Autopilot vs Clik
Clik built its name on job management and certification software for UK field service trades, and since 2024 it has been part of the Joblogic group, with new customers steered toward Joblogic FSM. Autopilot is for North American home service crews that want one flat-priced app with the phone and AI receptionist built in.

Who is Clik?
Clik is a Bristol-based software company that has been building job management and certification tools for UK field service businesses since 2000. Its long-running products, Clik Service, Clik Remote, and Clik Cert, are best known in trades that live on paperwork and compliance certificates: electrical, fire and security, catering, plumbing, and building services.
In September 2024 Clik was acquired by Joblogic, the UK field service group that also bought Protean. Clik's site now points new customers toward two things: Clik Compliance, its certificate platform from £20 per user per month, and Joblogic FSM, the group's flagship quote-based field service system, with a migration path for legacy Clik Service customers. Extras like VoIP telephony, SMS notifications, and vehicle tracking are sold as optional add-ons on the Joblogic side.
If you are a UK contractor whose business runs on certificates and compliance, Clik's tooling is genuinely strong and the Joblogic group behind it is the biggest player in the UK market. It is not built for North American residential work, and the core job management product is now effectively Joblogic, priced by quote and per user.
Who is Autopilot?
Autopilot is an all-in-one CRM built for home service businesses: junk removal, cleaning, landscaping, moving, and the rest of the trades that keep neighborhoods running. Plans start at $49 a month for scheduling, estimates, invoicing, payments, and online booking. Crew at $99 adds two-way texting and limited calling. Full Throttle at $149 adds the full phone system, AI receptionist, QuickBooks, GPS, and marketing tools. Plans include 1, 5, or 10 team members respectively.
It was built by a founder who ran his own junk removal company and got tired of paying for three tools that didn't talk to each other. Over 400 businesses run on it today, and it holds a 4.8 rating on the App Store and 4.9 on Google Play.
Against Clik, Autopilot's pitch is simplicity: one self-serve app for North American home service crews with published flat pricing, instead of a legacy product mid-migration into a quote-based per-user platform.
