I've been using Estimate since it was released to the general public and all I can say is that I love it!!! I found the set up fairly straight forward and with in about an hour I could already see that my profits would be going up. I used to pretty much price jobs off of the top of my head but sometimes I took it in the shorts! Now my pricing is consistent day in and day out. Well worth the money!
