The short answer
Clevra is the Projul alternative for crews that run visits, not just big projects
Projul is construction project management: estimates, change orders, Gantt schedules, job costing and daily logs, sold in flat plans from $249 a month ($199 billed yearly). E-signatures, card payments and the full mobile app start on Core at $399 a month billed yearly. Projul says it may not fit if you only need a simple invoicing or scheduling tool. Clevra is built for service work: estimates, dispatch, recurring visits, inspection checklists, invoices and payments from $49 a month, with an AI Receptionist and AI-written reports on Pro.
Choose Clevra if
- You run service calls, inspections or tests, often many in a day
- You need dispatch with a map view and two-way texting
- You want e-signed estimates and card payments without a $399 plan
- You want an AI Receptionist and AI-written inspection reports
Choose Projul if
- You run remodels or builds that last weeks, with Gantt schedules
- You need change orders, selections, takeoffs and purchase orders
- You want native apps with GPS clock-in and Spanish (Pro plan)
- You want ACH payments and QuickBooks Desktop
Billed monthly. Projul is $199, $399 and $599 a month billed yearly; Clevra Pro is $39 and Business $79.
What makes Clevra different
From the first call to the paid invoice, in one app
Projul is built for one long job at a time. Clevra is built for the day full of visits: the call, the booking, the checklist on site, the report and the invoice, again and again.
- 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.
