The short answer
Clevra is the published-price alternative to Successware that you can start today
Successware is an all-in-one platform for home service companies with an office team and technicians, with its own accounting, call taking and pricebook, sold by quote with a 4-6 week implementation. Clevra publishes its prices, starts free, and works with QuickBooks Online: 1 to 15 users on self-serve plans, unlimited on Custom.
Choose Clevra if
- You want to see the price and start today
- You work solo or run a small crew without a back office
- You keep your books in QuickBooks Online
- You run inspections and send clients PDF reports with photos and signatures
Choose Successware if
- You want accounting built into your field service software instead of QuickBooks
- You take a lot of calls and want call queues and recording in the same system
- You price from a flat-rate pricebook and stock parts on trucks
What makes Clevra different
Every stage of the job, captured on site and turned into a report
Clevra is built around the site capture layer: technicians record what they find at each stage of the job, and Clevra turns it into a complete, client-ready report. It is made for inspection trades, where the report is the product.

- 2InspectAnswer the checklist, record readings and note every finding.
- 3CaptureAdd photos to each finding and collect the client's signature.
