Autopilot vs FieldPulse
FieldPulse is a fast-growing platform aiming at shops that find ServiceTitan too heavy, sold per seat on quoted contracts. Autopilot is for the smaller crew below that: same daily tools, plus the phone and AI receptionist included, at a flat published price.

Who is FieldPulse?
FieldPulse is a Dallas-based field service platform that has raised about $79 million, including a $50 million Series C in 2025 led by Fulcrum. It has earned a reputation as a ServiceTitan-lite: deep enough for a growing multi-crew shop, with customer management, scheduling, estimates, invoicing, workflow automation, and an open API on its Enterprise tier, without enterprise implementation pain.
Pricing is not published. You buy a set number of seats upfront for a contract term, with full-access seats and cheaper field-only seats, across Essentials, Professional, and Enterprise tiers. Third parties and user reports put it roughly between $65 and $115 per user per month depending on tier, with common totals around $99 a month for a very small team and $199 or more for a seven-to-ten person crew. The phone system (Engage), Operator AI call booking, fleet tracking, and the pricebook are paid add-ons.
For a ten-tech operation that wants configurability and a sales process, FieldPulse earns its spot on the shortlist. A two or three person crew is buying a sales cycle and a seat contract it does not need.
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 FieldPulse, Autopilot's case is simplicity: a published flat price you can start on today, with the phone, texting, and AI receptionist already inside instead of quoted as Engage and Operator add-ons.

The bottom line
Two different tools for two different businesses. Here is the honest split.
Choose FieldPulse if…
- You run a growing multi-crew shop (roughly 10+ techs) that has outgrown small-business tools
- You want project management and job costing alongside service work
- You need an open API and are willing to buy the Enterprise tier for it
- You prefer a guided sales and onboarding process over self-serve setup
Choose Autopilot if…
- You want a published price and a free trial instead of a demo, a quote, and a seat contract
- You want the phone and texting included instead of buying the Engage add-on
- You want an AI receptionist in the base plan instead of the Operator add-on
- You run a crew of 1 to 15 and flat $49 to $149 beats per-seat math
