Bid4Build vs Planning Poker Online

Bid4Build, offered through Estimator360, is cloud-based construction estimating and management software for builders. Its digital takeoff tool measures blueprints and uses those measurements to create estimate details. Estimating tools include detailed material lists, customizable assemblies, dynamic estimating, and more than 70 project templates. Estimates can generate proposals, contracts, and project schedules, and the product includes change orders. Suppliers and subcontractors can submit bids online that flow into estimates. Listed integrations are Hover, QuickBooks, and Insight by DBE; the maker says QuickBooks Online pushes data to QuickBooks to eliminate double entry. Its mobile app supports crew time tracking, project progress updates, and annotated job-site photos. The maker identifies home builders, residential remodelers, light commercial contractors, lumberyards, and modular builders as audiences. One Simple Plan costs $200 a month per location, with unlimited projects, estimates, clients, suppliers, subcontractors, team members, and estimators. Other listed options include PRO at $339 a month, PRO PLUS at $609 a month, and a Monthly Plan at $449 a month for the first estimator, plus 99 USD for each additional estimator. Enterprise prices are by quote. Google Play reports the app may collect location data, encrypts data in transit, and does not share data with third parties, based on developer disclosures.

Planning Poker Online is a browser-based story point estimation tool for sprint planning. Teams can vote in real time or asynchronously and reveal results later; the revealed table shows vote spread, average, and an agreement score. Built-in card decks include Fibonacci, modified Fibonacci, powers of two, T-shirt sizes, and estimates in hours, days, or weeks, and teams can create custom decks. Players join with a display name and need no account, though the game creator does. The free plan allows 9 votings and 5 voted issues per game, with unlimited players and permanent game URLs. The web app supports CSV issue import and export, and importing issues from pasted URLs. It connects to Linear through OAuth to import issues and write estimates back. Jira is handled by a separate Jira Cloud plugin, free for Jira sites with up to 10 users; the web app itself does not connect to Jira. Premium costs $30 a month per facilitator, or 300 USD billed yearly, and includes a 15-day trial. The product was founded in 2020 and is provided by WE AGILE YOU, S.L., based in La Canya, Girona, Spain.
