Feature comparison
The first contractor to quote wins 68% of the time
Speed wins jobs. When a homeowner emails three contractors, the one who responds with a professional quote in 20 minutes gets the job. The one who responds in 2 days doesn’t. Every hour you spend formatting a spreadsheet quote is an hour your competitor is using to close the deal.
The hidden cost of “free”
Excel is free. But if you spend 30–60 minutes per quote and your time is worth $75/hr, each manual quote costs you $37–75 in labor. At 20 quotes per month, that’s $750–1,500/mo in time. Setell is $49/mo and cuts that to near zero. The spreadsheet isn’t free — it’s the most expensive quoting tool you own.
Revision loops are where margins die
Customer wants to swap laminate for hardwood. In a spreadsheet, you reopen the file, find the line items, recalculate, re-export the PDF, compose a new email. In Setell, you type “change flooring to hardwood” and the revision engine updates the quote, generates a new version with a clear price delta, and keeps the original on file.
Zero visibility into your pipeline
How many quotes are pending right now? Which ones haven’t been followed up? What’s your close rate? With spreadsheets, the answer is “I don’t know.” Setell gives you a real-time pipeline dashboard: what’s pending, what’s approved, what’s gone stale. You can’t improve what you can’t measure.
