Cloud estimating with integrated takeoff, your own cost database, and branded proposals for a flat $79 per month, with no per-seat quotes or paid setup.
01
Yes. KonBid is a WinEst alternative for contractors who want a modern cloud estimating tool with integrated digital takeoff and a custom cost database, priced at a flat $79 per month for the whole company. WinEst is quote-based per seat, commonly reported at $3,000 or more per seat per year, with training billed separately.
KonBid was built for contractors who bid dirt, stone, concrete, pipe, and site packages and want to go from PDF plans to a proposal-ready bid without stitching tools together. See how it works in the digital takeoff software and construction estimating software tours.

Contractors usually switch from WinEst to KonBid for three reasons: a flat company price that does not grow with every new estimator, takeoff and estimating in one connected workflow, and the ability to start bidding the same day without a sales process or paid implementation.
KonBid runs in the browser and syncs across devices, with mobile access for bids, documents, and field measurements.
Digital takeoff, field measurements, and cut and fill push quantities straight into the estimate, and revisions sync instead of being re-entered.
One $79 per month price covers everyone, with no per-seat quotes, modules, or separate training invoices.

WinEst is a long-standing estimating platform used by larger general contractors, often with deep spreadsheet-style customization. If your team relies on that level of customization, needs specific integrations, or is standardized across many offices, it may remain the better fit. KonBid is built for land, site, utility, concrete, and paving contractors who want speed and a flat price.
