About QuoteChecker.ai

How it started

QuoteChecker started when a $158,000 remodel proposal hid a $25,000 upcharge inside a vague "allowances" line. Montgomery Kuykendall, our founder, pulled the receipts, lined the quote up against two competing bids, and found the gap.

That first write-up set the pattern every audit still follows: break the quote into line items, compare each one to real local prices, and hand the homeowner plain-English next steps before anyone signs anything.

What we stand for

Every audit has to clear three bars before we publish it.

Show the math. Every flagged line item tells you the price we expected, the price you're being quoted, and the source we compared against.

Leave you with something to do. Every finding comes with a question to ask, a script you can send, or a number to push back on.

Keep it plain. No jargon, no sales pressure, no fake urgency. If we can't explain a flag in one sentence, we don't ship it.

Get in touch

Plain language

No "allowances," "scope TBD," or "market adjustment" without a translation. If your quote uses that language, ours doesn't.

No tracking, no upsell traps

The free tier is genuinely free. We don't run ad pixels, we don't sell data, and Pro is clearly separate when you're ready for it.

How an audit works

Four steps. No account required for the free version.

Upload. Paste text or attach a PDF or photo of your quote. Files process in memory and aren't stored.
Parse. We split the quote into line items: materials, labor, allowances, and anything left vague.
Compare. Each line item is checked against real local prices in your metro (30 U.S. metros covered).
Deliver. You get a plain-English summary, flagged items, and follow-up questions you can send the contractor.

Metros covered: 30 U.S. metros, local pricing for each
Typical audit time: Under 30 seconds
Free-tier data retention: Session only. Nothing stored.

Built to read out loud

Every page works with a screen reader, a keyboard, or high-contrast mode. If something doesn't, tell us.

What homeowners do with it

Most people use QuoteChecker to push back on padded line items, to compare two or three competing bids side by side, or just to show a spouse or roommate what the quote actually says before signing.

Sometimes the quote is fine and the audit confirms it. That's a perfectly good outcome too.

Before vs. after

Run an audit first, then send follow-up questions to the contractor. Audits that start a written back-and-forth almost always land at a fairer price.

Share the report

Every audit can be copied as plain text or downloaded as a PDF. Pro users can also generate a read-only share link without handing over account access.

Pick your tool
