Features

Built for one-person crews

No teams, no roles, no permissions to configure. Sign up and you're tracking quotes in five minutes.

$29/month flat — forever

No per-user fees, no setup fees, no annual contracts. One job won pays for the whole year.

AI writes your follow-ups

You're on site all day. The AI drafts warm, contractor-tuned follow-ups so quotes never sit cold in your inbox.

Works from the truck

Mobile-first. Update a quote between jobs, send a follow-up at a stoplight, ask for a review on the drive home.

No bloat, no learning curve

No production schedules. No estimating modules. No GPS tracking. Just leads, quotes, follow-ups, and reviews — the four things a solo contractor actually does.

Frequently asked questions

Is FollowUpDesk really worth it for a solo contractor?

If you send at least 4 quotes a month, yes. Most solo contractors stop following up after one or two tries. Booking just one extra job a year pays for FollowUpDesk for the next 12 years.

What if it's just me — do I need a CRM at all?

Yes — actually more than a team does. A team has people to chase quotes. As a solo contractor, the only person who can follow up is you, and you're on a roof all day. That's exactly what FollowUpDesk automates.

Is this simpler than Jobber or Housecall Pro?

Much simpler. Jobber and Housecall Pro are built for crews running 20+ jobs a week with scheduling, dispatching, and invoicing. FollowUpDesk just does leads, quotes, follow-ups, and reviews — the four things a solo contractor actually does.

Will the AI follow-ups sound like a robot?

No. They're tuned for contractors — short, warm, direct. The kind of message you'd actually text a customer. You can edit any message before it sends.

Can I use FollowUpDesk on my phone?

Yes. It's mobile-first by design. Update leads, send follow-ups, and request reviews from any phone or tablet.

What happens if I take on a helper or two?

Add them at no extra cost. There are no per-user fees — $29/month covers your whole crew, today and when you grow.
