Getting multiple contractor bids sounds smart, until you're comparing five PDFs in different formats with no clear way to tell what's actually included. Trakvu reads contractor proposals and breaks them into a clear side-by-side comparison: scope, pricing, materials, red flags like vague line items, and contractor ratings for each bid. Make your next home project decision with data, not guesswork. Free to try — no credit card required.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Eric, founder of Trakvu. This started from watching people close to me get 3-4 contractor bids for a renovation and have no real way to compare them beyond "which number is smaller", no visibility into what's actually included, no way to catch red flags, no way to know if a low bid means corner-cutting later.
Trakvu takes those messy bids and turns them into a clear, structured comparison: scope, pricing breakdown, materials, and flags on things that look off, plus contractor ratings, so you're vetting who you hire, not just what they quote.
We've been live for a while now helping real homeowners compare real bids, and last month we rolled out v2 including a free scope generator, available to every user, that helps you put together a clear scope of work before you even start collecting bids. We're officially launching on Product Hunt July 21st and would love your feedback in the meantime. If you've been burned by a confusing bid before, what would've helped you most in that moment?
Love how it pulls out vague line items as a separate red flag category instead of burying them. Honestly that kind of detail is what makes the comparison actually useful instead of just another spreadsheet.
Love how you flag vague line items as red flags instead of just listing them—that's the kind of detail most comparison tools miss.
