Floor Nexus vs CoatBid: A Takeoff Tool vs a Full Platform

CoatBid does coating material math and e-signed proposals. Floor Nexus quotes, gets the estimate approved online and runs the job.

CoatBid (coatbid.com) is a quoting tool for epoxy and polyaspartic installers: room dimensions in, primer, base and topcoat gallons rounded to kits plus flake pounds out, from published coverage tables, then a branded proposal with e-signature. One plan, $49/month. It doesn't list a CRM pipeline, scheduling or payments. Floor Nexus quotes from your manufacturer's products and also runs the CRM, measuring, the visualizer, scheduling, invoicing and payments, from $19.99/month.
