Honest comparison · updated August 2026

Service Fusion vs Contractor Autopilot

Service Fusion is about $225/mo for the mid tier, unlimited users — 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 Fusion does well

Flat pricing with unlimited users is genuinely contractor-friendly, and the core dispatch and invoicing work.

Best for: Companies that want unlimited users on a flat plan and mostly need dispatch and invoicing.

Where it leaves you exposed

  • The interface is dated and the mobile app is the weak point for crews in the field.
  • No marketing side at all — no website, no Google profile, no reviews, no social.
  • No AI anywhere: no estimating help, no answering, no follow-up writing.

One app for the whole business — finally

Dispatch and invoicing in one box, and the whole growth side of the business in four others.

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

No re-keying between the job system and the marketing tools, and quotes get built from a photo instead of from scratch.

At five people that is $1,075 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.
