BlastPro is the estimating app inside BlastTrader, a platform that also includes a marketplace, contractor directory, jobs board, and community hub. It covers five industries: sandblasting, dry ice, shot blasting, laser cleaning, and pressure washing. For $12 a month you get estimating, invoicing, scheduling, a profitability calculator, and online payments. It runs in a browser and is ad-supported.
BlastBid does one thing: sandblasting. Native iOS and Android apps that work fully offline. Consumption rates for 10 media types across 4 coating conditions. Production rates by surface complexity. Free compliance tools like OSHA silica plans and SSPC/NACE/ISO standards reference. No marketplace, no ads, no five-industry juggle. Just the workflow that takes you from bid to check.
No credit card required.
BlastPro is part of BlastTrader, which is a marketplace, contractor directory, jobs board, knowledge hub, and estimating app rolled into one platform across five industries. That breadth is useful if you want classifieds and community in the same place as your estimates.
BlastBid only does sandblasting. That means deeper defaults out of the box: consumption rates for 10 media types (crushed glass, coal slag, garnet, aluminum oxide, and more) across 4 coating conditions (light, medium, heavy, lead paint), production rates by surface complexity, and job presets for auto, residential, marine, commercial, and industrial work. Plus compliance tools BlastPro does not offer: OSHA silica exposure control plans, a full SSPC/NACE/ISO standards cross-reference, and a waste disposal and containment estimator.
The other difference is where you work. BlastPro runs in a browser and needs a connection. BlastBid runs natively on your phone and works fully offline. Every estimate, job, and photo syncs automatically when you get back in range. For contractors working at refineries, tank farms, or rural job sites with no cell signal, that changes how you operate day to day.
BlastPro is the estimating app inside BlastTrader, a broad platform spanning five trades with a marketplace, directory, and jobs board. BlastBid does only sandblasting, as native iOS and Android apps that work fully offline, with deeper media and production rates.
Yes, on the sticker. BlastPro is $12 a month (July 2026 pricing) and BlastBid is $79 a month flat. BlastPro runs in a browser and is ad-supported, and its sandblasting defaults are basic. BlastBid is ad-free, native, offline, and built around sandblasting alone.
No. BlastPro runs in a browser and needs a connection. BlastBid runs natively on your phone and works fully offline, syncing automatically when you get back in range. That matters at refineries, tank farms, and rural sites with no signal.
No, by design. BlastBid skips the marketplace, directory, and ads to focus on the workflow from bid to check. If you want classifieds and community in the same app, BlastTrader offers that breadth.
Consumption rates for ten media types across four coating conditions, production rates by surface complexity, plus free compliance tools BlastPro does not offer: an OSHA silica exposure control plan, a full SSPC/NACE/ISO standards reference, and a waste disposal and containment estimator.
