FollowFire vs simPRO
simPRO is an enterprise-grade field service management platform built for trade contractors — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire protection — covering quoting, scheduling, job costing, inventory, and invoicing. FollowFire focuses on the moment before any of that: responding to every new inbound lead in 60 seconds via AI text before the prospect calls a competitor. simPRO runs complex trade operations. FollowFire wins the jobs that feed those operations.
FollowFire wins for contractors who need instant 60-second AI response to new web leads before competitors answer. simPRO wins for larger trade contractors managing multi-stage job costing, inventory, and field teams across complex projects.
Feature Comparison
Key Differences
Enterprise job management vs instant lead capture
simPRO is designed for complex multi-stage projects — quoting, job costing, inventory tracking, field dispatch, and invoicing across large trade operations. FollowFire solves a different problem: the 60-second window after a prospect submits a web form. That moment is when most jobs are won or lost to a faster competitor.
simPRO doesn't capture new leads automatically
simPRO requires office staff to manually create a new job or contact when a lead arrives. FollowFire fires an AI-personalized text within 60 seconds of any form submission — no human action, no delay. For busy trade contractors fielding leads from Google LSA or Angi, that speed advantage directly impacts booking rates.
Use together for full coverage
FollowFire and simPRO complement each other. FollowFire handles instant lead response and qualification. When the lead is ready, your team creates the job in simPRO and manages the full workflow from there. Most contractors add FollowFire in 20 minutes via webhook without touching their simPRO setup.
We use simPRO for everything after a job is booked. But new web leads were going cold before anyone even saw them. FollowFire closes that gap — we text every lead in under a minute now.
