Your customer fills out your quote page — even just snaps a photo — and about a minute later you get a text with a ready estimate, in your voice, off your prices. Glance at it, change what you want, tap send — nothing goes out without your yes. First with a real number usually wins the job.
The real problem
The crew that answers first with a real number usually wins. That's not a slogan — that's how bidding works. BeatTheBid exists so "first" is always you, on every lead, from the truck, the roof, anywhere.
Why speed wins
Same lead, same minute. Two crews.
The lead doesn't wait. First with a number takes the job — BeatTheBid is the reason it's you.
How it works
Three steps, all from your phone. Watch the screen on the left.
One short call or email. Your quote page goes up at yourname.beatthebid.com, and we load your prices — your rate card if you keep one, or just what you charge out loud. It learns from every number you tweak.
A QR code on the yard sign, your Facebook page, your Google profile, a text to anybody who asks for a price. Your customers, your name — we're not a lead list. We don't sell leads, ever.
They fill out your page — a photo alone works. About a minute later your phone buzzes: the job, plus an estimate drafted in your voice off your prices. Glance, change what you want, tap send.
Both ends of it
What your customer fills out — and what they get back.
What they fill out
Their phone, no account, no download. Even just the photo works.
What they get back
A clean quote page, branded to your business, texted straight to their phone — your name and number on it, not ours.
Here's a real one, built from one photo and a couple lines of text.

The two things it isn't — and the one thing it is.
Logins, dashboards, $50–300 a month. Built for people who sit at desks. You're on a job site — that's the whole problem.
Thumbtack, Angi and the rest: $15–80 a lead, one of five bids on their screen. The customer belongs to them.
Your page, your name, your prices, your customers. You pay $5 when we hand you a quote — and you stop by just stopping.
Real setup
Pricing
You pay when we hand you a quote. Not before.
Good questions
From you — that's the point. Your link goes on the yard sign, your Facebook, your Google profile, in a text to anybody who asks for a price. BeatTheBid isn't a lead list; we don't sell leads and we never send you strangers. Every quote goes out, under your name, to your customers.
Setup is a 15-minute conversation — your rate card if you keep one, or just what you charge. Then every number you tweak before sending teaches it, so it prices more like you the longer you use it.
You approve every quote before it sends. BeatTheBid drafts it off your prices, in your voice — you glance, fix it if you want, then tap send. Nothing goes out without your yes.
No. They fill out a web page — even just a photo — and get a text back. No app, no account.
No. First 10 quotes free, then $5 a quote, and the first 5 quotes of every month are always free. No contract — you stop by just stopping.
No. The whole thing runs on texts. You get the request as a text and approve by text — from the job site, the truck, anywhere.
Fencing, concrete, landscaping, tree, junk removal, painting, decking, remodeling — anything where a customer describes a job and you ballpark it. Your page, your prices, your voice.
The same $5 per quote we hand you, win or lose — but you're only ever charged for a real, sendable quote, never for a raw request that goes nowhere.
Email hello@beatthebid.com — your trade and your city are enough. We'll build your page, load your prices, and text you the link today. Your first 10 quotes are free, so it costs you nothing to find out.
