Contractor Foreman vs Contractor Autopilot
Contractor Foreman is $49–$249/mo depending on tier — and it is one piece of your business. Contractor Autopilot is $149–$499/mo flat for the whole company, unlimited users: one source of truth, 60+ features from the missed call to the paid invoice. No integrations to build, nothing to keep in sync.
What Contractor Foreman does well
Enormous feature checklist for the price — estimates, scheduling, safety, daily logs, purchase orders.
Best for: Budget-minded contractors who want a lot of construction modules for very little money.
Where it leaves you exposed
- →Broad but shallow: many modules are basic, and the interface shows its age.
- →No AI receptionist, no website, no Google or review automation.
- →Cheap software still leaves you buying the four things that actually bring in work.
One app for the whole business — finally
The cheapest line item on a bill that still has four other line items.
The call, the lead, the quote, the job, the invoice, the review and the website all live on the same customer record. Your whole crew and your office get their own login — we never charge per seat.
Get found, capture leads, quote & close, run jobs, get paid — the whole business, not one slice of it.
No Zapier, no CSV exports, no paying a consultant to wire your tools together every time something changes.
The time it gives you back
One source instead of five disconnected systems, and no evening spent copying a lead from the phone into the software.

The honest verdict
Contractor Foreman is the best value on paper and the classic trap: you save $100 on software and still spend $700 on the answering service, the website and the marketing help. Buy the whole business in one place instead.
Questions contractors ask
Why pay more than $49/mo?
Because the $49 does not answer your phone, build your website, or ask your customers for reviews. Compare the whole bill, not the software line.
