Who is Wowflow?
Wowflow is facility management software from Vienna, Austria, aimed at building maintenance teams, property managers, and their external service providers across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It positions itself as the simple alternative to complex CAFM systems: work orders and task delegation, QR-code and email ticket intake, calendar scheduling for recurring maintenance, photo documentation, timestamped PDF reports, and an offline-capable mobile app. Free licenses for clients and subcontractors make it easy to pull outside parties into the workflow.
Pricing runs per license on annual billing: employees at 39.90 euros a month, managers and admins at 99.90 euros, client and service-provider seats free, and tracked assets at 45 cents per object. There is a 14-day free trial with no card, but contracts carry a 1-year minimum, most customers sign 3 years, and onboarding is a separately priced one-time package, softened by a refund guarantee if implementation fails within 8 weeks.
It is a focused tool for its niche. What it is not is home service CRM: no invoicing or payments, no phone system, no customer texting, no online booking for homeowners, and no marketing. Jobs in Wowflow arrive as tickets from buildings, not as phone calls from customers.
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 Wowflow, Autopilot is built for the other side of the service world: crews whose work starts with a homeowner's call, which the AI receptionist answers, books, and turns into an invoice.
