InsightPaint vs Surfacely

InsightPaint is an operating system for painting contractors that combines lead management, estimates, scheduling, crew management, invoicing, payments, payroll, marketing, reviews, reporting, and automation. It captures leads from websites, ads, business profiles, calls, SMS, and email, then can assign them to sales representatives. The estimate builder supports paint calculations, material quantities, room measurements, photos, options, upsells, deposits, change orders, and digital signatures. The AI Office Manager can answer customers, qualify leads, prepare estimates and invoices, schedule crews, respond to reviews, analyze calls, and forecast revenue. A visual workflow builder automates steps from lead receipt through review requests. Dedicated mobile apps provide offline mode, GPS tracking, time clock, job photos, reports, messaging, and notifications. Customers can use a portal to approve estimates, pay invoices, follow project timelines, and communicate with the office. Plans start at $49 a month, billed monthly; a 14-day trial is available, and there is no free plan. It works in modern desktop browsers and has mobile apps.

Surfacely is software for painting businesses to measure jobs, prepare quotes and proposals, invoice clients, and track job profit. Its workflow covers measuring and quoting through proposals, crew briefs, invoicing, job costing, and profit debriefs. Painters can send a homeowner a project link to provide photos, surfaces, rough measurements, and notes before a site visit. Surfacely Assist analyses site photos to flag surfaces that may have been missed and defects that may need pricing. The product says it works offline when a signal drops and syncs data across phones, tablets, and laptops. It connects to Xero and QuickBooks Online for invoice and payment syncing, with CSV export also available. Stripe Connect enables card and digital-wallet payments, with funds deposited to the business's bank account. The Free plan includes two team seats, two devices per user, and five buildings to start. Starter costs $59.00 per month and Professional costs $119.00 per month; both include unlimited buildings and projects. Surfacely lists Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows platforms.
