Question 1

How does QuoteScore (Quote Score) work?

Accepted Answer

QuoteScore (also called Quote Score) reads your quote (photo, PDF, or text) with AI, extracts the company name, line items, and prices, then compares each against our database of 14,000+ regional pricing benchmarks. You get a fairness score, red flags, and negotiation tips.

Question 2

Is my quote data safe?

Accepted Answer

Your uploaded file is permanently deleted the instant analysis completes. We only extract the contractor name, line items, and prices. We never see or store your name, home address, or phone number.

Question 3

What types of quotes can I check?

Accepted Answer

Any service quote across 28+ categories — auto repair, HVAC, roofing, plumbing, electrical, painting, flooring, landscaping, collision repair, commercial construction, and more.

Question 4

Is it really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 100% free — no premium tier, no hidden charges. We never sell your data.

Question 5

Can my contractor find out I used this?

Accepted Answer

No. We don't contact contractors, share results with anyone, or notify any parties. Your analysis is completely private.

Question 6

Is my contractor quote too high?

Accepted Answer

A quote is too high when specific lines sit above the normal range for that work in your area, not when the total feels big. The five things worth checking: a single lump sum with no breakdown, labor hours well above standard book time, materials marked up far past retail, vague fees like miscellaneous, shop supplies or job setup as a meaningful percentage of the total, and pressure to sign today. QuoteScore splits your quote into line items and compares each against the benchmark range for that item in your region, so you see which specific lines are high rather than a verdict on the whole number.

Question 7

How do I know if a contractor quote is fair?

Accepted Answer

Compare it line by line against what the work costs in your area. A $14,000 roof is not high or low on its own. It is high if the tear-off is billed at twice the regional labor rate, and it is fine if the number is driven by square footage and a steep pitch. QuoteScore scores every quote 0 to 100 on that comparison: 80-100 is at or below the market rate, 65-79 is a fair price with little room to negotiate, 50-64 is slightly high and worth one competing quote, 30-49 means specific lines are above market, and 0-29 is a red flag. Every score is shown with the benchmark range that produced it, so you can disagree with it.

Question 8

What is a contractor quote checker?

Accepted Answer

A contractor quote checker is a tool that tells you whether the price on a contractor's quote is fair before you sign it. You give it the quote you already received, and it compares the line items (labor, materials, parts, and fees) against what that work typically costs in your area. The point is to replace the traditional fix for an opaque price — collecting three competing bids over several weeks — with a check that takes about a minute on the quote already in your hand.
