simPRO is powerful enterprise software designed for businesses with 20–200+ staff. If you're a small-to-medium tradie business, you're paying for complexity you don't need. Solvr is built for the tradie on the tools — fast quoting, no setup fees, no implementation consultant required.
simPRO is a solid tool. But if you're quoting on-site and losing time to manual admin, Solvr is built differently.
simPRO typically requires a paid implementation engagement that can take weeks. Solvr is self-serve — create an account, set up your price book, and send your first quote the same day.
simPRO doesn't publish pricing — you have to request a quote. Costs typically range from $200–$500+/month plus implementation fees. Solvr is $49/month, published, no surprises.
simPRO has no voice quoting. Solvr lets you speak a job description on-site and generates a complete, itemised, GST-ready quote in under 30 seconds.
simPRO has no inbound call handling. Solvr's AI receptionist answers missed calls, qualifies leads, and books jobs 24/7 — no extra charge.
simPRO is designed around office-based project managers and enterprise workflows. Solvr is designed around the tradie standing in front of a customer, needing a quote out fast.
simPRO's complexity means most businesses need paid professional services to get started. Solvr's onboarding is self-serve with free Australian-based support.

"We got a simPRO demo and the implementation quote came back at $3,200 before we'd even sent our first job. That's six months of Solvr. We set Solvr up ourselves in an afternoon, and the voice quoting means my guys can quote on-site without calling the office. We do commercial electrical and it's been a game changer for multi-trade jobs."
"simPRO is built for 50-person companies with a dedicated office manager. I'm 3 guys and a van doing plumbing and drainage. Solvr is exactly the right size — I can quote a blocked drain job on-site in 30 seconds, the invoice goes out when the job's done, and the AI receptionist handles calls when I'm under a house."
"I do commercial HVAC maintenance contracts and simPRO wanted me on an annual contract with custom pricing. I couldn't even get a number without a sales call. Solvr is $49 a month, I signed up in 10 minutes, and the voice quoting for preventive maintenance jobs saves me an hour every day."
