FieldPulse vs Contractor Autopilot
FieldPulse is custom quote — seat-based, bought for a contract term; no price is published — 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 FieldPulse does well
Modern, well-built app with good estimating and a real mobile experience for techs.
Best for: Growing crews that want a modern app and are fine paying per seat.
Where it leaves you exposed
- →Per seat, bought up front for the contract term — every office admin and tech you add is another seat.
- →No website, no Google Business Profile, no social or review automation.
- →No AI receptionist — missed calls stay missed.
One app for the whole business — finally
A good job app that still needs a marketing stack bolted to it.
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
Hiring stops costing you software money, and the front of the business stops being four separate systems.
What it really costs to run FieldPulse
Until now, nobody ran a contracting business on one app. Here is the rest of the bill you are still paying.
| FieldPulse, 4 seats | quoted |
| Answering service | $300+/mo |
| Website + hosting | $50–$300/mo |
| SEO / social / reviews | $350–$1,600/mo |
| Typical all-in | FieldPulse plus $700–$2,200/mo of other vendors |
| Contractor Autopilot — all of it, one bill | $149–$499/mo |

What it costs at 1, 5 and 10 people
Their price grows with your crew. Ours does not — every plan is unlimited users, so the tenth hire costs you nothing in software.
| Crew size | FieldPulse | + what it doesn't include | Their all-in | Contractor Autopilot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Just you | $99/mo | $850/mo | $949/mo | $499/mo |
| 5 people | $495/mo | $850/mo | $1,345/mo | $499/mo |
| 10 people | $990/mo | $850/mo | $1,840/mo | $499/mo |
At five people that is $1,345 a month — more than Autopilot Pro — and it still does not answer your phone, build your website, or ask your customers for reviews.
Same money buys the whole business instead of one slice of it: 60+ features across all five stages, unlimited users, one bill.
FieldPulse does not publish pricing, so their column uses the rates customers report — ask them for a written quote and hold it against this. "What it doesn't include" is the same basket every time: answering service ~$300, website and hosting ~$150, reviews and social ~$100, local SEO help ~$300. Our column is Autopilot Pro at $499/mo — everything, unlimited users. Starter is $149 and Autopilot is $399.

The honest verdict
FieldPulse is a nice product with a pricing model that punishes you for growing. Ours is one price whether you are one truck or six, and it includes the phone and the website.
We aren't for everyone
Stay on FieldPulse if any of this is you. We would rather lose the sale than take money from a contractor we make worse off.
- —You are happy with it and paying one bill. Being happy is a good reason to stay.
- —Your books live in QuickBooks Desktop. Our QuickBooks connection is not live in production yet, and there is no two-way Desktop sync coming. Do not break month-end for a website.
- —You run 10 or more techs with memberships, commission plans and a real dispatch board. That is ServiceTitan's job. We would be a downgrade and we will say so.
- —You are mid-contract. What you still owe on a term deal is real money, not sunk cost — put us on your renewal date instead of paying two bills.
- —You already have more leads than you can work and only need to send invoices. A bundle you do not use is not a saving.
None of that you? Then the rest of this page is worth your ten minutes.
