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>\n\n 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>\n\n 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\u2014no messy spreadsheets, no third-party middleman markup, and zero monthly software fees.<\/p>\n\n 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, ApproxIt Pro<\/a> unlocks advanced industrial features built to maximize your closing rates.<\/p>\n\n Upgrade to Pro to unlock:<\/p>\n\n No.<\/strong> Lite is fully self-contained. The customer-facing form posts directly to your own WordPress site. Lead notifications are sent from your own server. Lite makes zero outbound calls to external services. Your leads belong to you.<\/p>\n\n If you eventually install ApproxIt Pro<\/a>, the advanced features (Google Maps drawing, SMS, SendGrid email) use third-party APIs that you connect using your own secure API keys.<\/p><\/dd>\n Each submitted lead becomes a private record ( You have two equally good options:<\/p>\n\n Email deliverability depends entirely on your website's hosting provider. On most shared hosts (and even premium hosts like WP Engine), default WordPress emails get flagged as spam by Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo.<\/p>\n\n We strongly recommend installing a free transactional SMTP plugin alongside ApproxIt to sign your outgoing mail correctly:<\/p>\n\n Make sure your From Email<\/strong> in ApproxIt matches your authenticated business domain (e.g., ApproxIt scores every submission instantly to save your team time, using smart, realistic business indicators rather than unpredictable AI guesses:<\/p>\n\n You can also manually override any lead's status directly from the dashboard if things change after a phone call.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Every single estimator has editable Form Title<\/strong> and Form Subtitle<\/strong> fields. Leave them blank to use the clean defaults (\"What do you need?\" \/ \"Select all the services you're interested in.\").<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The public form uses scoped CSS variables ( Build as many as you need. Every estimator operates independently with its own services, add-ons, and layout colors. This is perfect if you run multiple service lines (e.g., Residential Cleaning vs. Commercial Office Cleaning).<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Head to Estimators \u2192 Leads<\/strong> to use the CSV and JSON export buttons. CSV opens cleanly in spreadsheets and most CRMs; JSON preserves the full estimate breakdown for richer database imports.<\/p><\/dd>\n Deleting the plugin from the WordPress admin (not just deactivating it) runs the bundled uninstall protocol, which cleanly removes:<\/p>\n\n Deactivating the plugin without deleting it leaves all your data perfectly intact for when you reactivate.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nWhat you can do with Lite<\/h4>\n\n
