What the prices leave out
Fergus is listed first on a starting figure. Essentials is printed as from $31 a month without saying how many users that covers, so it is the price to beat only once Fergus has quoted your crew. Contractor Foreman has estimates on every plan, Basic included, but Basic is a single user sold by the year at $588, so a crew of five is on Plus: $199 a month, or $1,997 paid yearly, for up to eight people. It also offers a 30 day trial and a 100 day money back guarantee.
CompanyCam is a job photo tool first and is usually run beside a scheduling tool rather than instead of one. Its estimates start on Crew, $149 a month for three users plus $34 for each extra, which is $217 for five. Kickserv names estimates without saying which plan carries them, so it is listed but not ranked. HOVER sells exterior measurements by the project, from $59 to $139 a model on Starter, which makes it something to add to an estimating tool rather than a replacement for one. mHelpDesk names estimates and publishes no price at all.

How this list was made
A platform is on this page when its own site names construction, its pricing page names estimates or quotes, and it publishes a price. They are ordered by what a crew of 5 pays on the cheapest published plan that covers five people, and by nothing else: no score, no star rating and no say for the companies that pay us a commission. Each is priced on the cheapest plan its pricing page says includes estimates or quotes. A plan priced by routes, jobs or active customers is not ranked against them, because the size of the crew does not decide what it costs, and nor is a platform whose pricing page does not say which plan includes estimates or quotes, so those come last with the reason beside them. The answer by crew size is the same rule the picker runs, so the two will not disagree. We have not run any of these on live jobs, and nothing here is written as though we had. Prices change, so check the current figure with the vendor before you buy.
