The best fence contractor software keeps all four on separate lines.<\/li>\n<li>Fence erectors, the occupation the federal wage data measures for this trade, numbered 24,480 nationally at a median $23.07 an hour in the current Bureau of Labor Statistics panel.<\/li>\n<li>Only one tool on this list draws the fence line and measures it as you draw. That is ArcSite, from $10 a month on annual billing to sketch and measure, and $99 a month on annual once you want the material takeoff behind the post count.<\/li>\n<li>SimplyWise Cost Estimator turns a photo of the run into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds, with material quantities, at $29.99\/mo.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"pm__tldr-cta\"><span>Quote the run before you pull off the property.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SimplyWise Cost Estimator<\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h2 id=\"what-it-carries\">What the best fence contractor software has to carry<\/h2>\n<p>Fence is not a square foot trade. It is a line trade. The estimate runs along a boundary, and everything expensive happens where that line changes: a corner, an end, a gate, a drop in grade. Field service software prices a visit. Fence work prices a run. So the best fence contractor software gets judged on one question. Can it carry linear feet, post counts, gate units and grade as four separate editable lines?<\/p>\n<h3>Linear feet and post spacing are the unit, not square footage<\/h3>\n<p>Every fence bid starts from a measured run. That run becomes a post count the moment you pick your spacing, and most residential wood work sets line posts at six or eight foot centers. The post count drives concrete, digging time and the labor line. A tool that holds only a flat quantity of &#8220;fence&#8221; cannot show a homeowner why a 180 foot run with four corners costs more than a straight one. No per post unit price beside the per foot price, no fence software.<\/p>\n<h3>Gates are priced units, and they are never footage<\/h3>\n<p>A four foot walk gate and a twelve foot double drive gate are two products, two sets of hardware and two very different amounts of labor. Neither one is just more fence. Gate posts also get set deeper and in more concrete than line posts. Any fence quoting software worth paying for adds a gate as its own line item with its own hardware and quantity, so a second gate at the walkthrough is a one line change rather than a rebuilt quote.<\/p>\n<h3>Measurement off a site plan or an aerial beats a wheel and a guess<\/h3>\n<p>The fastest money in this trade is the quote you produce without a second trip. Good fence estimate software either measures off a site plan, a plat or an aerial, or it takes a photo and returns the itemized lines for you. Either way the footage, the corners and the gate openings land in the estimate while you are still in the driveway. That is where fence bidding software separates from general field service software, which assumes somebody already did the measuring.<\/p>\n<h3>The wage floor under a fence crew hour is public, and worth knowing<\/h3>\n<p>Fence installation has its own occupation in the federal wage data: fence erectors. That occupation covered 24,480 jobs nationally, at a median $23.07 an hour and a mean $24.29 an hour, in the current Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics panel. Median annual pay was $47,980. Treat that as a floor for a seat, not your billable crew hour, which also carries burden, the truck, the auger, the trailer and drive time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pm__inline-cta\">Itemized lines you can edit, one photo. <a href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Price a fence line item from a photo<\/a> in about 6 seconds, then edit before you send. Free to try.<\/p>\n<h2>A worked wood privacy fence quote<\/h2>\n<p>Take one real job: about 180 linear feet of six foot cedar privacy fence with four corners, one four foot walk gate, one twelve foot double drive gate, and roughly three feet of fall across the back run. Build the quote in this order. Treat it as the shape of the estimate, not as prices for your market.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"pm__steps\">\n<li>\n<h3>Measure the run and mark every corner, end and gate before you price anything<\/h3>\n<p>First, walk the line and write down the footage between each change of direction, not just the total. Mark the corners, the terminal ends and both gate openings on one sketch. A single 180 foot number hides the four corners that cost you the most labor, and it is the number a competitor undercuts without doing the same work.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Set your post spacing, then count line, corner, end and gate posts separately<\/h3>\n<p>Next, pick the spacing and let it produce the count. At eight foot centers a 180 foot run wants roughly 24 posts before you add anything, and corners, ends and gate posts get set deeper with more concrete. Put the post count on its own line at its own unit price. When the homeowner moves the gate, you change a quantity instead of rewriting the total.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Price each gate as a unit with its own hardware and its own labor<\/h3>\n<p>Then give the walk gate and the double drive gate their own lines. Hinges, latch, drop rod, cane bolt and the heavier gate posts belong to the gate, not the fence footage. A drive gate wide enough for a truck and trailer is a fabrication job inside a fence job, and burying it in the per foot rate is how fence contractors lose money on the one line the client inspects.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Price crew hours against a published wage floor, then load it<\/h3>\n<p>After that, build the labor line from hours, not from a feeling. Fence erectors earned a median $23.07 an hour in the current federal wage panel, which is the seat cost inside your crew rate. Load it with burden, the truck, the auger and drive time, and keep digging, setting and hanging as visible steps so a hard dig is a quantity you can point at later.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Book the 811 locate and check the permit before you promise a start date<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, contact your state 811 center before any digging. The call is free and runs nationally, but the notice period takes a few business days, and that is schedule rather than a fee you invoice. Put the locate and any fence permit or HOA approval on the estimate as scheduled steps, or the client counts your start date from the day they signed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Price the grade, the haul off and the terms, then split deposit and balance<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, three feet of fall means stepped panels or racked panels, and the two cost different money. Name which one you are bidding. Add the teardown, the disposal load and any concrete spoil as their own lines. Then state the terms: a deposit covering material at signing, the balance on completion. Fence material gets bought up front, and a quote that does not say so funds the job out of your pocket.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"pm__callout\">\n<p><strong>What no app fixes.<\/strong> If your price book still quotes fence as one round dollar figure per foot with gates thrown in, faster software just produces the wrong round number faster. Split footage, posts, gates, grade and teardown into lines first, then go shopping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The 12 best fence contractor software picks, ranked<\/h2>\n<p>Ranked on how well each tool holds a fence bid as linear feet, post counts, gate units and grade, with cost to run as the second axis. Every vendor rate below was read on the company&#8217;s own pricing page on September 14, 2026. Where a vendor publishes no rate, this list says so plainly rather than guessing.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"pm__steps\">\n<li>\n<h3>SimplyWise Cost Estimator<\/h3>\n<p>Best overall for a fence and gate contractor quoting from the driveway, and our pick for the best fence contractor software. Photograph the run, the corner or the gate opening. The app returns an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds, with material quantities, so posts, panels, gates and hardware stay separate lines you can edit before the homeowner sees them. You can also describe the job by voice from the truck, or upload existing plans. Then the client signs a professional, branded quote to approve it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> $29.99\/mo or $239.99\/yr, which is about $20\/mo on annual, with a 7-day free trial. One subscription also opens the rest of the SimplyWise suite: receipt scanning for lumber and concrete runs, mileage tracking between jobs, and the Receptionist app for the calls you miss while setting posts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>ArcSite<\/h3>\n<p>Best drawing and takeoff tool for a contractor who wants the footage counted as the fence line is drawn. ArcSite draws the run on a tablet over a site plan or an aerial and measures the line as you go, and on its takeoff and estimate tiers it turns that drawing into a material list and a branded proposal. Fence is one of its named markets, and it is the closest thing here to fence native takeoff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> Draw Basic is $14.99 a month month to month, or $10 a month on annual billing, and it draws and measures only. Draw Pro is $34.99 or $30. Automated material takeoff starts on Takeoff at $119.99 or $99, and branded proposals start on Estimates at $159.99 or $129. A 14-day trial is offered on the Draw tiers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Jobber<\/h3>\n<p>Best scheduling and dispatch once the fence company outgrows one truck. Jobber carries quoting, booking, routing, invoicing, client texting and payments in one record, which is what a shop running two install crews and a repair van fights with. There is no takeoff and no linear foot math, so measuring still happens first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> On annual billing the ladder is Core $29, Connect $99 and Grow $149, each a monthly rate, against Core $49, Connect $139 and Grow $199 month to month. Add ons are priced on the same page: Marketing Suite $99, Receptionist $29 and Sales Pipeline $49. The trial needs no credit card.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Housecall Pro<\/h3>\n<p>Best for a fence company whose second business is gate service and repair calls. Housecall Pro is built around the booked job: online booking, dispatch, a price book and card payment taken in the yard. Gate operators, hinge failures and storm damage behave like service work, and that half of a fence business runs well here. Estimating is line item, with no takeoff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> On annual billing Basic is $59 a month, Essentials $149 and Max $299, against $79, $189 and $329 month to month. Basic carries one user, Essentials five and Max eight. A 14-day free trial is offered.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Knowify<\/h3>\n<p>Best job costing for a fence contractor bidding commercial, school district and property manager work. Knowify runs contract jobs, change orders, progress billing and job costing against a budget, which is the paperwork a 4,000 foot chain link job arrives wrapped in. It also handles AIA style billing, which field service tools do not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> Core is $99 a month on yearly billing or $149 month to month. Advanced is $329 a month yearly or $399 month to month. Enterprise is quoted. An equipment tracking add on runs $25 a month per vehicle yearly or $35 month to month.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>JobTread<\/h3>\n<p>Best once the fence business has someone in the office running bids against a budget. JobTread carries estimating, scheduling, purchase orders, selections and job costing on one record. A company ordering posts, panels, concrete and gate hardware across six jobs sees the margin on each one move as material invoices land.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> $199 a month flat month to month, or $159 on annual billing, with the first internal user included. Additional internal users are $20 a month, or $16 on annual. Price breaks step down at 11, 21 and 31 users.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Contractor Foreman<\/h3>\n<p>Best breadth for the money once a fence company runs crews and subcontractors. It covers estimating, scheduling, time cards, daily logs, purchase orders, safety and punch lists, and prices in user bands rather than per seat. There is no fence takeoff, so measurement stays its own step.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> On annual billing the rates are Basic $49, Standard $105, Plus $166, Pro $221 and Unlimited $332, each a monthly figure. The Basic plan renews at $588 a year. A 30-day free trial runs on every plan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Leap<\/h3>\n<p>Best in home selling system for a fence company that closes at the kitchen table. Leap wraps the estimate, the contract, the signature and a financing offer into one tablet packet, which is the shape of a residential fence sale where the homeowner decides while you are still sitting there. It is a sales platform first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> The single user entry plan starts at $79 a month. The multi project plan starts at $298 a month including the first user, with additional users $99 a month. The next tier starts at $750 a month, and Enterprise pricing comes after a demo.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Markate<\/h3>\n<p>Best low base rate for a solo fence operator who adds seats one at a time. Markate bundles a CRM, estimates, scheduling, invoicing, online booking and marketing on a low base rate, then adds employees at a flat per head price rather than pushing you up a tier, which keeps a two or three person outfit cheap without losing anyone off the schedule.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> $49.95 a month on monthly billing. Annual billing takes 20 percent off and works out to $39.95 a month, billed once a year at $479.40, and the company notes that add on features go on the same annual cycle.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Contractor+<\/h3>\n<p>Best free starting point for a brand new fence business. The Freedom tier is free forever and carries a basic client list with a monthly cap on estimates and invoices. That is enough to learn whether a typed, itemized fence quote wins more work than a handwritten one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> Freedom is $0 and free forever. On annual billing Pro is $29 a month for one user, Pro Team $58 with the first two users included, and Max $500 for unlimited users, against $49, $98 and $597 month to month.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Joist<\/h3>\n<p>Best phone only quoting app for an owner operator who writes the fence quote in the truck. Joist does line items, an estimate, an invoice and a signature, and deliberately little else. There is no takeoff, so your footage still comes off a measuring wheel. Work orders sit on Pro and change orders on Elite, which matters on a trade where the second gate gets added at the walkthrough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> Basics is $10 a month month to month or $8.34 a month on annual, with a five document monthly cap. Pro is $17 or $14.17, Elite is $32 or $26.67, and Run is $70 or $58.33 under an introductory 30 percent off badge. A 14-day free trial runs with no credit card.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>FieldPulse<\/h3>\n<p>Best fit for a fence company carrying a gate service and maintenance book alongside installs. FieldPulse covers scheduling, dispatch, inventory, asset management, custom forms and a customer portal, and leans harder into recurring maintenance agreements than most of this list. Automatic gate operators are the fence trade&#8217;s service annuity, and that work lives comfortably here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing.<\/strong> No rate is published. The pricing page states that pricing is built around what your team needs and routes to a custom quote in one conversation, so you cannot shortlist it on price.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How the best fence contractor software compares<\/h2>\n<table class=\"pm__table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>App<\/th>\n<th>Best for<\/th>\n<th>Measures the fence line<\/th>\n<th>Starting price, read 2026-09-14<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>SimplyWise Cost Estimator<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Quoting the run from the driveway<\/td>\n<td>Itemizes the job from a photo<\/td>\n<td>$29.99\/mo, 7-day trial<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>ArcSite<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Drawing the fence line and counting it<\/td>\n<td>Yes, footage as you draw<\/td>\n<td>$10 a month on annual to draw, $99 for takeoff<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Jobber<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Two crews and a repair van<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>$29 a month on annual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Housecall Pro<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Gate service and repair calls<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>$59 a month on annual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Knowify<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Commercial and property manager jobs<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>$99 a month on yearly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>JobTread<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Office staff running bids to budget<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>$159 a month flat on annual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Contractor Foreman<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Crews, subs and daily logs<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>$49 a month on annual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Leap<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Closing at the kitchen table<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>$79 a month<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Markate<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Solo operator adding seats one at a time<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>$39.95 a month on annual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Contractor+<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Brand new fence business<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>Free tier, then $29 a month on annual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Joist<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Owner operator quoting in the truck<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>$8.34 a month on annual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>FieldPulse<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Gate maintenance agreements<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>No published rate<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"pm__promo\">\n<h2>Price the fence run before you leave the driveway<\/h2>\n<p>SimplyWise Cost Estimator turns a photo of the run into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds, with material quantities.

Fence fit carried 30 percent, and that asks one narrow question: can the tool hold linear feet, post counts, gate units and grade as separate editable lines? Speed to an itemized number took 25 percent, because a contractor who quotes in the driveway beats the one quoting at 9pm. Price transparency took 20 percent, mobile usability 15 percent, and breadth of job management the last 10 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Price transparency is unusually good here. Eleven of the twelve publish a usable rate on their own site, and only FieldPulse routes everything to a custom quote. What is scarce is measurement. Exactly one tool, ArcSite, draws the fence line and counts footage and posts as you draw, which is why it places second despite costing more than tools that do more paperwork. The rest of this fencing software market assumes the measuring already happened somewhere else. We scored SimplyWise Cost Estimator on the same rubric: top marks on speed to an itemized number, price transparency and mobile usability, conceding the drawn takeoff criterion to ArcSite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pm__inline-cta\">Try it on the next run you walk. <a href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Price a fence job from a photo<\/a>, then compare the lines to your last handwritten quote.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pm__next\">\n<h2>Keep reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplywise.com\/blog\/fence-cost-calculator\/\">Fence Cost Calculator<\/a>: run the numbers on a job by material, height and footage before you write the quote.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplywise.com\/blog\/fencing-estimate-template\/\">Fencing Estimate Template<\/a>: the line structure this article argues for, as a template you can fill in today.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplywise.com\/blog\/siding-and-fence-pricing-guide\/\">Siding and Fence Pricing Guide<\/a>: what the exterior trades are charging, and how to price against it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pm__sources\">\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"font:700 11.5px Inter;letter-spacing:.1em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#9ca3af;margin:8px 0 6px;\">SimplyWise and the fence labor floor<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplywise.com\/blog\/pricing\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SimplyWise Cost Estimator pricing<\/a> ($29.99\/mo, $239.99\/yr, 7-day free trial, full feature set on every plan, one subscription across the suite.

It turns a photo of the run into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds, with material quantities. Do you bid large runs off a plat or an aerial instead? Then pair it with a drawing and takeoff tool such as ArcSite, which draws and measures the fence line from $10 a month on annual billing, with automated material takeoff on its $99 a month annual tier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What should fence estimate software do that general field service software does not?<\/summary>\n<div>\n<p>Three things. It should carry a linear foot unit price beside a per post unit price, because your post count is set by spacing and by how many corners the yard has. It should let a gate be its own line item with its own hardware and quantity. And it should produce the number while you are still on the property. Most field service platforms do the scheduling and invoicing well and assume the measuring already happened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<h3>Pricing a fence job<\/h3>\n<details>\n<summary>How do you bid a fence job by the linear foot without losing money?<\/summary>\n<div>\n<p>Measure between each change of direction rather than writing one total. Turn your post spacing into a post count and price line, corner, end and gate posts separately. Give every gate its own line with its own hardware. Name whether you are stepping or racking the panels on a slope, and put teardown and disposal on their own lines. Good fence bidding software keeps those visible, so a walkthrough change is a quantity edit rather than a new quote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What does a fence crew hour cost?<\/summary>\n<div>\n<p>Fence installation has its own occupation in the federal wage data: fence erectors. That occupation covered 24,480 jobs nationally at a median $23.07 an hour and a mean $24.29 an hour in the current Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics panel, with median annual pay of $47,980. That is a wage floor for a seat, not your billable crew hour, which also carries burden, the truck, the auger, the trailer and drive time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What does SimplyWise Cost Estimator cost for a fence business?<\/summary>\n<div>\n<p>It is $29.99\/mo, or $239.99\/yr, which comes to about $20\/mo on annual billing. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial and carries the full feature set.
