PaintLogic vs Surfacely

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.

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.
