The estimator gives you a range. This gets you real numbers. Your details go to up to three licensed electricians who work in your postcode — there is no charge to you and no obligation to hire anyone.

The most common unpleasant surprise is a quote given over the phone that changes once the electrician sees the panel. Send a photo of your panel with the door open and the label visible, and most of that disappears.
