Switching from Moraware

A Moraware alternative built inside a granite shop.

CounterQuotes replaces CounterGo and Systemize with one $100 seat — the drawing prices itself as you draw, the schedule drafts itself when the quote is won, and your customers can accept online and watch the job move. On Moraware's published pricing, a person who does both jobs costs $220 a month.

Why shops look

The four complaints we built against.

1

Double licensing

Quoting is CounterGo, $100 a user. Scheduling is Systemize, $120 a user with a three-user minimum. An estimator who also schedules — most of a small shop's office — needs both: $220 a head. CounterQuotes is one $100 seat with everything in it, including 2 free crew seats per office seat.

2

No digital quote acceptance

Moraware's own help docs confirm CounterGo has no built-in e-signature — customers print, sign, and scan, or you bolt on a third-party tool. In CounterQuotes, the customer opens the quote link, types their name, and you get evidence-grade acceptance with a frozen copy of exactly what they approved.

3

No customer portal

"Any update on my counters?" is a phone call in Moraware. CounterQuotes ships a portal where customers see their quotes and job status, confirm appointments, and approve work — dates appear only when you publish them. And before they're a customer at all, a draw-your-countertop page on your website turns visitors into pipeline leads with the drawing attached.

4

Manual slab layout

CounterGo lets you arrange pieces on a slab by hand. CounterQuotes auto-nests the pieces, matches veins across seams, and reports the yield percentage — so the material line on the quote is the layout, not a guess with a fudge factor.

The bill, side by side

What the same office pays per month.

From Moraware's published pricing, July 2026. Seats are office users — estimators, planners, the production manager, the owner — and "dual-role" means someone who both quotes and schedules.

Office users CounterQuotes Moraware
CounterGo + Systemize
2 owner + estimator, both dual-role $200 ~$560 Systemize has a 3-user minimum
5 all dual-role $500 $1,100
6 typical 10-person shop: 3 estimators + 3 ops $600 ~$950
10 all dual-role $1,000 $1,850
Field crew of 4 phone app — schedule, job cards, photos, sign-off +$0 2 crew seats included per office seat not seated; printed job packets

Moraware's numbers are from its published pricing page, July 2026 — CounterGo $100/user, Systemize $120/user with a 3-user minimum, users 6+ at $50.

The roadmap

Every feature we ship next is already yours.

No tiers, no add-on modules, no features held hostage on a bigger plan. Slab inventory and purchase orders and forms and checklists are next on the bench — job files and the crew phone app just shipped, straight into the same $100 seat. In the Moraware world, capabilities like these arrive as separate products and per-user add-ons.

We were built inside one working granite shop and help every new shop move in personally — which means early shops get a real say in what gets built next. The full comparison has the complete feature matrix, priced from the vendors' own pages.

Moving day

We migrate with you.

Switching tools is moving day, and nobody helps on moving day. Migration from Moraware is concierge, not a CSV upload: we move your customers, price book, and quote history in with you, then check the result against real quotes before go-live. New shops jump the line.

Questions

Asked by every switching shop.

Why do shops leave Moraware?
The reasons we hear most: cost — a dual-role office user needs CounterGo and Systemize, $220 a month on their published pricing — plus no built-in digital quote acceptance (their own help docs confirm it), no customer portal, and slab layout that's manual arranging rather than yield-optimized nesting.
Will you move my data out of Moraware?
Yes. Migration is concierge, not a self-serve importer: we move your customers, price book, and quote history in with you and check the result against real quotes before go-live.
Does CounterQuotes work with QuickBooks Desktop?
Yes — both are live. QuickBooks Desktop syncs through Intuit's Web Connector, and QuickBooks Online connects in a couple of clicks.
Can it capture leads from my website?
Yes — every shop gets a public "draw your countertop" page to link from a Get-a-quote button on its website. The homeowner draws their space in a guided wizard, picks up to three colors from your catalog, and attaches photos; it lands on your pipeline as a website lead with the drawing attached. Accepting it creates the customer and a draft quote with the drawing already loaded. No price is ever shown to the homeowner — you price it.
What's next on the roadmap?
Slab inventory and purchase orders, plus forms and checklists — job files and the crew phone app just shipped. Every new feature lands in the same $100 seat — no bigger plan, no add-on — and early shops get a real say in the sequence. The comparison page has the full feature matrix.
Is there a contract or setup fee?
No contract — $100 per office seat per month, 2 crew seats included with every office seat (extras $5), everything included, first month free. Prefer one invoice a year? Pay up front and get 2 months free.
