Satellite Estimating
Quote any fence from a map. Quote any fence from a satellite map in under 5 minutes. Parcel lines load automatically and the bill of materials counts every post, picket and bag of concrete.
Free estimating vs. a system that closes jobs
Fenceline is free. Here's what free costs you.
Fenceline.ai does estimates, satellite layouts, and a customer portal for $0. Fenceworks does those too, then answers the phone you missed, chases the quote you sent, and prints the door hangers for the street you're working. One of these is a calculator. The other one gets you the job.
What Fenceline does well
- Genuinely free core: estimates, satellite layouts, material library, customer portal, scheduling, unlimited users.
- An AI layer over your data, with a chat that can answer questions about your business.
- Clean, modern, fast to start. No demo wall.
Where it stops
- Pricing is generic. Estimates use "typical labor rates for your area," and Fenceline states accuracy within 10–20%. It doesn't know your post spacing, your gate hardware, or your driven-vs-set method. A 10–20% miss on a $10,000 fence is $1,000–$2,000.
- It doesn't answer the phone. No AI call handling, no missed-call text-back. The lead that calls while you're on a job is still gone.
- Follow-up is on you. No automated sequence on open quotes, no review requests after the job.
- No crew time. No GPS clock-in, no hours-per-job, so job cost is an estimate, not a fact.
- No printed anything.
- Read the roadmap. Fenceline is building a homeowner side: "get instant estimates, compare contractors." Free software with a marketplace roadmap eventually needs to make money from someone. If it isn't you, it's the leads.
- Support is email and community. A premium tier is "coming."

Who should stay on Fenceline
Solo installer, under 5 quotes a month, answering your own phone from the truck, happy with a ballpark. Free is the right price for that.
Who should switch
You've missed a call this week. You've got quotes out you haven't chased. You've under-priced a job because the software guessed your labor. Any one of those is the whole subscription.
Switching
Export your customers and past jobs from Fenceline to a spreadsheet and import them in minutes (map the columns, preview, undo), or send the files and we'll import them free. Setup also rebuilds one past quote at your real prices, so you can see the number move.

Fenceworks vs. Fenceline.
There is a free forever plan for estimating. The plans that answer the phone and chase quotes start at {{starter}}/mo with setup included. Free tools don't answer your phone.
You can, but you'd be re-entering every quote. The follow-up and crew packet only work when the quote lives in Fenceworks.
Because Fenceline's stated direction includes a homeowner side where contractors get compared. Fenceworks has no homeowner marketplace and never will. Your leads stay yours.
