About

A smaller tool for a costly decision.

CraftBid helps independent contractors turn known costs into a clear price and check the margin before the quote leaves the screen.

Why CraftBid exists

Many field-service platforms bundle estimating with scheduling, payments, CRM, dispatch, and accounting. Those systems can be valuable, but a contractor should be able to test a price and create a professional document without onboarding an entire business.

Local-first by default

The first version saves estimate data in your browser. No account, upload, database, ad network, payment processor, or AI pricing API is required. You decide when to export a PDF, CSV, or JSON backup.

What it is not

CraftBid does not supply market prices, certify quantities, calculate statutory payroll obligations, or replace accounting, tax, engineering, or legal advice. Professional judgment and current local information remain essential.
