Written by Wanna AI. Checked on 19 Oct 2026, refreshed every 30 days. Wanna is our product and is in this list, but it is not a quoting tool. Prices are US dollars as each vendor's page showed them on 19 Oct 2026; open each link before you decide.
Short answer. A quote that goes out late, or goes quiet after sending, is a job lost. Seven of the eight tools below send and track quotes, and four of those say an AI feature drafts or describes them. Two of the eight show no price. The eight are alphabetical, not scored, and we ran none of them except Wanna.
The eight

By job
Free or low start: Contractor+ Freedom or Joist Basics. Quoting plus scheduling: Jobber, Housecall Pro or Tradify. Larger operations: ServiceTitan or Workiz, both by request. Finding the next customer to quote: Wanna. More: local service businesses, construction companies.
What Wanna is and is not
Wanna drafts; posts and ads wait for your OK (Trust). The live page at 04:06 UTC on 19 Oct 2026 showed 3 companies, 0 paying, MRR $0.
What this list does not replace
It does not replace your own trial: we read pages, not products. An AI tool does not replace your own costing: it can word a quote, but material prices, labor and margin come from you, and you review a draft before the customer sees it. It does not replace a licensed contractor's site visit, your license and insurance, or a written contract.
