Is ObraMaestra a Handoff alternative?

Yes, and it is the closest one there is: both take a spoken or written description of the job and draft the estimate with line items, quantities and prices. The difference is the bill and the contract.

How does the pricing compare?

Handoff's published list price for Flex is $119 a month billed annually, or $149 month to month, and its Pro and Scale plans carry a 12 month commitment (checked on handoff.ai/pricing, August 19, 2026). ObraMaestra Pro is US$19.90 a month with no annual commitment.

Does ObraMaestra do takeoffs from plans?

No. Handoff does AI takeoffs from residential plans up to 5,000 sqft on its Scale plan, and we do not have an equivalent. In ObraMaestra you describe the job, or send a photo, and the AI drafts the line items from that.

Am I limited by AI credits?

No. Handoff meters AI usage in credits: 50 a month on Flex, unlimited on the Pro plan at $239 a month billed annually. ObraMaestra Pro is counted in estimates, 20 a month, and nothing you do inside one of them burns a separate credit.

Do both have a free trial?

Yes, and both are 7 days without a credit card. Handoff's is on the Flex plan. Ours gives you full access with up to 5 estimates.

Which one should I pick?

Pick Handoff if you take off residential plans and that is worth the Scale plan to you, or if you need several pricing catalogs. Pick ObraMaestra if you want the same speed on the estimate without an annual commitment, without credit metering and at a tenth of the entry price.
