WinkScope starts at $29.99/month for the Starter plan, $79.99/month for Pro and $199/month for Agency, with no setup fee and a 15-day free trial. That entry price is below most all-in-one construction platforms, which commonly start between $99 and $499 per month, while still including estimating, scheduling, invoicing and a client portal.
Custom Home Builders use WinkScope to estimate and invoice from the same record: the accepted estimate becomes the project, change orders adjust the approved total, and invoices can be raised in full, as a deposit, by progress or by milestone. Payments run through Stripe or can be marked paid manually, and invoices sync with QuickBooks Online or Xero.
Yes. WinkScope AI drafts scope of work, materials and labour lines for custom home builders from plans, site photos or a written description, then you edit every line, markup and tax before sending. The AI drafts; it never sends an estimate or invoice on its own.
Yes. A change order can be raised mid-job with a description, amount and schedule impact, then sent to the client portal for one-click approval or decline. Approved change orders update the project total and become billable; declined ones do not.
Every client gets a private portal on all plans. They can review and sign estimates, approve change orders, view schedule and photos, message you, download documents and pay invoices. No app install and no separate subscription for the client.
WinkScope covers the same lifecycle — estimate, proposal, schedule, work orders, change orders, job costing, invoicing and client portal — at a $29.99/month entry price with a 15-day free trial and no onboarding fee. It does not do payroll processing, white-labelling or lead generation, so a custom home builder business that needs those will use a separate tool alongside it.
Sign-up takes minutes with no credit card. Templates for custom home builders and a price book are included, so a first estimate can usually go out the same day. Existing clients, estimates and invoices can be brought in by CSV import or a guided migration.
