About Simpro
Simpro is the dominant commercial trades platform in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and increasingly in North America, founded in 2002 in Brisbane and now serving operations across four continents. The product targets commercial HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general contracting operations that mix project-based work with recurring service contracts — a hybrid business model that's hard to handle in pure-service FSM platforms.
What separates Simpro from US-rooted commercial FSM is the end-to-end project + service architecture. Simpro handles project estimation, job costing, scheduling, parts management, service agreements, and AIA-style progress billing in a single platform. Commercial contractors typically run 30-50% project work (new construction, retrofits, large installations) and 50-70% service work (maintenance, repairs, recurring agreements); most platforms force a choice between project management strength or service strength. Simpro covers both reasonably well.
Pricing is custom-quoted across three tiers (Essentials, Growth, Connect). User-reported pricing lands in the $40-$100/user/month range, making Simpro significantly cheaper than ServiceTitan or BuildOps at comparable feature depth. Most mid-market commercial operations (15-50 employees) report $60-$80/user/mo in production. The custom pricing reflects significant variance by module selection and operation size.
Integrations include QuickBooks, Xero (strong, given Australian roots), Sage, Stripe, and Salesforce. Xero integration is best-in-class — important because Xero dominates commercial trades accounting in the AU/NZ/UK markets where Simpro originated. Salesforce integration is rare among FSM and matters for commercial operations with significant business-development sales motion.
The trade-off: Simpro's US presence is still growing relative to AU/NZ/UK markets where it dominates. US-specific features (US payroll integrations, US-style change order workflows) are less mature than US-rooted competitors. For commercial contractors mixing project + service work who want strong accounting integration at lower cost than ServiceTitan/BuildOps, Simpro is increasingly the strongest option.
Pricing
| Tier | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Essentials | Custom quote | Entry tier |
| Growth | Custom quote | |
| Connect | Custom quote | Top tier |
Custom quote; reports per-user pricing $40-100/mo
Simpro uses custom-quoted pricing — typical for enterprise field service platforms where deployment includes data migration, training, and pricebook setup. Expect a 30-60 minute discovery call before getting a number, and the spread between quoted figures can be wide depending on your team size, vertical, and feature requirements. Always get quotes in writing and confirm what's included (number of users, integrations, support tier) before signing.
Pricing verified 2026-07-10. Vendors change pricing without notice; verify with Simpro before purchasing.
Estimate uses the published starting tier and detects per-user vs per-company pricing automatically. For an exact quote at your team size and feature requirements, request a quote from Simpro.
Key features
Integrations
Pros
- + End-to-end project + service architecture
Handles both project-based work and recurring service in a single platform. Most commercial contractors run hybrid models; Simpro fits the mix better than pure-service or pure-project competitors.
- + Significantly cheaper than ServiceTitan/BuildOps
Custom-quoted $40-$100/user/mo lands at 1/4 to 1/2 the price of US enterprise FSM at comparable commercial feature depth.
- + Xero integration best-in-class
Built in the Xero ecosystem first; integration depth is unmatched. Critical for commercial contractors on Xero (dominant in AU/NZ/UK markets).
- + Salesforce integration (rare in FSM)
Supports commercial contractors with significant business development sales motion. Rare among FSM platforms; reflects Simpro's commercial positioning.
- + Long product history (2002 founding)
20+ years of commercial trades software development. Feature depth and edge-case handling reflect long product evolution.
- + AIA-style progress billing built in
Supports commercial project billing standards (AIA G702/G703 forms, percentage-complete billing). Important for commercial contractors doing significant new construction work.
Cons
- − US market presence still growing
Originated in Australia; US user community is smaller than ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, or BuildOps. US-specific features (US payroll integrations, US change order workflows) are less mature than US-rooted competitors.
- − Custom-quoted pricing
Sales call required to get pricing; no transparent pricing on website. User-reported $40-$100/user/mo lands in mid-market tier but actual quotes vary significantly by module selection.
- − Lower G2 rating than premium competitors
4.2 G2 / 4.1 Capterra reflects mixed customer satisfaction, particularly around US-specific features and onboarding experience for US customers.
- − Learning curve
Feature-deep product covering project + service + accounting + parts; takes 8-12 weeks for office staff to become proficient across modules.
- − No free trial
Sales call required to evaluate; pricing transparency is weak relative to competitors with visible pricing pages.
Implementation timeline
3–6 months for full deployment
Plan for 8-12 weeks for full deployment. Simpro assigns dedicated implementation manager and runs phased rollout. Realistic timeline for a 30-employee commercial HVAC/plumbing/electrical contractor mixing project + service work: Weeks 1-3 system configuration including chart of accounts mapping, user setup, customer import. Weeks 3-6 service agreement migration (commercial recurring service contracts) and project template setup for typical project types. Weeks 6-8 parts library setup with cost/markup rules — critical for commercial contractors with significant parts revenue. Weeks 8-10 office staff training on project management workflow, service dispatch workflow, AIA progress billing setup. Weeks 10-12 field tech training, customer portal launch, Xero or QuickBooks integration testing. Plan for 2-4 weeks of parallel run on existing platform before full cutover. For commercial contractors migrating from generic FSM (Jobber, Housecall Pro), data migration requires reconstruction of service agreements and project workflows. For commercial contractors migrating from competitor commercial platforms (ServiceTitan commercial, BuildOps), migration is cleaner due to more compatible data structures. The Xero integration is the highest-value setup step for AU/NZ/UK customers; QuickBooks integration is functional but slightly less deep.

Frequently asked questions
How does Simpro compare to ServiceTitan for commercial trades?
Simpro is significantly cheaper ($40-$100/user/mo vs $300-$800/user/mo for ServiceTitan) at comparable commercial feature depth. ServiceTitan has stronger US presence, better US payroll integrations, and larger US user community. Simpro has stronger Xero integration, better project + service hybrid architecture, and longer product history. For US commercial operations, ServiceTitan is the default; for cost-conscious commercial operations willing to evaluate alternatives, Simpro is increasingly competitive.
Is Simpro suitable for US-based commercial contractors?
Yes, with caveats. The core commercial workflows (project + service + accounting) work well for US operations. US payroll integrations are weaker than US-rooted competitors; US-specific change order workflows are less mature. For US operations on Xero, Simpro is the strongest commercial fit. For US operations on QuickBooks, Simpro is functional but ServiceTitan or BuildOps may fit better.
Can Simpro handle both project work and recurring service?
Yes — the end-to-end architecture handles both in a single platform. Project work uses estimating, job costing, AIA progress billing, parts management. Service work uses service agreements, dispatch, asset tracking. Most commercial contractors run hybrid models (30-50% project, 50-70% service); Simpro is built for this mix specifically.
What's the price difference between Simpro and ServiceTitan?
Simpro user-reported $40-$100/user/month versus ServiceTitan user-reported $300-$800/user/month. For a 30-tech commercial operation: Simpro $1,800-$3,000/month versus ServiceTitan $9,000-$24,000/month. Implementation costs also differ ($5K-$15K Simpro versus $15K-$50K ServiceTitan).
Does Simpro have a free trial?
No — sales call required to evaluate. Demos available through the website; full evaluation requires a guided trial set up by the sales team. This is standard among custom-quoted enterprise FSM platforms but limits self-service evaluation.
