Which fits your next contract?
When BidLoom fits

Consider PandaDoc when your priority is the document, signature and agreement workflow. Demonstrate the source of your cleaning estimate alongside those tools.
Evaluate both on the same scope
- Use the same building, task quantities and visit schedule. Review the hours and production assumptions in each product.
- Enter your reviewed employer labor cost, supplies and equipment costs. Reconcile the estimate before choosing a client price.
- Compare the proposal or agreement your client receives, including required scope, terms and approval steps.
- Confirm the selected plan, billing period, people and locations. Test any required export or integration rather than assuming it from this comparison.
Review the assumptions before quoting
BidLoom’s state defaults are starting estimates, not your company’s assessed rates. FUTA credit reductions, some state assessments and local employer levies still need separate review. BidLoom does not calculate Service Contract Act wages or required fringe benefits.
