The Only Bid Tool That Tells You What Materials Actually Cost Right Now.

Every competitor either has no AI bidding, or generates draft text without real cost data. FieldBolt connects AI estimation to live Home Depot / Lowe’s pricing — your bids reflect what materials cost today, not last year’s pricebook.

2–4 hrs → 60 seconds

AI Bid Estimation + Live Material Pricing

Describe the job in plain English. FieldBolt pulls live prices from Home Depot and Lowe's, builds the full material list, and returns a profit-optimized bid ready to send — in under 60 seconds. No competitor can say this.

$400–$800 recovered per bid

Bid Quality Auditor

Before you hit send, AI reviews every line item for missing permits, underpriced labor, and scope gaps that eat your profit. The #1 contractor fear is winning a bid and losing money. This fixes that. No competitor offers it.

Unique in market

Negotiation Coach

When a customer counters your price, contractors either fold or hold firm and lose the job. FieldBolt generates 3–4 counter-strategies with specific price points, scope trade-offs, and win-rate predictions. No competitor has this.

Why Contractors Are Switching to FieldBolt

Jobber and Housecall Pro were built before AI existed. ServiceTitan costs $2,500+/month and takes weeks to configure. FieldBolt delivers more AI for less money — and you’re live in under 10 minutes.

Flat Price — Everything Included

The #1 complaint across every competitor is cost inflation through add-ons. Jobber’s real cost for a 5-person team is $350–500/mo. FieldBolt’s Pro plan covers 3 users with all AI features for $129/mo. No “AI add-on.” No per-user surprises.

10 users: $199/mo vs. $500–2,500/mo elsewhere

Real Cost as Your Shop Grows

Jobber reflects per-user pricing + typical add-ons. ServiceTitan is $250–500/technician/month.

FieldBolt is the Right Move If You’re:

A Jobber user frustrated by weak reporting and no real AI estimating
A Housecall Pro user leaving due to add-on cost creep
Still on spreadsheets or Invoice2go, ready to run a real operation
A former ServiceTitan user who found it too expensive or complex
