The ConvertCalculator Problem for Contractors

You have to build every calculator from scratch. ConvertCalculator gives you a drag-and-drop builder, but zero pre-built construction templates. Want a kitchen remodel calculator? You're designing it yourself — formulas, pricing logic, UI, lead capture.
$200/month for the plan most contractors need. The Pro plan with custom branding, integrations, and decent form limits runs $200/month. That's $2,400/year for a calculator builder.
Pricing formulas require spreadsheet skills. Construction cost estimation isn't simple math. Scope levels, finish tiers, regional multipliers, add-on costs — building accurate pricing logic takes real construction knowledge.
You're paying for a platform, not a solution. ConvertCalculator is great for businesses that need custom calculators. But contractors need construction calculators. That's what we built.

When ConvertCalculator Makes Sense

We're being honest. ConvertCalculator is the right choice if:

Choose ConvertCalculator if...

You need a completely custom calculator with unique logic
You're not in the construction industry
You have a developer to build and maintain calculators
You need complex conditional logic beyond cost estimation

Choose TradeCalcs if...

You're a contractor who needs calculators now, not next month
You want pre-built kitchen, bathroom, roofing, HVAC, and ADU calculators
You want lead capture without any setup
You'd rather pay $99 once than $200/month
