Its AI assistant generates painting quotes from project requirements, while the quote calculator covers all surfaces. Contractors can create quotes on site and send them by email or text. The estimator calculates paint quantities from surface area, coverage rates, and number of coats, and provides paint brand and product pricing data. Customer management and analytics cover quote conversion, win/loss rates, and profitability. The listed feature set also includes estimate building, proposal signatures, job scheduling, crew management, material cost tracking, invoicing, and payments. Paid features include custom branding, branded PDF export, and a color visualizer. Integrations include Stripe and email through Resend; QuickBooks and Square are available in the featured integrations section. The free option provides two professional quotes as a one-time allowance, not recurring free quotes or an expiring 14-day trial. Starter costs $239.99 a year ($20/mo billed yearly) and includes five quotes per month; Unlimited costs $69.99 a month.

PaintWiser brings estimating, booking, invoicing and customer follow-up tools together for painting contractors. For interior jobs, it uses room measurements and a contractor’s own rates, paint systems and target margin to calculate surface area, labor hours, paint gallons and job prices. Exterior estimates use area entered from a map measurement, linear feet for eaves and trim, and counts of doors and windows. Contractors can send branded PDF quotes with optional add-ons for approval online, then turn approved estimates into invoices and track deposits and partial payments against the job balance. A pipeline links customers, properties, quotes, jobs and invoices, records lead sources and supplies follow-up reminders. Customers can book available estimate slots through a branded link, with a code confirming each booking before it becomes a lead. The free plan allows 20 quotes per month; Solo is $19/mo and Crew is $49/mo. The app works on Android, iOS and the web, and supports offline updates after opening the app.
