But, after having used it for a few months now, I really enjoy how easy it is to use, the features it has and its overall purpose. I am a sitework estimator and use AGTEK for my takeoff. Previously, there was a large headache and time-sink transferring all of my takeoff for a job into a presentable estimate with prices. BidBow has taken this manual process and made it into buttons. Now, I can export my takeoff from AGTEK, import into BidBow and with its auto estimate buttons automatically assign prices to my items. With a database I have built I can pull prices directly or from past jobs saving hours building out an estimate. > > **Cons**: Personally, I do not like web-based programs. Although, this does not affect its function or purpose. BidBow gets me 90% of the way there, instances like earthwork and modeling are much more difficult to apply as they require manipulation and interpretation. > > Overall, BidBow has become part of my workflow and is saving me time. Customer support is amazing. I am eager to learn more it can offer in terms of efficiency and accuracy. ----- ### "BidBow - the underdog that is poised to change everything" — 5.0/5 > **Jake** | *22 October 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: BidBow has one of the lowest barriers to entry of any estimating software that I have ever used. I was able to begin estimating in an afternoon after the initial onboarding process. In addition, their development team is incredibly approachable and eager to hear about process changes to make the system better. > > **Cons**: There's not much to NOT like. Some of the features are not really applicable to my style or scheme of estimating but that's not really a con because they're lightweight enough so that they aren't in the way. > > I began during the Beta phase of BidBow and after a very brief period of evaluation decided that I wanted to subscribe and incorporate it into my business operations. I have been working with BidBow now and have completed multiple estimates in the system with a great success rate. ----- ### "BidBow — Excellent Estimation Software" — 5.0/5 > **Andres** | *3 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: BidBow is a huge time-saver. The resource and activity library keeps everything organized and consistent, and the Auto-Quote feature makes creating new estimates much faster by using previous project data. I also love the subcontractor quote import—it reads the subcontractor’s proposal and inserts it directly into the package, eliminating manual entry. > > **Cons**: None so far. The software performs exceptionally well and the customer support is excellent and they are also always innovating. > > We’ve saved countless hours on inputting data, giving us more time to focus on reviewing plans and project details. Excellent value for money—highly recommend, 10/10. ----- ### "BidBow and Us" — 5.0/5 > **Jose** | *19 May 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We appreciate the structure of BidBow and how much the program has to offer, in terms of how long it will be suitable for our companies growth, which is indefinite. It is well designed. > > **Cons**: It is a little scary to work estimates on a software that is not locally installed, but all strong estimating software has transitioned to cloud based, which has a lot of advantages. > > We enjoy the intuitive design of the software and found any small questions that arose were quickly addressed by BidBow. They are constantly working on refining the user experience, it appears. ----- ### "Great Program and Great People - Highly Recommend" — 5.0/5 > **Cal** | *22 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer support is top notch. I am new to BidBow after using a different software for several years. The team has been super helpful in aiding to my needs and questions as I am growing familiar with it. > > **Cons**: I do not have any complaints about BidBow so far. I am sure there is so much more the program has to offer that I do not even use yet. But from what I have seen so far, I am sure there won't be any issues learning it with the level of support BidBow has. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2082409/bidbow?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2082409/bidbow) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
