Free to estimate. One upgrade, in the app.
For the owner-operator and the one-person shop. Scope a job, build a real budget, save it to the cloud and send your client a PDF — at no charge. Pro is $19.99 a month, bought in the app, when you want your client to do more than read.
Stop wasting time on proposals.
Scope a job and build a real budget on site — rooms, systems, good-better-best, your own products and pricing. Create a free account and your estimates are saved to the cloud. It works offline, and it keeps working whether you ever buy anything or not.
The app, and Pro
That is the whole decision. There is no plan to choose, no seats to count and no contract — and Pro is bought inside the app, on the store account you already use.
In-app purchase · USD. Your store shows your own currency.
Estimating costs you nothing. Selling costs less than lunch.
Proposal and estimating software is almost always sold per user, per month, before you have added a single salesperson. Qualifier does not: scoping a job and pricing it is free, for as long as you want to use it. Pro is $19.99 a month, or $199.99 a year — the same as paying for ten months.

Is BlueDog Qualifier V3 really free, or is it a trial?
It is free, permanently, and it is the complete estimating app — not a trial, a demo, or a limited edition. Scope a job room by room, set allowances, build a good-better-best budget, use your own products, pricing and margins, and put your logo on the estimate.
Create a free account and your estimates are saved to the cloud, still at no charge. There is no card and no subscription. If you never buy anything, nothing switches off.
You can save a PDF and email it to your client from your own mail app, free. Pro, an in-app purchase, adds two things: BlueDog Intelligence for assisted capture, and the estimate as a web version your client opens in a browser — their feedback and questions come back on it, they can approve it, and you can attach a payment link on your own Stripe account.
Does it work with no signal?
Yes. Capture, pricing and estimate building all work with no connection at all — basements, new construction, rural sites. Everything you did saves up to your account on its own once you are back in range.
Can I use my own products and pricing?
Yes, and they stay yours — in the free app, with nothing to buy. Your products, your allowances, your margins.
BlueDog Data, our catalog of 19,000+ AV products, is a different thing: it comes with the Teams edition for organizations, and it is an accelerator rather than a requirement. A solo integrator builds complete estimates from their own pricing and never needs it.
Where do I get the app?
It is out now — search for BlueDog Qualifier in the App Store or on Google Play, or use the download buttons on our home page. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, and it costs nothing.
If you have salespeople, the Teams edition gives everyone a shared company catalog, the BlueDog Data product catalog, roles and team management, and one bill. It is sold to professional organizations, starting at three users.
