Why contractors look past Service Autopilot
Service Autopilot is built for route businesses: lawn care, landscaping, snow removal, cleaning, pest control and pools. Startup is $49 a month plus a sign-up fee with one business user and one mobile license. Pro is $199 and adds route optimization, a dispatch calendar and job costing. Pro Plus is $499 and adds automations. Prices are yearly subscription rates.
Two-way texting, QuickBooks sync and the client portal are on Elite, which is priced on request, or sold as add-ons with a call for pricing. Owners who want those on day one, or who do not want a yearly term and a sign-up fee, compare it with tools that publish a monthly price.
