The honest catches
What to know before you start
- No change orders yet. Duplicate the estimate, edit it and resend it.
- The web version has limits. It only creates and edits estimates. Full features are on the phone and tablet.
- LiDAR room scan needs a Pro iPhone. Other phones skip it.
- It is paid after the trial. After 7 days it costs $29.99 a month or $239.99 a year, with nothing free past the trial.
SimplyWise Cost Estimator reviews raise some of the same points. Of the 70 low-star written reviews (3 stars or fewer) in our sample, 7 named the paywall at signup. 5 said the trial billing surprised them. 5 said big or complex jobs came out weaker.
“you literally can not do anything within the app without paying for a subscription first.”
App Store review by E.R.Nelson, 3 stars, May 28, 2026.
Our read: use the 7-day trial on one real job. Check every line item before you send it.
Who it fits
It fits solo contractors and small crews who bid from the job site. Anyone who wants the estimate, invoice and work order in one app fits too. It is a poor fit if you need change orders today, or if you plan to work mostly from a browser. When you are ready, start the 7-day free trial on a real job.
What it costs
SimplyWise Cost Estimator costs $29.99 a month or $239.99 a year, about $20 a month on annual billing. The 7-day free trial comes first. Every feature is included, with no feature tiers. See the SimplyWise pricing page for the details.
Judge it on your own job
