When Trades Lead CRM fits

Leads stay in your own spreadsheet: Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable or Notion
One flat price for your whole crew, not per user
Tap-to-call with call logs and SMS templates
Estimates and invoices with e-sign and a Stripe pay link
Customer portal where homeowners view, sign, and pay
Google Calendar scheduling and a Today follow-up list
AI assistant that drafts texts and estimates. Nothing sends until you confirm

When a bigger platform fits

Dispatch boards, route optimization, built-in phones, supplier ordering, and deep job costing often mean Buildertrend, ServiceTitan, AccuLynx, or JobNimbus. Those tools quote custom plans. Match their feature list to your crew before you switch.

What we left out

We did not list Procore, CoConstruct, or other enterprise tools because we did not verify a public starting price in this pass. We also did not guess per-user math for quote-only vendors.
