Upload the quote you already have. Get a 0-100 fairness score, a line-by-line breakdown against real market pricing, and the red flags worth asking about, in about a minute.
Check My Quote Free →A contractor quote checker tells you whether the price on a quote is fair before you sign it. QuoteScore reads every line item on the quote you upload and benchmarks it against 14,000+ regional pricing benchmarks and the 3,287 real quotes people have already run through it. You get a 0-100 score and the benchmark range behind every line, so you can check the math instead of trusting a verdict. Free, no signup.
Pricing for home services is opaque by default: the contractor knows the market rate for the job and you usually don't. The traditional fix is to collect three competing bids, but that takes weeks of scheduling, and almost nobody does it for a repair under a few thousand dollars. So most quotes get signed with no idea whether the number is normal.
A quote checker compresses that comparison into the quote you already hold. Instead of sourcing new bids, it separates the quote into its parts and asks a narrower question of each one: is this line a normal price for this work in this 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.
That is also the limit worth being honest about. A quote checker is a pricing check. It cannot tell you whether the contractor does good work, whether the materials are the right grade, or whether the scope is correct for your house. Those still need references and, for big jobs, a second opinion on the scope itself.
Every uploaded quote is split into line items — parts, labor, materials, and fees — and each line is compared against the benchmark range for that item in your region. The score weighs how far each line sits outside its range, whether labor hours exceed industry-standard book times, and whether the quote contains structural red flags like an undifferentiated lump sum. Location is part of the math: the same dollar figure scores differently in San Francisco than in rural Tennessee.
What separates this from a chatbot answer is what the comparison runs against. Ask a general-purpose AI whether your quote is fair and it will produce a confident guess from no pricing data at all. Every score here is shown with the benchmark range that produced it, on every line, so you can disagree with it.
These are live aggregates from quotes people have actually run through the checker, not industry estimates. The average quote scores 57 out of 100. Categories are ranked worst-scoring first, and only categories with at least 5 analyzed quotes are shown.

"Complete roof replacement — $18,400" is not a quote, it is a number. Without line items there is nothing to compare and nothing to negotiate. Ask for the split between tear-off, materials, labor, and disposal before anything else.
Most trades have standard time estimates for standard jobs. Labor billed at double the book time for the task is the single most common way a quote inflates without any individual price looking wrong.
Some markup on materials is normal and fair. A fixture or unit billed at three times its shelf price is not, and it is the easiest line to push back on because you can look it up.
"Miscellaneous," "shop supplies," or "job setup" as a meaningful percentage of the total. Ask what each one covers. Legitimate versions of these fees are small and specific.
A discount that expires within the hour is a sales tactic, not a price. Real quotes hold for days. This one is not a pricing signal at all, but it correlates with the rest of this list.
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.
Yes. Uploading a quote and getting the full 0-100 score, the line-item breakdown, and the red flags is free, with no signup required to run a check. There is an optional $9 Negotiation Pack for people who want a scripted rebuttal to a specific quote, but the checker itself and its results are not paywalled.
Accuracy depends entirely on what the tool compares your quote against. Most quote checkers are a language model with no pricing data behind it, so they produce a confident-sounding guess. QuoteScore benchmarks each line item against 14,000+ regional pricing benchmarks and the real quotes users have already submitted, and it shows you the benchmark range for every line so you can check the reasoning rather than trust the verdict. It is a pricing check, not an inspection: it cannot judge workmanship, materials quality, or whether the scope of work is right for your house.

No. The check works on the numbers alone. If a company name is on the quote we will show you what we have seen from that company before, when we have seen them, but the score itself does not depend on it.
