Most contractors are paying four or five subscriptions that don't talk to each other — one for photos, one for signatures, one for estimates, one for job costing, one for time tracking. FormUp does all of it in one login. Here's the honest math.
Published starting prices from each vendor's own pricing page, September 2026. Your mix may differ — the pattern won't.
| The tool | What you use it for | Typical cost, 5 people |
|---|---|---|
| Jobber | Estimates, scheduling, invoicing, client hub | from $169/mo |
| CompanyCam | Job-site photos, organized by project | from $120/mo |
| DocuSign | Contracts & change orders signed | from $25/mo |
| SynkedUP or similar | Job costing, break-even, pricing by profit | $200+/mo |
| QuickBooks Time / Connecteam | GPS time clock & crew scheduling | from $60/mo |
| That stack | Five logins, five bills, nothing synced | $574+/mo |
| FormUp Pro | All of it, one login, up to 30 team members | $59.99/mo |
That's roughly $500 a month — $6,000 a year — back in the business. Enough for a dump trailer payment, a helper's week, or your whole year of fuel discounts. Prices are each vendor's published entry tier and scale up from there; the gap only widens.
Not "kind of covers it." The actual job each tool does, done inside FormUp.
Burst camera on site, every photo GPS-stamped with the address, organized by job and phase, searchable, before/after showcases, and shareable links for subs and inspectors — no login needed on their end.
Estimates, contracts, and change orders signed on the page or by link — with a tamper-evident audit trail (IP, device, document fingerprint) and the sealed PDF filed to the job automatically.
Interactive estimates clients sign and pay deposits on, crew scheduling with routes, branded invoices with online payment, and a client hub — the difference is your estimate creates the project, the portal, and the paper trail by itself.
Your real overhead and field wage turn into a break-even rate, so every estimate shows profit before you send it — and live job costs while the work runs.
Punches checked against the job site's coordinates — green on site, red with the distance if not. Hours flow straight to payroll export.
Permits, COIs, signed contracts — scanned with auto-crop, multi-page into one PDF, filed to the job, the client, and your document vault at once.
FormUp doesn't pretend to be your accountant or your AI. It plugs into both — so the stack that's left is small, cheap, and seamless.
The job itself: estimates, crews, time, photos, invoices, signatures, client portal, job costing. Everything above, one bill.
Your books stay your books. Two-way sync for invoices, payments, customers, hours, and expenses — nothing typed twice, and your accountant never learns a new tool.
Connect the AI you already use and just talk: "here's my crew, my pricing, my clients" — it loads your company in. Then ask it anything about your business, any time.
Keep your old subscriptions running the first month if it makes you comfortable. Most people don't renew them.
