Why small crews are leaving simPRO
Great software for 50-person operations. Expensive overkill for yours.
Their prices keep climbing
simPRO Lightning launched May 2026 and existing customers report 15–25% price increases to access Lightning AI features. That's hundreds extra per month for software your 3-person crew barely uses half of.
Cooper is closed — ours is open
simPRO's Lightning AI (Cooper) is impressive — 4 AI agents and counting. But it only works inside their ecosystem. We give you an open MCP server with 102 native tools, plus a REST API, so AI agents and external tools can plug in directly.
Enterprise overhead you don't need
Multi-branch management, asset fleet tracking, 500-person scheduling — you're paying for features built for companies 10x your size. Your admin software should match your business, not a corporation's.
Per-user pricing adds up fast
simPRO charges per user. Every new apprentice, every office admin — more cost. We include up to 25 users on every plan. Hire your team without a software tax.

Common concerns from simPRO users
"I’ve invested years in simPRO — switching is painful"
That’s the sunk cost fallacy talking. You’re not losing your investment — you’re cutting ongoing losses. We help migrate your data and you can run both systems in parallel. Most tradies fully switch within 2 weeks.
"What about my custom workflows?"
Our workflow builder handles everything a small crew needs. Plus our MCP server means AI agents can automate workflows that simPRO can’t even touch — like auto-responding to every lead within 5 seconds, or automatically chasing overdue invoices.
"simPRO integrates with my accounting software"
So do we. Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks — all connected. Plus 104+ other integrations. And with our open API and MCP server, you can connect to anything.
"What if I need simPRO features later?"
If you genuinely grow to 50+ staff with multi-state operations and fleet management needs, you’ll have the revenue to afford simPRO. But most small crews never need that — they need admin that runs itself.
