How we compare

Common gaps on competitor sites — and what ClientTools does differently.

  • nationalgypsum.com: Rigid B2B layout—unfriendly to DIY homeowners
  • USG.com: Calculator buried deep in the site and pushes a required app download
  • calculator.net: Shows drywall sheet count only—no linked breakdown for screws and joint compound
