What GitaBid is
GitaBid is web software for general contractors collecting subcontractor bids. Contractors upload plans and specifications, choose trades, and send invitations that provide direct plan access. A trade-organized dashboard shows who opened an invitation, declined, or has not responded. The service sends automatic follow-up reminders and offers side-by-side bid comparison. Subcontractors can review projects and submit bids through invitation links without creating accounts or downloading an app. GitaBid is cloud based and keeps full project history. Contacts can be added by forwarding emails to an import address, sharing a sign-up link, or importing a spreadsheet. Pricing is set for the whole company rather than per user. Standard costs $49 first month, then $99/mo; Yearly costs $1,000 per year; Lifetime costs $3,500 one time. Standard and Yearly include 7-day trials without card details, and Lifetime includes future updates without renewal.
