Start with Pro: $59 a month.

You walk a renovation job with your phone (photos, a voice note, room sizes). Scopewright turns that into an itemized estimate priced from your own rates, flags anything it's unsure about, and lets you send a branded proposal your client can accept online.

Your first estimate is free with no card. When you want more, you get 7 days free: you add a card with Stripe then, and you won't be charged until day 8 (then Pro's monthly price in your currency, shown on the pricing page, or get 2 months free yearly). We email you 2 days before the first charge, and you can cancel in one click on the Billing page before then and pay nothing. One free trial per company. Close and Close Plus work the same way.

No. On your first day you can load clearly-labelled example prices in one click and draft a real estimate straight away. Replace them with your own rates when you're ready; until then, every proposal that uses them says so.

No. The AI (or, without an AI key, the built-in rules) only proposes line items and quantities from your photos, voice note and measurements. Every dollar comes from your own price book: material cost × waste factor plus labour hours × your rate, then your markup, contingency and your tax rate (5% GST by default for the Alberta starter; set GST/HST, VAT or US sales tax in settings).

Treat every estimate as a first draft. Scopewright shows how each quantity was derived, lists its assumptions, and flags low-confidence lines (guessed partition lengths, hidden rough-in, moisture, HVAC capacity). You can't create a client link until you've ticked every flagged line as reviewed.

Never. Nothing is emailed. A client link only exists after you click “Create client link” and confirm you've reviewed the estimate. You send the link yourself, and you can disable it at any time.

No. New accounts start with a starter list of basement and bathroom items (the Alberta starter list today) with the rates left blank for you to fill in. You can optionally load placeholder example numbers to try the app — they're stamped “Placeholder” everywhere and a proposal that still uses them says so in red.

Permit fees are separate pass-through lines that you fill in with your municipality's actual fees. Two Alberta examples: the City of Edmonton requires permits to finish a basement (most projects need a development permit and a building permit, plus separate trade permits), and the City of Calgary requires a building permit to develop a basement for the first time, plus separate electrical and plumbing permits.

Scopewright is built in Calgary and works for renovation contractors anywhere: your price book, labour rates and tax rate are your own. It's tuned for basement development and bathroom renovations, and an Alberta starter price book is available as one starting option. You can add your own price-book items for any other trade or region.

Sign in, open “Account” in the menu, press “Cancel subscription” and confirm. It takes about a minute, with no phone call or form. Can't sign in? Go to scopewright.aoapps.io/cancel and we'll email you a one-time link that opens your Billing page.
