Bid Leveler

The lowest number is not the lowest bid. Bid Leveler — subcontractor bid levelling and comparison software for general contractors in North America, Europe and Australia

A dozen quotes arrive in a dozen formats. Bid Leveler levels them to one scope and tells you what each bid would actually cost.

Before you start

Questions about Bid Leveler.

Which plan opens Bid Leveler?

Pro and Firm. Pro is $499 a month for all eight programs and up to five seats; Firm is $1,199 for up to twenty. The five plans.

Is there a free trial?

The free trials are on Solo and Field, and neither opens Bid Leveler. Send us the quotes that came back and we will level them with you first.

Does the AI decide the levelled numbers?

No. Coverage classification, gap detection, valuation, commercial normalisation and severity run on rules, the other bids and your own data, and every adjustment traces to a quote, a line and a basis you can check. MaraponeAI explains, prioritises and drafts.

Does it make the award decision?

No. Levelled figures are indicative and rate-table valuations are estimates by design — confirm against live pricing before relying on them. Bid Leveler informs an award decision; it does not make one.

Where do my documents go?

To a workspace scoped to your account, on Marapone’s own infrastructure, read by our own model. No third-party AI vendor is in the path and nothing you upload trains any model. Cancel from your dashboard with no notice period, and your work exports to PDF, Excel and CSV.
