QuotePilot vs MyBuilder

Honest comparison of QuotePilot vs MyBuilder for UK tradespeople. One is a lead directory, one is a quoting tool — here's the difference and which you actually need.

MyBuilder gets you leads — it doesn't help you win them once you have them.

MyBuilder is a lead generation directory, not a quoting tool. You pay for leads, then quote those customers using whatever method you currently use — a text message, an email, or a bit of paper. The problem is that the tradesperson who replies first with a professional quote usually wins the job. QuotePilot is what you use after you get a lead — to send a quote that looks better than everyone else's in 60 seconds.

Common questions

Can I use MyBuilder and QuotePilot together?

Yes — they complement each other. Use MyBuilder to find the lead, use QuotePilot to send a professional quote before the other tradespeople do. First and best quote wins.

Does MyBuilder have a quoting tool?

No. MyBuilder connects you to customers, but how you quote them is up to you. QuotePilot gives you a professional, voice-driven quoting tool so you can respond faster than your competitors.

Is QuotePilot cheaper than buying leads on MyBuilder?

QuotePilot is £7.99/month for 50 quotes. MyBuilder leads typically cost £5–£30 each, and you're competing with several other tradespeople. If QuotePilot helps you convert one extra lead per month, it pays for itself many times over.

Do customers on MyBuilder expect professional quotes?

Yes — customers on MyBuilder compare multiple tradespeople. A clean, branded PDF with a customer portal and digital acceptance stands out against a text message or a rough email estimate.
