PaintClarity is job and business management software for professional painters and painting contractors, from solo operators to businesses with multiple crews. It supports estimates and quotes, crew scheduling, customer and project management, production-rate tracking, card payments, and job-profit reporting. Quotes can include painting-specific scopes, inclusions and exclusions, itemized or lump-sum pricing, PDF output, online acceptance, and e-signatures. A free visualizer previews paint colors on chosen surfaces in a photo; Pro adds an AI visualizer, with images or PDFs available for download. The schedule can be subscribed to from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. PaintClarity requires a self-hosted WordPress site with WordPress 6.0 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer. Customer, job, schedule, photo, invoice, and financial data is stored in the customer’s WordPress database and hosting account. Previously opened jobs and today’s schedule can be read offline, but creating quotes requires a connection. The free plan has no time limit; Pro costs $45 per month per site.
