Everything you need to know about Estimaton.
Estimaton is a specialized SaaS platform designed for software engineers and project managers to create high-precision project estimates using AI and PERT logic.

It is built for freelancers, software agencies, and tech leads who need to provide accurate budget and timeline projections to stakeholders.
Yes, it's completely free to use.
While optimized for tech (coding, QA, design), the PERT logic is universal and works for construction, marketing, or consulting.
No. You can share professional, password-protected links with your clients for free or share exported documents.

It is a mathematical technique that uses Optimistic, Most Likely, and Pessimistic values to calculate a realistic weighted average.
It’s a proprietary metric that measures the risk level based on the spread between your best and worst-case scenarios.
Our AI compares your task description against millions of anonymized industry data points to suggest realistic hour ranges.
It shows the statistical probability of your project finishing on time. A lower deviation means a more predictable project.
No. The PERT formula ( (O + 4M + P) / 6 ) automatically balances it, but seeing the Pessimistic value helps you plan for 'black swan' events.
We recommend adding a 'Discovery' phase to your estimate or using our global contingency buffer tool.
No, currently we use well trained models for generating scope based on project information and documents and estimate scope based on provided information.
A buffer is for known risks in a task; a contingency is a global project-level safety net for unexpected changes.
We suggest a 'Mid-Project Check-in' to update your estimate based on the actual speed of development.
We use encrypted MongoDB instances hosted on secure, GDPR-compliant European servers.
Absolutely not. Your project scopes and private estimates are never shared with external models for training models.
Estimaton is built using Next.js, NestJS, and MongoDB, ensuring high performance and real-time updates.
Currently not, but will be available for Pro and Enterprise users who want to sync estimates with their internal CRM.
