The short answer
Clevra is the Contractor+ alternative with a free plan you can grow on and a flat price for the crew
Contractor+ packs a lot into one app: CRM, scheduling, a business phone system, financing through Wisetack, AI estimating and an AI call answerer called Big Chief. Its free plan stops at 5 estimates or invoices a month, Pro Team is $58 a month for 2 users plus $20 for each extra user, and the next plan is $500. Clevra Free has unlimited estimates and invoices, and Pro is $49 a month for up to 5 people with inspection checklists, AI-written reports and the AI Receptionist.

What makes Clevra different
From the first call to the paid invoice, in one app
Contractor+ adds sales and marketing tools to the job. Clevra stays focused on the work itself and does it in fewer clicks: the call, the estimate, the booking, the checklist, the report and the invoice.

- 6Get paidTap Generate Invoice on the job. The client pays by card from the link or the portal.
One price for the whole crew
Clevra charges per company, not per user. Pro is $49 a month for up to 5 people and Business is $99 for up to 15. Adding a tech never changes the bill.
Inspection checklists and PDF reports
Number, dropdown, yes/no, date, photo and signature fields with required answers. The client gets the PDF by email and in their portal. Pro and up.
A free plan you can actually run
One user, unlimited clients, estimates, scheduling, invoices and online card payments. No card, no time limit.
AI that takes the office work off your plate
Contractor+ has AI estimating and an AI call answerer, but its pricing page doesn't say which plan includes Big Chief AI or what it costs. Clevra's AI Receptionist and AI-written inspection reports are part of Pro at $49 a month.
