Honest comparison · updated August 2026

Service Autopilot vs Contractor Autopilot

Service Autopilot is $97–$497/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 Service Autopilot does well

Deep automations and routing for recurring visits, with a real client portal.

Best for: Lawn and cleaning companies with dense recurring routes.

Where it leaves you exposed

  • The automation builder is powerful and genuinely hard to learn.
  • No AI receptionist — automations act on leads you already captured.
  • Website and Google presence are elsewhere.

One app for the whole business — finally

Service Autopilot is one piece of the business. The phone, the website, the reviews and the follow-up live in other systems that you keep in sync by hand.

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

One connected source: the call becomes the lead, the lead becomes the quote, the quote becomes the job, the job becomes the invoice and the review request — with nothing re-typed and no integration to maintain.

The honest verdict

Service Autopilot is good at the part it was built for. It is not the business — and the four vendors you add around it cost more than one system that covers all five stages, from getting found to getting paid.

Questions contractors ask

Is Contractor Autopilot a Service Autopilot alternative?

Yes. You get the job side Service Autopilot covers plus the parts it leaves out — a 24/7 AI receptionist, your website and domain, automatic reviews and social — for $149–$499 a month for the whole company.

How many integrations do I have to set up?

None. It is one system with one customer record, so there is nothing to connect and nothing to keep in sync.
