Autopilot vs InvoiceASAP
InvoiceASAP is about the cheapest way to send invoices from the field and have them land in QuickBooks. Autopilot is a full field service CRM: the invoicing is in there, along with the schedule, the phone, the AI receptionist, and the marketing, for one flat price.

Who is InvoiceASAP?
InvoiceASAP is a small, bootstrapped mobile and web invoicing app aimed at field service pros: HVAC, landscaping, cleaning, plumbing, painting, and similar trades. Its core loop is simple and it does it well: create an estimate or invoice on your phone, capture a signature and photos on site, take a card or ACH payment, and have everything sync to QuickBooks, both Online and Desktop.
It sits at the very bottom of the price ladder. You can create a free account, payment processing runs 2.9% plus 30 cents on cards and 1% plus 30 cents on ACH, and the paid subscription is cheap, though the company does not publish a clear price list on its site; third parties have reported single-digit monthly fees, historically around $4 to $8 a month. There is no API and no app marketplace.
That is the honest scope: it is an invoicing tool, not a business system. There is no dispatch calendar, no online booking, no customer texting, no marketing, and no phone. For a solo operator whose only pain is getting paid and keeping the books straight, it earns its few dollars a month.
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 InvoiceASAP, Autopilot is the difference between a receipt printer and a front office: same invoices and QuickBooks sync, plus the schedule, the phone, the AI receptionist, and the follow-up that fills next week.
