How it works

Plans to paid, in three moves.

01

Price the job

Plans in. Estimate out. You review every line.

02

Win the work

Send the proposal. Client signs. Schedule's set.

03

Bill it your way

Fee draws, milestones, or cost pass-through. On schedule.

Built in

Guarantees, not promises.

Every dollar accounted for

A payment can't exceed the bill. A draw can't exceed the contract.

One budget per job

Never three spreadsheets claiming to be the truth.

Your numbers stay private

Clients and subs see only what you choose.

Good to know

Common questions

Is my project data secure?

Yes. Every record is locked to your company, and clients or subs see only what you choose to share. Signature links are private and tracked.

Does it work the way I bill?

Yes, and it's set per job. Fixed price, cost-plus a percentage, a flat management fee drawn monthly, or time and materials with a not-to-exceed. You also choose whether sub bills come to you or go straight to the homeowner, and how much of the cost detail your client can see.

How is this different from spreadsheets and QuickBooks?

Spreadsheets lose the link between the estimate, the bills, and what you've invoiced. VantageBid keeps one record. Change a number once and everything downstream updates.

What does it cost?

Plans start at $49 a month. Basic is $49/mo, Professional $149/mo, and Personal Agent $499/mo, each with a yearly option that saves about 15%. Every account starts with a 30-day free trial, no card required. The Pricing page has the full breakdown.

Do my clients need to install anything?

No. You send an invite, they set a password, and the project opens in their browser, with proposals to sign, invoices, and selections. You control what they see.

Stop running the job out of a spreadsheet and your inbox.

Start with a plan set. We'll turn it into an estimate, a proposal, and a live budget your client can follow.
