# Pool Quote Compare

> Free web tool for homeowners to compare two to four pool contractor quotes, bids or proposals side by side. Upload PDFs or paste text; it extracts price, pool size, price per square foot, construction type, finishes, equipment, included services, exclusions, warranties and timeline, and lines them up in one table. Runs in the browser with no account.
