FieldEdge is field service management software for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors. Clovr is a contractor CRM with AI-powered estimates, a permanent audit trail, and change order management that FieldEdge doesn't provide.
Why contractors switch
FieldEdge handles dispatching and service history well for mechanical trades. But when it comes to generating estimates with AI, protecting every document with a permanent record, and managing change orders, there are gaps.
Clovr generates full line-item estimates in under 4 minutes using AI. Market-rate aware, markup-calculated, and branded — no manual build-out.
Every estimate, contract, change order, invoice, and payment timestamped forever. When a client disputes scope, you have proof, not a guessing game.
Change orders in Clovr stack on the original contract with their own e-signatures and timestamps. Mid-job changes stay documented and signed.
Your data is automatically backed up on a schedule. Records never expire, never get deleted.
Clovr is purpose-built for painters, roofers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, and remodelers — not a generic field service tool for every industry.
Clovr includes contracts, e-signatures, SMS campaigns, and invoicing in every plan. No gated tiers, no paid add-ons.

Pricing comparison
FieldEdge may fit some workflows — but it's missing the features that actually protect and grow a trade contracting business. Here's what you get at each price point.
From a contractor who switched
"FieldEdge was fine for what it did, but I was still writing estimates by hand and had zero protection when clients disputed scope. The day I switched to Clovr, I generated my first AI estimate in 3 minutes and had a signed contract with full audit trail before lunch."Jake Johnson, Prestigious Painting Professionals — Minneapolis, MN
Questions
For contractors who want AI-powered estimates, a permanent audit trail, and change order management, Clovr offers what FieldEdge doesn't emphasize. FieldEdge is strong on service dispatch; Clovr is strong on the full trade workflow.
FieldEdge focuses on dispatching and service history. It does not provide a permanent, timestamped audit trail across every estimate, change order, and payment the way Clovr does.
Yes. Clovr's change orders stack on the original contract with their own e-signatures and timestamps. Change-order tracking is not FieldEdge's core focus.
Clovr Starter is $99/month with all features included. FieldEdge uses custom pricing and does not bundle AI estimates, an audit trail, and change orders the way Clovr does.
FieldEdge is well known in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service. Clovr serves those trades plus painters, roofers, and remodelers with AI estimates that understand trade-specific scope.
