If you want estimates, invoices, scheduling, QuickBooks, SMS, time tracking, and route optimization — all in one app — Scout Pro gives you everything for $49/month. Jobber and Housecall Pro charge 4–7x more to reach the same point.
A contractor CRM needs to handle the whole business — not just one piece of it. That means customer records with full job history, estimates with e-signatures before work starts, invoices that collect payment on the spot, a job calendar your whole crew can see, time tracking so you know what you're actually paying in labor, and financial reporting so you know if you're making money.
Most contractor software either covers all of this at a high price, or covers some of it cheaply and makes you upgrade for the rest. Scout Pro covers all of it at $49/month — no tiers, no per-seat fees, no feature locked behind a higher plan.

Scout Pro is built for contractors — residential, commercial, or both. One plan, one price, everything included. No seat limits. No feature tiers. The tools that other platforms spread across $79–$349/month plans are all here from day one.

Jobber's Core plan is $49/month — the same as Scout Pro — but it's limited to 1 user and strips out most of what makes a CRM useful: no QuickBooks, no SMS, no automated follow-ups, no time tracking, no checklists, no P&L. To match Scout Pro's feature set, you need the Grow plan at $199/month — still for just 1 user.
