Who is Joblogic?
Joblogic is a Birmingham-based field service platform serving around 7,000 customers across the UK, Ireland, and the Middle East, from sole traders up to enterprise maintenance contractors. It is backed by a £60 million investment from private equity firm Axiom Equity and has grown by acquisition, folding in Protean and Clik. Its depth is on the commercial maintenance side: planned preventive maintenance, compliance certificates, asset management, job costing, purchase orders, and stock control, with offline iOS and Android apps and syncs for QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage.
Pricing starts at £45 per user per month billed annually on the Standard plan, so a 5-person team runs £225 a month, with Premium and Enterprise plans quoted to order. There is a genuine 30-day free trial on Standard with no card needed, which is generous for this market. Contracts are the catch: most customers commit to 24 or 36 months, a 12-month term is available on request, and month-to-month is not offered. Capterra reviewers rate it 4.4.
For a maintenance contractor with engineers on service contracts, Joblogic covers ground that small-crew software does not. For a residential crew, it means per-user fees, a multi-year term, and no marketing or phone tools.
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.
Autopilot plans start at $49 a month, and the $149 Full Throttle plan includes the full phone system, AI receptionist, QuickBooks, GPS, and marketing tools.

- You are in North America; Joblogic's market is the UK, Ireland, and the Middle East
- You want a built-in phone with call recording, AI summaries, and an AI receptionist answering missed calls
- You want two-way texting and built-in marketing: review funnels, SMS and email campaigns
