The short answer
Clevra is the JobTread alternative for service, inspection and repair crews
JobTread is construction project management for remodelers and builders: estimating, budgets, purchase orders, job costing and portals, with a strong set of AI tools. It is one plan at $199 a month plus a fee for each extra office user. Clevra is built for the work that comes in as calls and visits: dispatch, recurring visits, inspection checklists and invoices, from $49 a month for 5 users, with an AI Receptionist and AI-written inspection reports.
Choose Clevra if
- You run visits, tests and inspections more than long remodels
- You want a dispatch map and two-way texting

Choose JobTread if
- You run remodels and builds with budgets, POs and change orders

Billed monthly in US dollars. JobTread offers 20% off yearly and free seats for field crew who only upload photos, log daily notes, view the schedule or check off tasks. Clevra Pro is $39 and Business $79 billed yearly.
What makes Clevra different
From the first call to the paid invoice, in one app
JobTread follows one project from bid to closeout. Clevra follows the visit: the call, the booking, the checklist on site, the report and the invoice, many times a week.
- 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.

- 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.

AI that takes the office work off your plate
