Pricing model

Pricing changes often and each tool prices differently (per seat, per minute, per call, or usage based). Rather than freeze a number that goes stale, we link straight to each vendor’s own pricing page so you see the current model at the source.

What customers say

Verbatim public reviews, praise and complaints both, each linked to where it was posted. We do not edit or cherry-pick for tone.

Arborgold

4.5/5 · 54 reviews
Praise
That everything has a digital record. The bid and everything about the job are inside Arborgold, which makes it simple and easy to look up customers, past jobs, addresses, etc.

Complaint
When scheduling jobs through Arborgold, I would like it to integrate better with Google calendar and iPhone calendar.

Praise
Absolutely solved the problem of the estimator bidding a job and writing down the bid on a physical paper, only to have the paper lost by the bidder, office staff, or crew leader by the day of the job.

Complaint
The loading (logging in, making a query) can be very slow.

Service Autopilot

1.6/5 · 10 reviews
Praise
The ease of use to schedule, dispatch and bill for services as well as the automation's feature to automate tasks and events both internally and externally.
g2source
Complaint
The customer service is non-existent or laughable. Users look for solutions to common problems and malfunctions within the software in the Facebook user group.

Praise
An all-in-one CRM from marketing to sales to production to accounting and re-marketing cycle of clients.
g2source
Complaint
If they post anything critical of the software, they're removed and BLOCKED from the group without warning. This has caused a splinter group called 'Service Autopilot Misfits' to pop up on Facebook of people who have been blocked from the user group. It currently has over 1000 members in that private group.
