Things to know before installing
The app is free to download and use. While it provides a platform for connecting with customers, the contractual relationship and payment terms are handled directly between the professional and the client. Users should ensure they have the appropriate licences and insurance for the work they undertake.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay to view job requests?
Viewing posted requests is free. Some interactions, such as sending a quote, may involve a credit system managed within the app.
Can I verify my credentials?
Yes, the app offers an optional verification step where you can upload a trade licence or identification to enhance your profile.
How do I receive payments?
Payments are arranged directly with the customer. Bestimate Pro does not process transactions; you should discuss payment methods and terms with each client.
