Frequently asked questions
Is Leadhand the same kind of product as Simpro?
They overlap in job management, but they are not identical. Simpro targets complex field-service operations and configurable implementations. Leadhand is intentionally simpler for trade businesses that want the core workflow running quickly.
Why does Leadhand publish prices while Simpro asks for a quote?
Leadhand uses standard job-volume tiers. Simpro says its pricing is tailored to team size, complexity, add-ons and support, so the products use different buying models.
Can a Simpro business move directly to Leadhand?
Only after a detailed fit and data review. A business using complex assets, maintenance schedules, projects or integrations should confirm every critical workflow and retain its source archive before switching.
