Who is JobFlow NOW?
JobFlow NOW is built for small US service businesses that want invoicing, estimates, Stripe payments, scheduling, online booking, expenses, receipts, mileage, inventory, canned jobs, and simple customer management in one browser app.
Its unusual strength is the tax center, which estimates cash-method profit, sales tax, self-employment tax, state income tax, and mileage deductions. The product is $29 a month flat with unlimited users, no contract, and no free trial.
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.
The practical difference is the front office. Autopilot combines the CRM and field workflow with a business phone, AI receptionist, call intelligence, and customer marketing on Full Throttle.
