Pros & cons
Bodhi

- − Starter/Pro package pricing is not published
- − No native QuickBooks integration (Solargraf has it)
Solargraf
- + Native QuickBooks integration (bidirectional sync)
- − Reviewers report shading-analysis inaccuracy of roughly 10-20% versus competing tools and permit packs that need revisions more than half the time
- − Billing is annual-only, so there is no low monthly entry point
Implementation timeline comparison
Bodhi
1-3 weeks self-service onboarding
Solargraf
4-8 weeks self-service or with optional paid onboarding
Enterprise-tier platforms ($250+/user/mo) typically require 3-6 months with dedicated admin time, custom pricebook setup, and phased rollout to field techs. Mid-tier platforms reach operational status in 4-8 weeks with optional paid onboarding. Entry-tier platforms are designed for self-service onboarding in 1-3 weeks. Always plan for 2-4 weeks of parallel operation with your existing system before cutting over.

Do Bodhi or Solargraf offer a free trial?

How long does Bodhi vs Solargraf take to implement?
Bodhi: 1-3 weeks self-service onboarding. Solargraf: 4-8 weeks self-service or with optional paid onboarding. Implementation length scales with pricing tier — enterprise platforms ($250+/user/mo) require 3-6 months with dedicated admin time; mid-tier platforms typically reach operational status in 4-8 weeks with optional paid onboarding.
Can I migrate from Bodhi to Solargraf (or vice versa)?
Yes, but expect data normalization work. Customer records and active jobs typically import cleanly via CSV. Historical job data, recurring service agreements, and custom pricebooks rarely transfer perfectly — most shops leave historical data in the source system as archival reference rather than migrating it. Budget 2-4 weeks of parallel operation between the two systems during the cutover.
Bodhi vs Solargraf: which has better customer support?
Both Bodhi and Solargraf offer email support across all tiers, with phone and live chat typically reserved for higher tiers. Response time SLAs vary by tier — entry-tier customers usually get 24-48 hour email response; enterprise customers get dedicated account managers with same-day response. Read recent G2 reviews specifically for support-quality signals before committing.
Which is better for solo contractors vs growing teams?
For solo contractors and 2-3 person teams, the lower-priced option (Bodhi) typically wins on cost without sacrificing core features. For growing teams (5-15 employees), evaluate based on which platform's upper tiers include the features you'll need at your 12-18 month projected scale rather than buying for today's team size. For established 15+ employee operations, the depth of enterprise features (reporting, multi-location, marketing attribution) matters more than entry-tier price.
