Bolster

What Bolster is

Bolster is software for tracking bids and managing sales leads. It provides bid tracking, lead capture, and basic pipeline customization through web access and mobile apps for Android and iOS. Projects are unlimited in the listed Essentials, Pro, and Premium plans. Essentials costs $299 a month, billed monthly, for one user. Pro costs $499 a month, billed monthly, for three users. Additional users cost $20 a month, billed monthly. Bolster is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The product is paid and has no free plan. Teams can therefore use the same bid and lead functions across desktop and mobile platforms, while selecting a plan according to user count and adding users separately when needed.
