IRONGRID vs RoundRun

IRONGRID is a field-management platform for contractors and trade professionals. It combines work orders, crew scheduling, time tracking, materials, and invoicing. Work orders can include photos, notes, statuses, priorities, target dates, and recurring schedules. Teams can assign staff and subcontractors, define Admin, Manager, and Employee roles, and control access. Job costing records labor hours and material purchases, with invoice calculations for labor rates and material markups. Clients can approve or decline emailed quotes without an account, and approved quotes can become work orders automatically. QuickBooks Online integration is available on Pro and Business, with automatic or one-click invoice synchronization. Payments support cards, ACH transfers, and checks; electronic processing fees apply. IRONGRID runs as a Progressive Web App on web, iOS, and Android, works offline, and installs without an app-store download. Data is tenant-isolated, encrypted in transit and at rest, and uploaded files remain private to the company account. Plans are billed annually: Starter is $39.00 per month ($468/year), Pro $129.00 ($1548/year), and Business $199.00 ($2388/year). A 14-day trial is offered, with no free plan.

RoundRun is window-cleaning software for managing recurring rounds, scheduling, field jobs, customer messages, invoices, and payments. Route planning uses road routes and a chosen starting point, while letting users adjust job order for access, parking, or timing. Smart Rounds can preview or maintain routes using crew hours and measured job times; it protects the next seven days and includes a 24-hour undo. Autopilot GPS can help detect arrivals and departures, time work, and connect job completion with invoicing and customer messages. The software supports automatic invoicing, invoice PDFs or secure links, payment reminders, bank uploads, and payment matching. It queues work offline for recovery when connectivity returns. Ask AI answers plain-language questions about a round, including earnings, pricing, overdue work, and driving time. The web app is live and Android beta access is available; a native iPhone app is planned, while public Google Play release is not yet available. Founding Member beta is free for eligible UK businesses among the first 50; listed paid plans include Founding Standard at £9.99 per month and Standard at £15.99 per month.
