Pros

Cons

The biggest drawback of ProEst is that you can't use the program out in the field. Since it doesn't have a mobile app, you must calculate your estimates and create the final bid once you've returned to your office.
Second, we were disappointed that we could not get even a pricing estimate from the company. It's nice to have an idea of what a software platform might cost so you know whether or not it fits into your budget before further researching the product.
