The short answer
XBuild uses AI to scope the claim. Clevra uses AI to run the visit.
XBuild is AI estimating for roofing, restoration and insurance work: it builds scopes, publishes to Xactimate and Symbility, and runs an insurance supplement service. Its ops tools need the Business plan, AI use is metered in tokens, and it doesn't publish prices. Clevra has published prices from $0 and runs the field service side: dispatch, inspection checklists, AI-written inspection reports, invoices and an AI Receptionist on Pro at $49.
Choose Clevra if
- You want to see the price and start today
- You want AI to answer calls and draft inspection reports, included in the plan price
- You run inspections, repairs, maintenance and service visits
- You want dispatch, recurring visits and two-way texting
Choose XBuild if
- Insurance claims are a big part of your work
- You publish scopes to Xactimate or Symbility
- You want AI estimates with live ABC Supply pricing
- You want an insurance supplement service
XBuild does not publish plan prices, and AI work uses tokens that pause when they run out. 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
XBuild is strongest on the estimate and the claim. Clevra covers the rest of the job: the call, the booking, the checklist on site, the report, the invoice and the payment.
- 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
XBuild's AI builds scopes and proposals, titles photos and runs an assistant called Rex, metered in tokens on every plan. It doesn't list AI call answering. Clevra's AI Receptionist and AI-written inspection reports are part of the Pro plan price.
