Estima
Estima is an all-in-one CRM for landscape and hardscape professionals, covering estimates, proposals, scheduling, invoicing, and QuickBooks Online synchronization. Service-specific estimate builders provide editable labor grids, material catalogs, and templates for landscape, hardscape, irrigation, lighting, snow, and lawn care. Satellite mapping calculates square footage and linear feet for estimates. Hardscape projects include Kanban boards, Gantt charts, tasks, and schedule dates. Branded proposals can be accepted and signed online. Billing supports recurring charges, merged invoices, deposits, milestone payments, change orders, late fees, and account credits. Every plan includes two-way QuickBooks Online sync for invoices and payments. The browser-installed Estima Crew app shows routes and jobs and works offline. Packages include unlimited estimates, proposals, and clients, plus Estima Crew, Website Leads, and Site Media. Plans range from Maintenance at $200 a month to Complete at $395 a month, with separate add-ons and limits.
