"Plan" makes me think of building/construction plans, even you describe it as a new "estimating" tool, so why not estimatelike.pro? (or any alternative that more closely connects the tool to the concept of "estimating"). For any given problem, I always think that the model (or "business logic") comes first, and then the GUI. I have no idea from you website what's the underlying model for your tool. From browsing the…

These are valid points, thanks for sharing. Will think how can I improve it

Congratulations on launching! A couple of quick nits that come to mind: 1. On the pricing page, you seem to use commas (',') as decimal separators despite the price in USD. In the US, a period ('.') is customary as a decimal separator while commas are used to separate groups of three digits, ie: 100,000.001 2. Pricing itself: free should just show "$0" without decimals; on that note, for a professional tool, flat num…

Thanks. I like your ideas, especially SSO, that's definitely could be one more selling point for big clients

1. There's no indication of who created this (name, surname, legal adress). 2. Few indications the creator is not that customer oriented 2.1. Fake testimonials 2.2. Onboarding flow says I should create an avatar so that they better understand their customers "Help us to better understand our customers" - dude if you build a product for someone, your end goal is helping them, not yourself. 2.2. During onboarding, my default avatar is a bearded caucasian man - dude, the world is diverse. 2.3. language like "Discover killer features" is really a red flag

Slick idea, thanks for sharing. Two minor points: 1.Some of the language on the site feels very 'translated to English'. One example: "It’s better try it once than read it many times". 2. The landing page says it's for "Simple cost estimation and planning"; The Features page presents it as a project management tool with client-sharing features. That feels like two overlapping but different use cases/audiences.

Yeah its definitely not a project management tool, rather project estimation with client sharing features, where your client can enable/disable some features that he thinks he needs/doesnt PS: About being "too English" - yeah I'm from Ukraine, so English is not my native, but I'll do best!

Your English is fantastic, I'm just being nitpicky. Some native speakers might see certain things and judge the product accordingly, so just a minor point.
