The Verdict
Handoff does estimating. arkiTrace does the complete proposal pipeline.

At €1,199 vs $239, arkiTrace costs more but replaces $650–2,150 of manual work per proposal. Different products for different needs. If you just need estimates, Handoff works. If you need to WIN jobs with visual proposals, arkiTrace.
