Directory

How the directory works

132 tools across 16 categories, listed by editors, described from each company’s own website.

What gets listed

We list software that construction and home-service businesses use or are likely to evaluate, from estimating and bidding to dispatch, payments and AI phone answering. A tool needs a working product site we can read. Listings are alphabetical within each category, never ranked.

What “checked” means

For every listing we read the company’s own website, including its pricing page where it has one, and write the summary, the pricing note and the AI note from what that site says. Where a company makes a claim, we attribute it to the company. We leave out customer names, user counts, funding figures and “best” or “leading” claims, because we can’t verify them from a vendor’s own site.

Each page shows the month it was checked. Pricing, plans and features change, so treat a listing as a starting point and confirm with the vendor. We have not tested every product, and a listing is not a review or an endorsement.

Our analysis versus theirs

The “where AI fits” notes, the buyer’s guides, the stack guides and the glossary are our own analysis and general advice. They make no claims about any particular company, and they are labeled as ours.

Independence and money

No company pays to be listed, and none can pay to be ranked or to change how it is described.

At the moment we earn nothing from the links in this directory. If that changes, affiliate links will be marked and this page will say so.

Fix a listing

If you work at a company in the directory and something on its page is out of date or wrong, tell us what, and where on your site it can be confirmed. We correct factual errors after checking them against your site. We don’t change descriptions in exchange for payment.
