Pilot Partner Program
Start free. The program is something you ask us for.
Start free — that part’s open to everybody. No card, every trade, the full close.
This page is about something smaller. A handful of contractors who’ll actually use it, then tell us what’s wrong with it. If that’s you, keep reading.
The pilot partner deal, in plain numbers.
The regular ladder is Solo $99, Crew $249, Full boat $499 a month.
Qualify as a pilot partner and buy a year — you pay half price, and your first 90 days are free on top.
-
Half off, whichever tier fits
Solo, Crew or Full boat — cut in half for the whole year. You buy the year up front. That’s the part that makes it real on both sides.
-
Your first 90 days free, on top of that
Call it the first ninety or the last ninety, it doesn’t matter. You pay for twelve months and you get fifteen.
-
You owe us four phone calls
That’s the whole bill on your side. Four calls, and the honest version on each one.
-
A hand in what gets built
What you tell us on call one shows up in the product by call three. You’ll watch it happen, because you’re the one who caused it.
That’s the deal in one line: half price for a year, fifteen months of it, and four phone calls.
Qualify yourself. Tell us about your business.
We’re not taking sign-ups here — you’ve already got that, it’s one click on the site. This is for the pilot partner program specifically: real feedback, real phone calls, a seat at the table while we build.
Start your free trial first. Then, if you want in on this part, email us: support@instabid.pro
Tell us:
-
Your business
What you do, what trades you run.
-
How many years
How long you’ve been doing it.
-
What kinds of projects
Size, type, the work you actually see most weeks.
-
Why you’d be a good source of feedback
Not a sales pitch on yourself — just the honest version of what you’d actually tell us if something didn’t work.
That’s it. No form, no checkbox. A real email from you, about your business, is the qualification. If we think you’re a fit, we’ll reach out about what the program looks like.
What being a pilot partner actually gets you
This isn’t just “prove yourself and hope.” Here’s the other side of the trade:
-
A locked-in rate that doesn’t move
As long as you keep using it, your price stays your price — no ratchet, no surprise increase down the line.
-
My actual phone number
Not a support queue, not a ticket. My cell. You’ll be one of a small number of people, and I intend to pick up.
-
First look at what’s next
New trades, new features — pilot partners see it before anybody else does, and get a say before it ships.
-
A real seat at the table
What you tell us on call one shows up in the product by call three. You’ll watch it happen, because you’re the one who caused it.
That’s the trade, both directions: you give us the honest calls, we give you the price, the access, and my number.
It isn’t free. The price is your feedback.
Here’s the trade, and I want to be exact about it so nobody’s surprised.
You owe us four phone calls. Time out of your week, on top of running your business.
-
One early on
While everything is still confusing and you haven’t gotten used to the rough edges yet. That call is worth more than the rest combined, and you can only give it to us once.
-
Three more as you go
Spaced out across the year.
And we want the real thing on those calls. What’s confusing. What’s wrong for your market. What the form doesn’t ask that it should. What you tried to do and couldn’t figure out. Where it wasted your time instead of saving it.
Tell us what’s good too — we need to know what to protect as much as what to fix.
You’re not just a customer in this program. You’re a pilot partner. We’re building this for guys who do what you do, and we can’t do that guessing at what your Tuesday looks like. So help us build it. Tell us what you want in it. Tell us what’s missing.
We’ll also ask, later, whether you’d be willing to say publicly if it worked. If it did, great. If it didn’t, we want to hear that even more.
Who this is actually for
A working contractor. Somebody who’s on a job site this week, who writes his own estimates at night, and who’s lost work because he couldn’t get a number back fast enough.
That’s it. Solo guy with a helper, three-truck outfit, a GC running remodels — doesn’t matter. What matters is you’re doing the work, not managing people who do the work. This was built for the guy at the kitchen table at 9pm, and that’s who it fits.
Who it isn’t for: somebody who wants to poke at it for a week and disappear. Not because we’ll be annoyed — because you’d be taking a slot from a guy who’ll actually use it, and the whole point is finding out what breaks in the real world.

The honest part
This isn’t finished. There are trades we want deeper. There’s a feature list we’re still working through. You will find something that’s wrong.
We’d rather tell you that now than have you find out in week two and feel lied to.
What we’ll promise is this: you can see every number before it goes out, you can change any of them, and the thing that keeps us up at night is the same thing that keeps you up — that a bad number goes to a customer with your name on it. We’ve built the whole company around making that impossible.
Start free. If you want the pilot partner program, email support@instabid.pro and tell us about your business.
You like it? Good — we’re here to help. You don’t? That’s fine too.
