimate lives inside the lead — not in a separate app you switch to after the call. Estimate creation starts with qualification. Always.

They've all raised prices. And none of them connect to your leads.
Joist raised prices and removed features from the free tier — contractors who relied on it for years are re-evaluating. Invoice Simple capped invoices at 10/month and raised prices mid-subscription. The pattern is the same: standalone estimating apps extract maximum revenue and provide minimal value for solo contractors.
An estimate app that doesn't know your lead is making you do double the work.
The deeper problem: every standalone estimate app lives in a silo. Your estimate is disconnected from the lead that generated it, the score you assigned, the notes you took, and the mileage you drove to the site visit. You're managing two separate systems for one workflow.
Lead Score generates PDF estimates directly from the lead card. The estimate knows the client name, contact info, project description, and price range — because it's sitting inside the lead record that contains all of that. One app. One workflow.
"I wish there was a way to track leads before I send the estimate and connect the two."
Joist user feedback, 2025
Estimates built from leads. Invoices built from estimates.
Create an estimate directly from any lead card. The client information is pre-filled from the lead. Add line items, set the total, and export a professional PDF in one tap. Send it via email or WhatsApp directly from the app.
When the estimate is accepted, convert it to an invoice with one tap. Track status through open, verbal, signed, and paid. Every status change is logged in the lead's activity history automatically.
Your financials dashboard shows total quoted value, open estimates, verbal agreements, and signed contracts. You know your pipeline value at a glance — connected to the lead scoring data that tells you whether that pipeline is realistic.
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.
Or go annual at $59.99/year — less than $5/month for the full stack.
Clear pricing. No surprises.
