247PRO vs Easy Bidding Online Planroom

247PRO is a web-based platform for contractor project management and construction estimating. Its estimator uses templates and guided questions to produce cost estimates and proposals; the library includes more than 20 construction and remodeling templates with material and labor information. Clients can review emailed proposals and sign them online. The CRM tracks leads, job opportunities, vendors, clients, and contacts, with pipeline tracking and team collaboration. Invoice tools include payment tracking, past-due reminders, digital signing, PDF downloads, and conversion from estimates. Invoices and payments can sync one way to QuickBooks, with invoices associated with project names. The platform also supports two-way SMS and MMS in a shared business inbox and lists Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar integrations. The free Starter plan allows one user, two proposals and two invoices per month, and 10M storage. Paid plans start at $34.30/mo (annual); a 14-day trial is available without a credit card. The pricing page says training and one-on-one coaching are free.

Easy Bidding Online Planroom is a paid web service offering a customised, fully managed planroom for construction businesses. It uses the business’s branding and supports public or private projects, with project-key access for private work. Users can upload project files, send bid invitations by email or fax, choose recipients by trade, group and location, and receive real-time activity and bid-response reporting. The service tracks planholders and manages invitations to bid. Project documents can be viewed in a browser, with downloads available on some projects. Update notifications and an upcoming-project calendar support project visibility. Calendar events can be added to Google Calendar or Outlook, or shared through an iCal URL. Print ordering and file uploads for printing are available. The cloud service is described as accessible anytime and anywhere. Sealed bidding keeps bids closed until the deadline, with retraction or resubmission allowed before then. Pricing is available on request.
