The short answer
Hearth helps your customers pay. Clevra runs the job they're paying for.
Hearth started as a customer financing marketplace and still leads with it: 18+ lenders, monthly payments on your estimates, and Hearth Pay. Around that it adds estimates, scheduling, a CRM and an AI receptionist called Harper on a higher tier. Its pricing page shows no prices. Clevra is a full field service app with published prices: dispatch, recurring visits, inspection checklists, AI-written reports, invoices and an AI Receptionist from $49 a month.
Choose Clevra if
- You need dispatch, recurring visits, job costing and timesheets, not just selling
- You want to see the price before you talk to sales
- Your jobs end in an inspection or condition report
- You want an AI Receptionist on the same plan as your checklists
Choose Hearth if
- Customer financing is how you close big home improvement jobs
- You want monthly payment amounts shown on every estimate
- You want Tap to Pay on iPhone and ACH today
- You mainly need lead follow-up and payments, not field operations
Hearth shows no prices on gethearth.com/pricing. 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
Hearth is strongest at the kitchen table, when the homeowner is deciding how to pay. Clevra covers the rest of the job: the booking, the crew, the checklist on site, the report and the invoice.
