How is BuzzBID different from On-Screen Takeoff or Quick Bid?

BuzzBID was built by the same team that created On-Screen Takeoff and QuickBid. Leonard and Chris Buzz co-founded the platform in 2019. If you're coming from OST or QuickBid, BuzzBID will feel familiar but move faster. You get ClickONCE™ computer vision takeoff, integrated pricing, and everything on one platform with one subscription instead of three separate tools.

How much does BuzzBID cost?

BuzzBID offers three pricing tiers, month-to-month or annual. No long-term contracts, and you can cancel anytime. See the Pricing page for full details on each tier and what's included.

What trades does BuzzBID support?

BuzzBID is purpose-built for commercial drywall, metal framing, plaster, EIFS, stucco, acoustical ceilings, fireproofing, insulation, and painting contractors. Whether you bid one trade or several, the workflow adapts to how your team estimates.

What does ClickONCE™ "computer vision takeoff" actually mean?

Computer vision means BuzzBID reads your plans the way an estimator does, recognizing walls, ceilings, assemblies, and details automatically. Instead of clicking every line by hand, you point at what you want counted and ClickONCE™ measures it. Fewer clicks. Faster bids. Same accuracy.
