SimplyWise brings photo estimating, LiDAR room scans, image renders, approvals, and invoices to the contractor’s phone. Estimado centers a homeowner-or-sales-team capture that carries measured geometry and the approved visual scope into the sales workflow.
A mobile estimating app that creates line-item estimates from photos and descriptions, supports LiDAR room scans on compatible iPhones, produces image renders, collects client approvals, and creates invoices.
Estimado AIA LiDAR scan measures the room, captures pictures, creates measured 2D and 3D outputs, visualizes the remodel, and carries the approved scope into your pricing and sales flow.
SimplyWise is a strong contractor-operated mobile estimating app. Estimado is built around a measured capture that can begin with the homeowner and continue through the remodeling sales conversation.
The meaningful distinction is not whether either tool estimates or renders. It is who can operate the capture and how tightly the measured space stays connected to the scope and close.
SimplyWise compresses the contractor’s field-estimating work. Its current public materials do not describe a homeowner-operated room-capture link.
The same spatial capture can qualify the lead remotely or become the visual sales presentation on site.
Estimado gives remodeling contractors two ways to use the same measured capture, depending on the job and the homeowner.
A lead comes in. You text one link. The homeowner scans the room and describes the remodel from their phone. Measurements, photos, a 3D model, a 2D plan, and the visual scope arrive in your dashboard.
Build and send the estimate from your office. Automatic follow-up takes it from there.
Best for high-volume lead flow
A sales associate meets the homeowner at the property and runs the full capture from a phone or tablet. The LiDAR scan measures the space while Estimado captures photos and creates the measured 2D plan and 3D model.
Together, they tell the AI what the homeowner wants, generate and refine the proposed-remodel render, then review a preliminary estimate using your company pricing—all before the visit ends.
Existing kitchenProposed remodelThe strategic difference is choice: qualify a homeowner remotely before you spend drive time, or scan on site and make the visualization part of the sales conversation. SimplyWise’s public workflow centers the contractor-operated app. Among the current public workflows reviewed for these comparisons, we did not find another product connecting measured capture, 2D and 3D outputs, homeowner-guided rendering, and preliminary pricing in one on-site sales session.

Both products can shorten estimating work. Choose based on whether the process begins with the contractor’s app—or can begin with the homeowner’s measured capture.
SimplyWise fits solo contractors and small crews who want to create, edit, approve, and invoice from a phone.
Estimado is designed for remodelers who want to reduce unnecessary site visits, visualize the proposed work, price it their way, and move faster toward the sale.
Yes. SimplyWise publicly documents Room Scan using LiDAR measurements on supported Pro iPhones. The comparison is not “LiDAR versus no LiDAR”; it is the capture operator, the connected spatial outputs, and the downstream workflow.
Yes. Its current documentation includes Image Renders, client estimate approval, invoice creation from an estimate, and Stripe payment support.
Estimado can send the homeowner a capture link. SimplyWise’s current public documentation centers the contractor-operated mobile app; we did not find a homeowner room-capture link.
SimplyWise accelerates a contractor’s field estimate. Estimado can begin with homeowner capture, return connected measured 2D and 3D outputs, and carry the visual scope into pricing and follow-up.
Yes. Estimado configures a Pricing Profile around labor, materials, markup, and estimating rules during onboarding.
Yes. A sales associate can scan the home, capture photos, generate measured 2D and 3D outputs, talk with the homeowner and AI about the desired remodel, generate and refine the render, and present a preliminary estimate using the company’s Pricing Profile during the same visit.
Let the homeowner scan before you drive—or scan with them on site. Measurements, visual scope, pricing, follow-up, and invoicing stay connected.
