Getting started
What do I need to run iScope Cloud?
A current browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox) on Windows, Mac, iPad or Chromebook, and an internet connection. There is nothing to download or install, and updates arrive automatically.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new account starts with a free 3-day trial with all features enabled.
How long does it take to learn?
Most people sketch and price their first room in the first sitting. The training videos walk through each screen, and you can schedule a live online training session with an iScope trainer.
Pricing data
Where do the prices come from?
From a national construction cost catalog that is refreshed every month. Labor is adjusted to the loss ZIP code using government wage statistics, so the same line item prices differently in Honolulu, Houston or Miami.
Can I use my own prices?
Yes. My Price List lets you override any catalog item with your own price, and you can add custom items that are not in the catalog.
How often does the catalog change?
Monthly. Each estimate records the pricing month it was built with.
Sketch, imports and estimates
Do I have to draw every room?
No. You can import CubiCasa or iGuide floor plan files to create rooms with real dimensions, and EagleView roof report PDFs to fill roof quantities. You can also estimate a room without a sketch by typing quantities.
What are Macros?
Saved bundles of line items you apply with one click, such as a standard water-damage drywall and paint scope, or a full roof replacement. A set of standard Macros comes with the account and you can build your own.
Does iScope handle depreciation, ACV, tax and O&P?
Yes. Tax, overhead and profit, depreciation, RCV and ACV are calculated per estimate with settings you control.
Can I export to PDF?
Yes. Estimate PDFs and photo reports use your letterhead, signature, and opening and closing statements.
Teams, data and billing
Can my team share projects?
Yes. The company owner adds team members at $20 a month each; everyone works in the company's projects with their own login.
Is my data backed up?
Yes. Projects are backed up to encrypted off-site storage every day, and the health of those backups is monitored.
How do I cancel?
From your account. The subscription is month to month and you can cancel at any time.
How do I get help?
Email support@iscopesoftware.com or call (808) 829-1028 for prompt support, and book an independent iScope trainer for one-on-one online training.
