Step 1: Sign up for your free 30-day trial, answer simple questions about your business, and our AI will build your estimator form in minutes. Review, edit, test, and publish - whether that’s on your website, as a QR code, a direct link, or connected to your Meta lead form. No complex form setup required.

Step 2: Leads answer a few quick questions or upload photos or their address, building trust that their price estimate’s tailored to them. If you sell products, you can also show these options in your form or results screen, giving customers real choices to explore.

Step 3: Our AI instantly generates either a ballpark range or fixed price estimate using your business pricing and the lead’s details, and displays it on screen. Interested leads provide their contact info to receive a copy by email — keeping them engaged and pre-qualified for your business.

Step 4: Every lead is added to your online account with full details, including how the estimate was calculated, and you’re notified instantly by email. Track progress in one dashboard, update lead statuses, and push lead details and estimate figures to any external software. Now you can focus on the leads most likely to close.

Whether you're a one-man-band or a large company, Aidtrade's instant price estimator helps all trades & service businesses that generate quotes, estimates or proposals. We service many trades businesses including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, security & alarm installations, gutter and roofing installations, carpenters, painters, furniture assembly and more, as well as many service businesses such as cleaners, landscapers, car detailers and more.

You can sign up today for a free 30 day trial, and once logged in you can easily onboard yourself to create your instant price estimator in as little as 15 minutes.

You'll be guided through an easy onboarding flow, which asks basic questions about your business (hourly rate, availability, serviceability, standard inclusions etc). You can also go into further detail by uploading any past quotes, materials, and inventory sheets you may have, but this is optional.

Yes. Your leads only see price estimates (either as ballpark figures or fixed estimates), not final quotes - you do the final checks and send a personalised quote. After a lead has been sent an estimate, all customer data will be added to your online account (customer message, photos, address and more).

From there, you can easily prepare a final quote for the customer in your current quoting software such as Xero or ServiceM8 before sending it off to the customer. This way you remain in control of the final quote and prices.

We also offer optional integrations so that estimates can be pushed to your existing software such as Xero or ServiceM8 so you can easily prepare the final quote.

Yes, our system is setup so that you can choose between displaying a price range estimate to customers (e.g. $900-$1100), or a fixed estimate amount (e.g. $1000). This gives you and your leads the ultimate pricing flexibility.

Aidtrade only sends your leads price estimates, not fixed quotes. A quote is normally a legally binding and fixed price document, while an estimate is an indicative price (either as a ballpark range or fixed amount), which may be subject to change. If you wish to have the estimates binding for your customers, please contact us directly.

Yes, you can easily test your price estimator in your online account, before going live, giving confidence the software works for you as intended. You can also provide feedback on any leads and calculations at any time in your online account.

As each instant estimate in your online account comes with how it was calculated (labour/materials etc), this makes preparing for the final quote that much easier. We display labour, materials and inventory as standard calculation items. Note: these detailed internal calculations are not shown to your leads.

Yes. We support software integrations via API and Webhooks (such as ServiceM8 or Xero). You can push the price estimates directly into any job management or accounting tool you may be using to help you with the final quote preparation or to simply centralise all of your customer data in one software.

See our integration guide here.

No. Think of Aidtrade as an add-on to any existing job management software (such as ServiceM8 or Simpro), not a replacement of it. Once the price estimate has been generated, sent to your lead and added to your account, you can optionally push this to your job management platform. You can also manage your leads in your online account by changing their status (i.e. NEW to CONTACTED).

In your online account there's an 'Embed' tab that allows you to see all the ways you can conveniently publish your form. The most common way is to simply copy and paste the code of the instant price estimator, and add it to your website as code. You may also give this code to your web developer and ask them to add it.

Not interested in publishing it to your website as a form? You can also add your instant estimator as a QR code, as a direct URL link, or to your Meta ads lead form.

If you sell products like air conditioners, EV chargers, or solar panels, you can easily upload your inventory list to Aidtrade. You can choose to display these products directly in your price estimator's results screen, giving customers real options to explore. You can update or remove items anytime.

Yes, you can easily update your pricing, materials, labour rates or inventory in your account at anytime, which will reflect immediately in your estimator's pricing.

You can generate an unlimited* number of estimates per month (*subject to our fair use policy).

Absolutely. Our instant price estimator only send your leads estimates (either as a price range or fixed amount), so you still have the opportunity to conduct a site visit before you send the final quote. However, in your online account in many instances there will be enough data from the instant price estimate (customer details, photos, addresses etc) to not need a site visit to prepare a final quote.

Yes, you will be notified instantly via email when a new lead is added to your online account. Never miss a lead again.

Yes, in your online account you have the ability to add disclaimers, T&Cs or any legal text that accompanies your instant price estimator and the email sent to leads.

Yes, you can set your business branding in your online account including colours, font, disclaimers, email copy and more. Our estimates make your business look more modern, responsive, and professional compared to slower and outdated competitors.

You can link your price estimator to your Meta ads in two easy ways:

1. Send people straight to your estimator – Run ads that take users directly to your website (where your estimator is embedded) or to your direct Aidtrade estimator link.

2. Use Meta lead forms – Collect basic info (like name, phone, and email) with Meta’s built-in form, then add a button on the “Thank You” screen that links to your estimator or website.

Building an price estimator with popular form tools is painful — every question and calculation has to be set up manually, and it’s easy to get wrong. With Aidtrade, you just answer a few questions about your business and our AI builds the form logic for you. All you do is review and approve.

AI can make mistakes. Remember that our software only sends indicative price estimates to your leads, not final quotes. If you notice an estimate is not quite right in your online account, you can provide feedback to Aidtrade in each lead's details, which we'll use to fine tune your AI model. You also have the ability to test your price estimator directly in your online account before publishing it live to your website.

Absolutely. We use secure infrastructure, encrypted storage, and never share or resell your data.
