Curious to see how everyone is hosting their setups (for yourself, not for a client). This will take you 2 seconds to answer:

Friend remodeling her kitchen. Three contractor quotes. Looked at the bottom line numbers. Ready to sign. "Wait. Did you read the whole thing?" THE QUOTE COMPARISON NIGHTMARE Contractors format quotes differently. Some itemize everything. Some bundle. Some have fees buried in fine print. Quote A: $42,000 total Quote B: $38,000 total Quote C: $44,000 total Obvious choice, right? Quote B wins. Except Quote B had a $2,200 "materials handling fee" on page 3. And a $1,800 "site preparation" charge that Quotes A and C included in their base price. Quote B wasn't actually cheaper. It was more expensive AND harder to compare. THE COMPARISON HELPER I BUILT Upload all quotes. Workflow extracts every line item, fee, charge, timeline, warranty term. Creates side-by-side comparison. Not just totals. Every component broken out. Flags hidden fees. Highlights what's included versus what's extra. Shows warranty differences. Timeline comparison too. Quote A: 6 weeks. Quote B: "estimated 8-10 weeks." Quote C: 5 weeks with penalties for delays. THE INFORMED DECISION Before: Compare bottom lines, miss hidden fees, surprise charges during project. After: True apples-to-apples comparison, hidden costs visible, better negotiation position. Friend went back to Quote B contractor. "I see you have a $2,200 handling fee that the others include in their base." Fee disappeared. Saved her $2,200 from one conversation. Used the same workflow when we got HVAC quotes last summer. Found one quote that didn't include permit costs. Would have been a $400 surprise. The extraction needs clear PDFs. Handwritten quotes don't work well. But most contractors send typed estimates now. This is the workflow i would like to share in group What hidden fees have you found buried in quotes?
