The short answer
Clevra is the Estimate Rocket alternative that runs the whole job, from the call to the inspection report
Estimate Rocket is a solid estimating and proposal tool for contractors in growth mode, with a CRM, scheduling and invoicing built around it. Its plans start at $139 a month for 3 users, and every extra office user costs more. Clevra starts free, Pro is $49 a month for up to 5 people, and it covers what happens after the estimate too: on-site checklists, AI-written inspection reports and an AI Receptionist for the calls you miss.
Choose Clevra if
- You want to pay one flat price for the crew, not a fee per office user
- Your work ends in a report: inspections, scanning, testing, condition checks
- You want an AI Receptionist to catch calls while you are on site
- You want a free plan to start and a 14-day trial of the paid plans, no card
Choose Estimate Rocket if
- Detailed proposals with add-ons clients can pick are how you sell
- You want ACH bank payments from US clients today
- You run a franchise and need its franchise module
- You want online booking through YouCanBookMe
Billed monthly, in US dollars. Estimate Rocket field-only users are $10 a month each on top. Clevra Pro is $39 and Business $79 a month billed yearly.
What makes Clevra different
From the first call to the paid invoice, in one app
Estimate Rocket is strongest before the job starts. Clevra keeps going after the estimate is signed: the booking, the checklist on site, the report the client is waiting for, and the invoice.
- 1CallThe AI Receptionist picks up when you can't, asks what the client needs and drops the request in your inbox.
- 2EstimatePrice the work from your price book and send it. The client approves online with a typed name or a drawn signature.
- 3BookPut the job on the calendar. Clevra sends the confirmation and the day-before reminder for you.
- 4InspectFill your checklist on site: readings, yes/no answers, photos and the client signature.
- 5ReportClevra drafts the inspection report from what you recorded. Read it, adjust it, send the PDF.
- 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
Estimate Rocket says "+ AI" on its homepage, but we could not find an AI feature described on its site. In Clevra, AI answers the phone, writes the report and answers questions about your business.
AI Receptionist
Answers calls while you're on a job, asks what the caller needs and puts the request in your inbox. Pro and up.
AI-written inspection reports
