If you have already watched the demo and still have questions, you can schedule a personalized session with our team. We’ll help assess your workflow and walk you through how BidBow can support it. No pressure. No pushy sales. Just straight answers.

Yes. Every plan comes with a 7-day free trial. You can cancel anytime directly in the app — no emails, no forms, no hoops.

They are our new AI-powered features.

QuoteMatch AI automatically matches subcontractor quotes to estimate items and supplier quotes to resources, even when the wording differs or formatting is inconsistent. It’s designed to save you time, reduce manual matching, and help you avoid time-consuming data entry.

AutoEstimate AI takes reusability to the next level. Instead of manually digging through past estimates, it scans your history, finds the closest matches, and presents them in order of confidence. You can review, select, and adjust as needed, dramatically speeding up your estimating process while keeping control and accuracy.

Both features are currently in preview, which means we’re refining them based on real-world use. All BidBow clients get access at no extra cost during this phase, helping us gather feedback across a variety of projects and workflows.

It is a 2-hour live session with a BidBow specialist designed to help you hit the ground running. We’ll guide you through setting up your cost libraries, users, and estimate structure — and we’ll support you through your first estimate to make sure you're confident and productive fast.

Yes. The account owner can add users anytime within the app. Additional users are billed at the per-user rate of your selected plan. Volume discounts apply starting at 3 users or more and increase at 5 users or more.

You’ll keep access until the end of your billing cycle. After that, your account will be deactivated — but your data will be retained for 60 days in case you decide to come back. We recommend exporting any reports before canceling, just in case.

BidBow is flexible enough to support virtually any construction estimating workflow — but it’s especially well-suited for projects with self-performed scopes, whether in civil, infrastructure, commercial, concrete, or other trades where detailed breakdowns and accurate pricing are critical.

‍It’s built to shine in competitive bidding environments, whether you’re working with unit price or lump sum estimates, self-performing major scopes, or managing complex bid structures. It's intuitive enough to support smaller contractors, and sophisticated enough to meet enterprise demands.

Still unsure? Reach out — we’re happy to help you determine if BidBow fits your workflow.

No — you can start estimating right away. BidBow helps you build your library as you go, or you can import existing cost data to hit the ground running more quickly. The more you use BidBow, the more your cost library grows — naturally.

Absolutely. Whether you’re a solo estimator or part of a growing team, BidBow gives you the speed, structure, and flexibility to work efficiently — without the overhead of managing spreadsheets or rigid systems.

Yes — BidBow is built for real-time collaboration. Multiple users can work on the same estimate simultaneously, with role-based access and permissions built in.

No. BidBow is designed to complement your preferred takeoff tool, not replace it.

Our customers work across many trades and project types, and may use different takeoff tools (sometimes multiple at the same time) depending on the project, scope, or estimator preference. Regardless of where quantities come from, they use BidBow as the central place to build, structure, reuse, and finalize their estimates.

Think of takeoff tools as where quantities are measured — and BidBow as where estimates are built, reviewed, and reused. You can import quantities from takeoff tools and pull them directly into your estimate items — so your workflow stays smooth, no matter where your takeoff happens.

You can easily import outputs from your takeoff tool. We have out-of-the-box support for a few popular takeoff tools, and can support others easily through our flexible Excel file import feature. For ERP integrations, reach out to us with your specific system — we are actively expanding support for ERP workflows.

At BidBow, we use AI to make your experience seamless and efficient. Our AI system processes documents, like Excel and PDF files, to extract relevant information (such as vendor details and item lists) and organize it into a structured format for your convenience.

Your Data Stays Private: Uploaded documents are processed securely within our system, never shared with third parties, and are currently not used to train AI models. In the future, we may offer customer-specific AI models — trained solely on your organization’s data, for your exclusive use — and only with your explicit consent.
