About this plugin
ApproxIt Lite 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.
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.
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.
What you can do with Lite
- Visual Estimator Builder — 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.
- 4 Pre-Built Industry Blueprints — 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.
- Customer-Facing Form — Deliver a clean, seamless two-step flow with a live running total. Drop it anywhere on your site using the native ApproxIt Estimator Gutenberg block or a simple shortcode.
- Local Dashboard Pipeline — 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.”
- Advanced Bot & Spam Defense — Keep your database clean with built-in invisible honeypots, execution timing security tokens, and strict IP rate-limiting to block automated form bots entirely.
- Instant Data Export — Export your leads to CSV or JSON with one click for accounting, CRM import, or end-of-year backups.
- Automated Receipts & Alerts — 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.
