3. The price is published: $29.99 a month, or $239.99 a year (about $20/mo on annual), with a 7-day free trial.

## SimplyWise vs Procore in one read

The question is simple: how fast can you send a price? It is built for that moment. You shoot the job, review the itemized estimate, and send the quote from your phone.
