This page covers what each tier unlocks. For current prices, see the pricing page.

The tiers

  • Free trial: no credit card required. Your first 3 estimates include every Basic feature, so you try Wave at full strength.
  • Starter: 10 estimates per month. For individual contractors and small teams getting started.
  • Basic: 20 estimates per month, plus Xactimate export, precision drying logs, and the QuickBooks integration. For active teams with steady weekly volume.
  • Pro: high-volume estimating, plus everything in Basic, industry-standard defensibility, and carrier guideline review. For established firms where estimating is daily work.
  • Enterprise: custom. Contact us.

The free trial

The free trial includes 3 estimates with every Basic feature unlocked: PDF export with your branding, industry codes, Xactimate export, and drying logs. Build real estimates, export them, and see exactly what your team would get on a paid plan.

Defensibility and carrier guideline review are Pro features and are not part of the trial.

One trial-specific limit applies: after an estimate is completed, you can send up to 5 follow-up chat messages on it to make changes. Manual edits on the estimate canvas are never limited — click any cell and adjust as much as you need.

When your 3 estimates are used, an upgrade prompt appears where you'd start the next one. See Change your plan.

What every paid plan includes

  • PDF export with your company branding
  • Industry codes visible on line items
  • Unlimited follow-up chat on completed estimates
  • Regional pricing based on the loss address

What Basic and above add

  • Xactimate export — Wave is compatible with Xactimate; export your estimate to it right from the Export options. See Export to Xactimate.
  • Precision drying logs — daily drying plans, readings, and adjuster-ready log exports. See About drying logs.
  • QuickBooks integration — send finished estimates to QuickBooks Online as draft invoices. See Connect QuickBooks.

What Pro adds

  • Industry-standard defensibility — an auto-generated standards rationale on every completed estimate. See Standards rationale.
  • Carrier guideline review — upload the program guidelines you work under and Wave audits each estimate against them. Wave is not trained on carrier guidelines; yours stay yours. See Set up carrier guidelines.
