- For a flooring company, the features that decide the software are options on one estimate, deposits at signing, customer financing.
- Koira covers that list on Office (free), with no per-person fee.
- Prices and card rates for Jobber, Housecall Pro and JobTread are from each company's own pages.
- Count the people who will use it before you compare prices.
What a flooring company needs from software
A flooring sale is a choice between materials. The homeowner wants to see what the good, the better and the best floor would cost for the same rooms, and most of the selling happens in that comparison.
Once it is sold, the money moves early: material is ordered and acclimated before the crew arrives. A flooring business that takes the deposit at signing and collects the final on install day never floats a whole house of material.
- Options on one estimate. Laminate, luxury vinyl or hardwood at three prices is the conversation every flooring sale turns on.
- Deposits at signing. Flooring is ordered and acclimated before install, so the material money should come in at signing.
- Customer financing. A whole-house floor is a big number, and paying over time makes the better material possible.
- Automatic estimate follow-ups. Homeowners compare samples for weeks, and the bid that checks in politely stays in the running.
- Day-before reminders. Furniture moved and pets put away on install day saves an hour at the door.
- Paid on the spot. The final is easiest to collect while the homeowner is looking at the new floor.

How Koira covers the list
Options on one estimate. Up to three options on one estimate, each with a photo and a plain description, from your own price list.
Deposits at signing. Your deposit rule rides on every estimate and is paid when they sign.
Customer financing. The pay page offers Affirm or Klarna. The customer applies on their own phone and you never run credit.
Automatic estimate follow-ups. On Grow, Koira nudges every open estimate on day two and day four, then stops.
Day-before reminders. The day before, Koira texts the customer to confirm or move the visit.
Paid on the spot. The invoice opens as a QR code at the door: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or pay over time.

From Jobber pricing and Housecall Pro pricing, checked October 8, 2026; JobTread pricing, checked October 9, 2026. Jobber's pricing page blocks a plain fetch and changes its prices with a team size picker, so we read it in a real browser. The $29 a month per added user is in the note behind each plan's user count. Part of Housecall Pro's pricing page fills in by script and it was running first-month offers when we checked. The plan prices below are the regular ones its plan cards show. A cell names the lowest plan that lists the feature; "Not listed" means we did not see it, so ask. Prices change often, so check the page before you buy.

How to choose
Look at how many bids stall at the sample stage. If many do, options and follow-ups decide the software. If you float material, deposits come first. Koira covers both on the free plan; follow-ups are on Grow. It does not do room takeoffs from plans.
Whichever you try, put one real week of jobs through it before you commit. Koira has a free plan, and the others offer free trials or demos, so ask.
