PaintWiser gives painting contractors tools for estimating, booking, invoicing and tracking customer work. Its estimate builder calculates surface area, labor hours, paint gallons and job prices from room measurements and the contractor’s own rates, paint systems and target margin. Exterior estimates use map-measured area, eaves and trim entered in linear feet, and counted doors and windows. Contractors can send branded PDF proposals by email or text, add optional items and receive online customer approval. Approved estimates can become invoices, with deposits and partial payments tracked against the job balance. A pipeline connects customers, properties, quotes, jobs and invoices, while recording lead sources and reminders. Customers can book available estimate slots through a branded link; a code confirms bookings before they become leads. The free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and allows 20 quotes per month, requiring an upgrade before a twenty-first quote. Solo costs 19.00 USD per month; Crew costs 49.00 USD per month. The app works on Android, iOS and the web, with offline changes syncing when connectivity returns.
