Original release notes
Big update, CostHammer now builds estimates FOR you. AI ESTIMATING (NEW) Describe the job in plain words, "bathroom remodel, tile 60 sq ft, new vanity, paint" and CostHammer drafts the entire estimate. Review the lines, tweak quantities, add to your quote. Runs on your iPhone, so it's private and works offline. TYPE-YOUR-OWN ITEMS (NEW) Already know the job and the price? Just type it in "Tile install, $2,000" no catalog required. Or price by quantity like always. START FROM SCRATCH New "Start Estimate" button takes you from blank to signed contract without ever opening the catalog. NOW FREE TO TRY Every feature unlocked free for 7 days, no card needed. After that, keep working on the free plan or go Pro for unlimited estimates, contracts, and 3D scans — monthly or annual. SIGN & APPROVE CHANGE ORDERS Extra work mid-job?
