<p><strong>ApproxIt Lite</strong> is a visual, self-contained service estimator built specifically for tradespeople and service companies who are tired of playing phone tag just to give a baseline quote.</p>
<p>Whether you manage a residential cleaning company, a lawn care business, or a pressure washing crew, your website shouldn’t just be a static business card. It should be your hardest-working salesperson.</p>
<p>With ApproxIt, prospective clients pick their services, adjust the project variables, and see an accurate running total dynamically. When they hit submit, they get a professional digital receipt, and a clean, prioritized lead lands directly in your WordPress dashboard—no messy spreadsheets, no third-party middleman markup, and zero monthly software fees.</p>
<h4>What you can do with Lite</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Visual Estimator Builder</strong> — Drag-and-drop your core line items and add-ons. Set flat rates or per-unit pricing (by the hour, room, or square foot) and assign billing cycles (one-time, per-visit, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly) instantly.</li>
<li><strong>4 Pre-Built Industry Blueprints</strong> — Start bidding in seconds. Includes pre-configured starter catalogs for Lawn Care & Landscaping, House Cleaning, Window Cleaning, and Power Washing. Load a template, tweak your local price rates, and publish.</li>
<li><strong>Customer-Facing Form</strong> — Deliver a clean, seamless two-step flow with a live running total. Drop it anywhere on your site using the native <strong>ApproxIt Estimator</strong> Gutenberg block or a simple shortcode.</li>
<li><strong>Local Dashboard Pipeline</strong> — Ditch the notebooks. Every single submission automatically ranks as a Hot, Warm, or Cold lead based on job size and contact completeness, moving cleanly through your workflow from “New” to “Won.”</li>
<li><strong>Advanced Bot & Spam Defense</strong> — Keep your database clean with built-in invisible honeypots, execution timing security tokens, and strict IP rate-limiting to block automated form bots entirely.</li>
<li><strong>Instant Data Export</strong> — Export your leads to CSV or JSON with one click for accounting, CRM import, or end-of-year backups.</li>
<li><strong>Automated Receipts & Alerts</strong> — Send instant email receipts to clients and alert emails to your crew via WordPress, complete with your direct business phone number so hot leads can call you right away.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Designed to grow with you</h4>
<p>ApproxIt Lite is 100% functional out of the box and never expires. But when your dispatch volume grows and you want to completely automate your quoting office, <a href="https://approxitpro.com" rel="nofollow ugc">ApproxIt Pro</a> unlocks advanced industrial features built to maximize your closing rates.</p>
<p>Upgrade to Pro to unlock:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Smart Surcharge Questions</strong> — Protect your margins with conditional multipliers and flat-fee adjustments (e.g., “How steep is the roof?”, “Is the yard overgrown?”).</li>
<li><strong>Package Bundles</strong> — Upsell effortlessly by displaying Good / Better / Best tiers side-by-side, complete with a highlighted recommended package.</li>
<li><strong>Satellite Map Measuring Canvas</strong> — Let clients trace their own lawns, driveways, or roof footprints directly on a live Google Maps window. The square footage automatically fills your per-unit pricing quantity.</li>
<li><strong>AI Property Intelligence Engine</strong> — Automatically research property boundaries and structural details via address data analysis before you ever roll a truck.</li>
<li><strong>Instant SMS Dispatch Routing</strong> — Fire instant text alerts to your cell phone the second a high-value estimate drops, and trigger automated follow-ups via Twilio.</li>
<li><strong>Professional Email Delivery</strong> — Direct SendGrid integration for signed, deliverable transactional email without needing a bloated SMTP plugin.</li>
<li><strong>Abandoned Lead Rescue</strong> — Automatically track and follow up with users who started an estimate but didn’t finish.</li>
<li><strong>9 Advanced Business Blueprints</strong> — Instantly load complex pricing matrices for HVAC, Painting, Roofing, Pool Service, Tree Service, Plumbing, Concrete & Paving, Garage Door, and Solar Panel Service.</li>
</ul>
