For agencies & freelancers

Take the tour. Four minutes.
Then decide.

Each stop shows a real product surface — what your card looks like in the panel, what the brief email contains, what the application takes. End of the tour is the apply form. From $79/mo, no commission, 30-day money-back.

01/ WHERE BUYERS FIND YOU

On the results page, after they finish the calculator.

Visitors take the 9-step calculator, see the cost band for their project, then see your card in the “Find Your Builder” panel right under the estimate. The panel is filtered by platform × market × project type — you only get matches that fit your profile.

// note When a Shopify Plus buyer in the UK with a $25K-$40K budget reaches /results, this is the panel that loads. No bidding, no profile-page click-throughs — the card is on the results page itself.

02/ TRY THE SIMULATOR

Pick a platform. See your card.

This is exactly what a buyer sees on /results when their selections match your profile. Try different combinations — the empty card at the top of the panel is where you slot in.

03/ RECEIVE THE BRIEF

Every match emails you the buyer's full project brief.

When a buyer clicks your card we send the brief to your inbox — platform, scope, budget band, timeline, scope notes — plus a one-click reply through a masked alias so the buyer's real email stays private until they answer. Lead Delivery and Growth tiers only.

What Clutch, Upwork, and cold outreach can't ship.

Most lead-gen channels send everyone, then take a cut when you close. We send fewer leads — but every one knows what they need and roughly what it costs.

06/ A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

I built this because I was tired of paying for tire-kickers.

Project Cost Estimator started as a tool I wished existed when I was freelancing. Buyers walk in already knowing what they need and roughly what it costs — instead of asking thirty agencies for blind quotes.

Every provider listing is verified by me personally. Every match is real. If the channel ever stops paying off, I refund and shake your hand on the way out. No retention games, no contracts, no NDAs.

After the tour

Things people ask before applying.

Every visitor uses our calculator first — they pick their platform (WordPress, Shopify, Magento, etc.), market (US, UK, EU, etc.), project type, and see a realistic budget range before reaching the results page. Your listing only appears when their selection matches your profile, so you never see tire-kickers who don't know what they want.

Starter ($79) gets you listed below paid tiers with a standard card and a public profile page. Lead Delivery ($249) is where most providers land — every match generates a Project Brief PDF emailed to you with the buyer's full scope, budget band, and a one-click reply-to-buyer masked link. Growth ($499) adds top-of-panel placement, 24h exclusive routing on $15K+ leads, and a monthly strategy call with the founder.

Yes. Reply to any email from us and we'll switch your tier on the next billing cycle. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at month end. No proration, no fees.

You don't — buyers click through directly to your site and contact you on your terms. We don't take a cut of closed deals. The monthly listing fee is the only cost, billed via Stripe or PayPal invoice. Reach out to florin.florea84@gmail.com after approval for invoicing details.

Within 24-48 hours we check three things: (1) your website is live and professional, (2) you have public reviews or testimonials somewhere (Google, Clutch, LinkedIn, etc.), and (3) the platforms or markets you claim match your portfolio. No paperwork, no NDAs.

Yes. No contracts, no minimum term. Email hello@projectcostestimator.com and we'll remove your listing at the end of the current billing month. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first month.

Currently around 10,000 monthly visitors and growing month-over-month through SEO. Around 60% complete the calculator and reach the results page where your listing appears. We publish quarterly transparency reports with traffic and conversion data.

You're only billed once your listing is approved and live, regardless of matches. If you go a full month with zero matches, we either refund that month or extend your listing free for an extra month — your choice.
