THE PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Before your
first quote.

Which plan should I choose?

Core covers the quoting and invoicing loop for an owner working solo. Pro adds CRM, follow-ups and team invitations. Choose Ultimate when you want to schedule jobs, give technicians their own workspace, collect field evidence and request reviews after eligible visits.

What happens when I select a plan today?

Choose a plan to create your account. Your 7-day free trial starts right away, and secure checkout for that plan opens once your company is set up; you can also decide at the end of the trial. Try the whole product free for 7 days, no card. 30-day money-back on the first year. Cancel any time.

Is the displayed monthly equivalent a monthly charge?

No. Founding plans are annual subscriptions. The full annual total appears on each card; the approximate monthly equivalent helps you compare. Regular annual and month-to-month rates are shown separately.

Does the founding price increase to the regular price?

The founding price locks while the subscription stays continuous. The regular price is a comparison, not a second-year increase while your founding subscription remains continuous. Review the subscription terms before purchasing.

Do I pay for each technician?

The subscription is per company, not per seat. Core is for an individual owner. Pro and Ultimate support team invitations, while the installer job workspace is an Ultimate feature.

What happens after the trial?

The 7-day trial requires no card. When it ends, the account pauses until you choose a package; your records stay saved.

What is included in the text allowance?

The comparison shows each plan’s reminder-text allowance per rolling 30 days. Texting needs to be configured and messages are subject to customer eligibility. Trial accounts have their own allowance. Email and text follow-up options are available with Pro and Ultimate.

Can I import my existing customer list?

Import a customer CSV and review the preview before adding the records. You can export customers as CSV and download quote PDFs. Contact us if you need help preparing your file.

How accurate are photo measurements?

They are estimates based on the known reference you set on the photo. Review the measurement source and confidence, and verify dimensions on site before installation.

Does it work on my phone or iPad?

Use GlowBid in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Sending quotes, taking payments and syncing records require an internet connection.
