Who is SingleOps?
SingleOps is CRM and operations software built for tree care and plant health care companies. It is now the core of Granum, a private-equity-backed group funded by FTV Capital ($74 million raised in 2022) that also owns LMN and Greenius. Its bread and butter is the arborist sales cycle: professional proposals with e-signatures, work orders, crew scheduling, routing, and invoicing, with a real-time QuickBooks sync it is well known for.
Published pricing starts at $220 a month for Essential ($200 on annual billing), $385 for Plus, and $550 for Premier. Each plan includes one office or sales user, and every additional admin, estimator, or dispatcher costs $50 to $150 a month depending on the tier. There is no advertised free trial, and its API access is limited.
For a multi-crew tree company with dedicated salespeople in the field, SingleOps earns its keep. For a small crew where the owner is also the estimator and the dispatcher, the per-user math adds up fast for tools you can get flat-priced.
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.
Against SingleOps, Autopilot publishes plans for 1, 5, or 10 team members, with the AI-answered phone on Full Throttle.
