OPS vs PaintLogic

OPS is job management software for service businesses and trades crews, bringing project tracking, crew scheduling, estimates, client management, photo documentation, and job-site navigation together. Teams can mark up job photos with arrows and notes and keep them organized with the related job. When cell service is unavailable, the app saves changes locally and syncs them when connectivity returns. Five permission roles range from Admin to Crew, with field workers restricted to assigned tasks. OPS runs on iOS and the web. A 30-day trial costs nothing for up to 10 users with full feature access; it requires no payment information and does not automatically become paid. The account is suspended at trial end unless a subscription is activated. Starter costs C$90 a month for up to 3 users; Team is C$140 a month for up to 5, and Business is C$190 a month for up to 10. Paid plans include full feature access and unlimited project and photo storage. Invoicing and accounting, pipeline, and inventory are marked in development.

PaintLogic is a web business-management platform built exclusively for painting contractors. It combines room-by-room estimating, proposals with electronic signatures, project work, crew scheduling, lead follow-up, invoicing and payments. Estimates can use production rates, material bills of materials and three pricing modes. AI parses Sherwin-Williams and JC Licht receipts, matches materials to jobs and creates paint schedules with product specifications and QR codes. Project tools include task tracking, photo documentation, subcontractor coordination, compliance alerts, punch lists and change orders. Scheduling detects conflicts and syncs with Google Calendar; GPS-verified time tracking indicates which workers are onsite. The CRM can answer and qualify leads continuously and trigger follow-up from lead stages, estimate views and project milestones. Invoicing supports Stripe payments, deposit, progress and final billing schedules, plus reminders. The free trial is free, with three projects, full Pro features, no time limit and no card. Starter costs $49 a month, Pro $129 a month and Business $249 a month.
