Honest comparison · updated August 2026

FieldPulse vs Contractor Autopilot

FieldPulse is around $99 per user per month on the popular 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 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 user. Add an office admin and two techs and you are past $400/mo before marketing.
  • 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.

1
source of truth, unlimited users

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.

60+
features, five stages

Get found, capture leads, quote & close, run jobs, get paid — the whole business, not one slice of it.

0
integrations to build

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.

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.
