The best software for
sandblasting businesses.

Full disclosure: BlastBid is our product, so weigh this entry accordingly. It does one trade. The estimating engine ships with consumption rates for 10 media types across 4 coating conditions and production rates by surface complexity, so a bid takes about a minute: pick a preset, enter surface area, choose media, done.

It is also the only tool here built offline-first. Native iOS and Android apps plus the web dashboard all work with zero signal and sync when you're back in range, which matters at tank farms, refineries, and rural jobs. Estimates flow into jobs, before/after photos, invoices, and payment tracking in one thread, and the free OSHA silica documentation tools are included.

BlastPro is the estimating app inside BlastTrader, which spans sandblasting, dry ice, shot blasting, laser cleaning, and pressure washing. You get estimating, invoicing, scheduling, and online payments for the lowest sticker price on this list, plus a marketplace, contractor directory, and jobs board.

It runs in the browser (PWA), so it needs a connection, and its blasting defaults are lighter than a dedicated engine. If the marketplace and community are the draw, it's a lot of platform for $12.

QuoteIQ handles quoting, scheduling, job documentation, invoicing, and customer follow-up, with AI automations at the higher tiers. It comes from the pressure-washing world and markets to sandblasters as an adjacent trade. Worth noting: the widely-cited 'top 8 sandblasting software' roundup ranking QuoteIQ first is published by QuoteIQ.

There's no blasting-specific estimating math, so you bring your own media and production numbers, but the CRM and follow-up automation are stronger than anything trade-specific.

Jobber is polished, widely used, and does scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and payments well for any service trade. Nothing in it knows what garnet costs or how long a heavy mill scale flat takes, so every bid starts from a blank line item.

If your bottleneck is running crews and routes rather than building bids, Jobber is a safe pick with a huge support ecosystem.

Housecall Pro competes head-on with Jobber: scheduling, estimates, invoicing, card payments, and review management, aimed at residential home services. For a blasting business doing mostly residential work (fences, pools, houses) it covers the office side fine, with the same caveat: the estimating is generic.

ServiceTitan has the deepest dispatch, reporting, and call-center tooling of anything on this list. It's built for operations with dozens of techs and full-time office staff, and priced like it. A 3-person mobile blasting crew buying ServiceTitan is the classic 'software built for a 30-person operation' mistake; a 40-person industrial coatings contractor is exactly who it's for.
