If you're a US home improvement business that sells shade solutions and you're looking at software, One Click Contractor (now also known as One Click Estimating) and Xobuya will both come up. This page is an honest, side-by-side comparison so you can decide what fits your business, not what we'd like to sell you.
We've kept this factual. Where One Click does something better, we say so.
The short version
One Click Contractor is a US-based sales platform built by contractors for contractors in the home improvement and remodeling industry broadly: siding, roofing, windows, doors, and general remodeling. It focuses on fast estimating, virtual presentations, visual design tools, eSignature, and financing integrations through its 1LOOK lending platform.
Xobuya is a platform purpose-built for the shade solutions industry: blinds, curtains, shutters, awnings, and roller shades. It includes a conversational AI quote builder, native apps across every device, offline-first mobile workflows, and product configuration logic shaped specifically for made-to-measure shade solutions.
If you're a general home improvement contractor selling multiple product categories (siding, roofing, windows, doors, gutters) and you want one tool across them all, One Click is built for exactly that scenario.
If shade solutions are your main or only product line, Xobuya is built around how that industry actually works.

When One Click Contractor is the better choice
There are real scenarios where One Click is the right call:
You sell multiple home improvement categories, not just shade solutions. One Click is built for the broader home improvement contractor: a single team that quotes siding one week, windows the next, and roofing the week after. The platform is designed to flex across product categories. If that's your business shape, One Click's breadth fits.
You need integrated financing. One Click's 1LOOK financing platform with 90 percent approval rates is a serious advantage for high-ticket home improvement sales. If a meaningful share of your jobs depend on customer financing at the kitchen table, One Click has built-out lender relationships and a soft-pull workflow Xobuya doesn't currently match.
You sell virtually and need strong presentation tools. One Click's visual design tools and virtual presentation features were built for the pandemic era and remain strong. If a meaningful share of your sales close without an in-home visit, the presentation tooling matters.
You're embedded in the US home-improvement software ecosystem. Integrations with MarketSharp, JobNimbus, Hatch, Ingage, EagleView, and the major US financing partners (GreenSky, Sunlight) are deep. If you're already using those tools, One Click's integration footprint is a real advantage.
You're already running One Click and it's working. Software switching is real effort.
When Xobuya is the better choice
Where we think Xobuya genuinely wins:
You're a shade solutions specialist, not a generalist contractor. This is the core distinction. One Click is a horizontal tool serving multiple home improvement verticals. Xobuya is vertical, purpose-built for shade solutions. That shows up in dozens of places: fabric and colour catalogue management, drop and width measurement fields with the right validation rules, configuration logic for headrails and brackets and motorisation, supplier ordering for blinds-specific products, install scheduling for shade solutions jobs. A generalist tool can be made to work for blinds; a specialist tool was built for them.
You want AI that builds quotes from natural language. Xobuya's AI Quote Builder lets a rep describe a job in plain English ("three roller blinds in the lounge, two metres wide, blockout in charcoal, plus a roman in the bedroom") and watch the quote build itself. One Click's Fast Estimates feature speeds up estimating, but it's not conversational AI in the same sense. We've measured Xobuya's approach saving 70 to 80 percent of quote build time.
You want native apps on every device. One Click has iOS and Android apps. Xobuya adds native macOS and Windows desktop apps. Owners, office staff, and schedulers get a real desktop app, not a browser tab.
You want offline-first reliability. Xobuya is built offline-first, so a rep can keep working through a measurement, photo capture, and quote build with no signal. Everything syncs when they're back online.
You sell into both US and Australian markets, or you're AU-based. One Click is US-only. Xobuya supports both markets natively with imperial/metric switching, multi-currency, and local accounting and payment integrations for each region.
You want voice dictation in the field. A rep can dictate measurements and notes directly into the quote rather than tap them in.
You want a supplier and product structure specific to shade solutions. Xobuya's product editor is built for the made-to-measure shade solutions model: width bands, fabric upcharges per square metre or square foot, configuration items, motorisation options, and supplier-specific pricing. That structure isn't something a generalist tool replicates easily.
Switching from One Click Contractor
If you decide to move from One Click to Xobuya, we make it as painless as we can:
- Data migration, $999 AUD / $749 USD, charged once. Optional, and not part of Account Setup. We bring your existing customers, events, quotes, jobs and services across. Products are separate: load them yourself free, or have us configure them.
- Price match for 12 months. Show us your current One Click invoice and we'll match it for your first year on Xobuya.
- No long contract. Month-to-month from day one. If it's not working in 90 days, walk away.
- Hands-on onboarding. A real person walks your team through the platform.
A note on category fit
The honest framing is this: One Click Contractor is excellent at what it's built for, which is a broad home improvement contractor selling multiple product categories. If that's you, stay with them. Xobuya is excellent at what it's built for, which is a shade solutions specialist who needs deep, industry-specific product configuration, fabric and colour catalogues, supplier ordering, and the made-to-measure workflow from quote through install. If that's you, we're built around your work.
Few buyers will be on the line between the two. Pick the one shaped for your business.
