The honest fork

Which one fits your crew?

Pick Rollr if…

  • You run a 1–5 person residential crew and quote in the driveway
  • You want quote → contract → e-signature in one mobile flow
  • You want to start free today, with no demo call and no setup package

Pick PaintScout if…

  • You run a $1M+ shop with office staff building estimates
  • You need deep production-rate libraries tuned per surface
  • You need payments, follow-up automation, and a scheduling module now

“It’s taken our quoting process to a new level.”

Where PaintScout beats us

  • Deeper production-rate estimating: room-by-room rate libraries, surface pricing, profit-margin controls
  • Payments and automated follow-ups built in
  • An Operations module for scheduling and job management
  • CompanyCam and Zapier integrations (Rollr has QuickBooks on Pro, but not CompanyCam or Zapier)
  • Years of painter-industry track record — Rollr is the newer product

Quote the next job before you leave the driveway.

Free plan: unlimited quotes and contracts, free forever. No credit card, no demo call, cancel anytime.
