What Contractor+'s own pages said on October 19, 2026, next to what Peak does today.
| Contractor+ | Peak |
|---|---|
| What it covers | |
| Estimates, invoices, jobs, scheduling, property profiles and one inbox for calls, texts, email and voicemail. | Leads and customers, estimates with e-sign and change orders, invoices, projects, crews, a dispatch board, a time clock, job photos and daily logs, plus Sherpa. |
| Pricing model | |
| A free plan, then Pro Team at $58 a month for the first 2 users plus $20 per extra user, and Max at $500 a month. | The software is free. No per-user fee and no contract. You pay your own texting, email, AI and payment providers directly. |
| AI | |
| Estimatic AI drafts quotes from descriptions and photos. Unlimited Estimatic AI and AI workflows are listed on Max; the other plans list no AI. | Sherpa looks things up and makes changes in every Peak tool, from chat or from your own AI assistant. Anything that reaches a customer or moves money waits for your OK. It runs on your own AI key. |
| Phone app | |
| An iPhone app in the App Store. The site shows a Google Play badge, but we couldn't confirm the Android listing. | Installs from your phone's browser to your home screen. The crew app works offline. No App Store or Google Play app yet. |
| Your data | |
| Reports, including client contact info, can be emailed to you. Zapier and a developer API come with Pro Team. We didn't find a customer export guide or an AI connector. | When sign-up opens, your customer data lives in a database you own, not ours. Export contacts as a spreadsheet or download the whole database any time. |
| Getting started | |
| Start free on your own, no card. It also offers 1-on-1 Zoom setup sessions and demos. Max includes priority onboarding. | Sign in and start.

WHERE PEAK IS DIFFERENT
What you get with Peak that Contractor+ doesn't do.
- The Peak tools are free with no per-user fee. Contractor+ is free for up to 5 estimates or invoices a month, then $58 a month for 2 users plus $20 for each extra user.
- Sherpa looks things up and makes changes in every Peak tool, from chat or from your own AI assistant. Anything that reaches a customer or moves money waits for your OK.
- You use your own AI key, texting and payment accounts and pay those companies directly. We don't mark them up.
The software is free
No per-user fee and no contract for the tools. You bring your own accounts for AI, texting, email and payments, and pay those companies directly at their prices. We don't mark them up.
Your data, your accounts
When sign-up opens, your customer data lives in a database you own, not ours. Export it any time. If you leave, you take everything with you.
Sherpa does the work, inside rules
Tell Sherpa "add a note to Susan Park: gate goes on the north side." It finds her and adds it, or asks you to reply YES first when the rules say so. Anything that reaches a customer or moves money waits for your approval. You can see every rule, and you can only make them stricter.
A team if you want one
You can run the tools on your own. If you'd rather have help, our team runs the marketing, lead follow-up and AI setup for you on a paid plan.
Read every Sherpa rule on what Sherpa will and won't do.
SWITCHING
Moving from Contractor+ to Peak.
Most of it is two spreadsheets. Run both side by side for a week if you like.
Step 1
Export from Contractor+
In Contractor+, run the Client Contact Info report, pick the columns you want and have a copy emailed to you. We didn't find a separate customer export guide, so ask Contractor+ support if you need more.
Step 2
Import your customers
In Peak, open Contacts and choose Import. Upload the spreadsheet and match the columns. Rows with the same email or phone merge instead of making duplicates.
Step 3
Bring your price book
The Estimator imports your items and prices from a spreadsheet. There's a template to fill in if your old export doesn't line up.
Step 4
Connect your own accounts
Hook up your texting number, email, AI key and Stripe when you're ready to send and get paid. Nothing goes out until you do.
Step 5
Finish open jobs, then switch
Let jobs already in progress finish where they are, and start new ones in Peak. Rather not do the move yourself? Our team can help.
