The features help me get tasks done faster, and the support team is always responsive. > > **Cons**: Some features could be more customizable, and I’ve noticed occasional minor bugs. The pricing feels a bit high for smaller teams. > > Despite a few small drawbacks, Bolster has been a reliable tool that makes my workflow smoother and more efficient. ----- ### "Efficient Sales Management" — 5.0/5 > **Erick** | *20 December 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how Bolster makes it easy to track deals and manage sales activity with a clean, intuitive interface. The automation and reporting tools help save time and keep everything organized. > > **Cons**: Some advanced features take time to fully learn, and customization options can feel limited in certain workflows. Pricing may be high for smaller teams. > > Overall, Bolster is a solid platform that improves sales visibility and efficiency. It’s especially useful for teams that want better structure and insights into their pipeline. ----- ### "Good overall, just need some improvemets" — 5.0/5 > **Quentin** | *16 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bolster’s estimating software has many useful tools, and when building an estimate, we have ENDLESS options including a prebuilt library of items we can edit to fit our needs. Before this we used QuickBooks for sending quotes, so this has been a nice step up and we have not regretted it\! > > **Cons**: With that said, there are some hassles we’ve learned to navigate when creating a proposal; when clicking the “clear changes” button, just know it will get rid of ALL work including anything saved, and when changing the theme (cover photo) of an estimate - while inside the preview layout - it will automatically change it on ALL other proposals currently using that same theme, without warning. A few other tricky features that we encountered: internal messages from prospective clients can be easily overlooked and once read, the notification seems to stay on, the processing company (Plaid) used for ACH invoice payments require personal banking information that our customers feel is too invasive, we prefer to send our own review requests after we completing a job instead of Bolster’s automatic surveys that are sent to our clients (this can be turned off, if requested). With any software program, there are unpredictable bugs that have halted our progress at times, requiring some flexibility on our part. > > the support team at Bolster is very responsive and they work hard to resolve system glitches. We have been using Bolster for a couple of years and though not perfect, it has been helpful for our company to have and it is worth a try\! ----- ### "Company Owner" — 1.0/5 > **Brooks** | *19 June 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the idea of the software; however, they never finished setting up my software to allow me to use it. They would not provide a refund, so my experience felt like a total scam. > > **Cons**: Inability to get the roofing and bathroom estimating templates created. They did not finish the templates for me to use them. > > My initial rep was great and very helpful however he left the company, and no one picked up where he left off, so I was never able to use the software at all ----- ### "Improved my sales signifiactly\!" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *5 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like Bolsters estimating capabilities. Once set up it is super fast to send out estimates. The home owners I have dealt with are blown away by my proposals and as a result my closing rate has gone way up. The project managment feature are also really good, they flow down from the estimate seamlessly. > > **Cons**: The software is very powerfull and as a result can feel a bit intimidating. I recommend if you move forward with Bolster that you just get started estimating and then slowly learn the other capabilites within the software one you have some seat time. > > My experience has been very positive. I purchased the package with more support and recieved the best service from my onboarder \[sensitive content hidden\]. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/199769/bolster?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/199769/bolster) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
