Autopilot vs Project Proctor
Project Proctor is inexpensive construction project management with Gantt timelines, change orders, daily logs, and an AI superintendent. It is not a home-service CRM for dispatch, invoicing, phones, or marketing.

Who is Project Proctor?
Project Proctor is built for general contractors, supers, project managers, clients, and subcontractors. It combines project tasks, Gantt charts, change orders, punch lists, daily logs, photos, role-based sharing, offline work, and communication in 12 languages.
Its Supe AI assistant drafts RFIs and daily logs and translates crew messages. Plans cost $9.99, $19.99, and $39.99 a month. Only annual subscriptions include a 7-day trial; monthly billing starts immediately.
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. Grow at $119 adds two-way texting and the full phone system. Scale at $299 adds the AI receptionist, QuickBooks, GPS, marketing tools, ad integrations, and the open API. Plans include 1, 3, or 7 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 Scale.
