The honest fork

Which one fits your crew?

Pick Rollr if…

  • You are a 1–5 person crew and the estimator is also the painter
  • You quote on-site and want the contract signed the same visit
  • You want flat pricing you can cancel anytime, starting free

Pick PaintScout if…

  • You have dedicated sales/office staff producing estimates all day
  • Your pricing depends on finely tuned production rates per surface
  • You want payments and follow-up automation inside the same tool

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