• Cloud-Based Accessibility: Costblok is fully cloud-based, accessible from anywhere with internet, while WinQS requires physical dongles and works offline, limiting flexibility.

• User Experience & Interface: Costblok offers a more modern and user-friendly interface, simplifying tasks beyond pricing, like fee proposals, feasibilities, and payment certificates. WinQS, while powerful in pricing/budget features, lacks such a comprehensive workflow.

• Complete User Flow: WinQS mainly focuses on compiling pricing documents. In contrast, Costblok covers a broader range, from budget imports to additional features like fee proposals and payment certificates, even though it’s not as advanced in pricing.

• Easy Signup & Immediate Access: Costblok provides instant signup with no delays, unlike WinQS, which involves emailing and mailing dongles for access.

• Affordability: Costblok offers flexible, no-signup-cost pricing with month-to-month or annual subscriptions. WinQS typically involves upfront costs and maintenance fees.

• Compatibility: Costblok is compatible with all operating systems, whereas WinQS is restricted to Windows and requires high-spec machines for optimal performance.
