After creating your account, a one-minute setup asks for your company name, currency and default tax/markup rates. These go on every quote and invoice, so fill them honestly — you can change everything later in More → Settings.
Tap + on the Quotes tab. Pick a client (or add one right from the dropdown — ＋ Add new client), give the job a title and add line items.
Save your usual materials and labour rates in More → Price Catalog. When quoting, pick items from the catalog instead of typing prices from memory.
Mark a line as optional to show it to the client priced separately, without counting it in the total — great for upsells ("add underfloor heating?").
Markup is applied to your unit prices before tax and is never shown as a separate line to the client — they see final prices only.
Set a valid until date. After it passes, the online quote can no longer be accepted — no one locks in last month's material prices.
Save any quote as a template ("Bathroom reno — standard") and start new quotes from it in two taps.
Tap Send to client — at the bottom of the quote, or on its card in the Quotes list:
Every quote gets a private online page. Your client opens it on their phone, reviews the numbers, types their name and draws their signature — you get a push notification the moment they accept. The signature, name, date and IP are recorded, and signed PDFs carry a certificate line.
On any quote, add a schedule — e.g. 30% deposit / 40% mid / 30% final — by hand or with one tap from your default template (set it in Settings). Each stage can have its own due date.
Once a quote is accepted, its payment schedule moves to the top of the quote and each stage gets an Invoice button (no schedule? the quote's card offers Create invoice for the full amount). Invoices are numbered automatically (your prefix in Settings; deposits can use their own series) and include your bank details.
Clients pay you directly — bank transfer, Zelle, cash, whatever you accept. BidFaster never touches the money and never takes a cut. When a payment lands, tap Mark paid in the Invoices tab (or in the stage's ⋮ menu); your dashboard tracks what's due, paid and overdue.
When a payment passes its due date, you get a push notification and see it on your Home dashboard.
Email reminders to clients PRO: turn on Settings → Email clients about overdue payments and BidFaster sends your client a friendly reminder with the invoice reference — at most once a week per invoice, with replies going straight to your inbox.
Attach before / progress / after photos to any job — a timeline that protects you in disputes and documents insurance work. Won jobs can become projects with dates and status, so your schedule lives next to your paperwork.
Prefer a big screen? Sign in at bidfaster.app/dashboard with the same account. Quotes, invoices, clients, templates and settings — everything stays in sync with your phone.
BidFaster is offline-first: everything works with zero signal — creating quotes, generating PDFs, adding photos. Changes sync automatically when you're back online ("Offline · will sync" appears at the top while you have no signal; Settings → Sync shows the last sync time and a manual sync button).
If you edit the same quote on two devices, the most recent change wins.
Free includes 10 quotes with every core feature. Pro adds:
Subscribe in the app (More → BidFaster Pro). One flat price, cancel anytime in your app store subscriptions — access continues until the end of the paid period. Pro is tied to your account, so it also unlocks the web dashboard.
No — never. We don't process payments at all. Clients pay you directly using the bank details on your invoice. Your only cost is the flat Pro subscription.
No. They get a normal link that opens in any browser, where they can review, accept and sign. No app, no account, no password.
The signature is recorded with the signer's typed name, drawn signature, timestamp and IP address, and the accepted quote is locked with a certificate line on the PDF. Electronic signatures of this kind are broadly recognized (e.g. under the US ESIGN Act and UK/EU eIDAS) for routine commercial agreements — though for high-stakes contracts, ask your lawyer.
Your existing quotes, invoices and data remain fully accessible and editable — you just can't create new quotes until you upgrade to Pro.
Yes — quoting, PDFs, photos and edits all work with no connection. Sending a quote link and syncing need internet, and happen automatically once you're back in range.
Yes — the web dashboard at bidfaster.app/dashboard is included, with the same account and live sync.
Cancel in Google Play (or the App Store) → Subscriptions. Access lasts until the end of the paid period. Deleting your BidFaster account does not cancel the subscription — cancel it in the store too.
Nothing is deleted. You keep full access to everything you created — the free limits simply apply to creating new quotes.
