What it really costs
Simpro will not tell you the price.
Simpro does not publish pricing. What exists instead is a demo request, and a set of third-party figures that disagree with each other by more than a factor of two for the same product.
That disagreement is the useful finding. When one source says thirty dollars a user and another says seventy, neither of them knows. It also tells you the price is negotiated rather than set, which means what you pay depends partly on how you negotiate.
What they do publish
Tier names, user bands, and no number anywhere.
What they say instead of a number. “Pricing is quote only. The published route is a demo request rather than a price list.”
Why we are not filling the gap
Review sites carry figures for Simpro. We are not repeating them, because they disagree with each other and none of them come from the vendor. A number you cannot check is not information, it is decoration.
The absence is the finding. A price you have to be sold before you can see is a price set against you rather than against the product.

The sum
You can still do the sum. You just have to supply the number they would not.
Do it on your own number
Set the dial to whatever Simpro quoted you. If you have not been quoted yet, that is the point of this page.
Honestly
What Simpro is good at, and where it stops fitting.
Genuinely good
- Serious capability for larger contractors: projects, stock, prefabrication and multi-stage jobs
- If you genuinely run projects rather than jobs, most of the cheaper products cannot do what this does
Where it stops
- Priced per user, so the meter runs on headcount
- Third-party sources quote figures that differ by more than double for the same product, which is what happens when nobody can check
- Users report contracted annual increases, which is a cost you agree to years before you feel it
If Simpro fits, stay on it. A build is worth doing when the software is fighting the business, or when the meter has grown past what the software is worth to you. Neither of those is true for everyone reading this, and we would rather say so here than on the invoice.
The alternative
What we would build instead.
Simpro is serious software for larger contractors. Projects, stock, prefabrication and multi-stage work are real capability, and if you genuinely run projects rather than jobs, most of the cheaper products cannot do what it does. This is not a page arguing you should rip it out on price alone.
The two costs that are not on any invoice
The first is the annual increase. Users report contracted rises, which is a cost you agree to years before you feel it, so ask for the increase clause in writing before you sign. The second is implementation: configurable products carry setup cost, and it is usually quoted separately from licences.
What we would build
For a contractor at this size a build is a Complex project rather than a Basic one, and we would scope it honestly rather than pretend a fixed $9,000 covers project accounting. What it buys is a system shaped around your actual staging, your compliance obligations and your reporting, with no per-user meter and no annual increase.
See trades, or ServiceM8 for a trades product that does publish its prices.
Common questions
Simpro, answered plainly.
How much does Simpro cost?
Simpro does not publish pricing. The published route is a demo request rather than a price list, and third-party sources quote figures that differ by more than double for the same product. Checked 17 August 2026.
Is Simpro priced per user?
Simpro is generally sold on a per-user basis, so the meter runs on headcount. Without a published rate the only way to know your number is to be quoted, which is the substance of this page.
Does Simpro raise prices annually?
Users report contracted annual increases. We cannot verify a specific percentage from any Simpro-published source, which is precisely why you should ask for the increase clause in writing before signing rather than after.
What should I ask for on a Simpro quote?
The per-user rate at your headcount, the implementation and setup cost as a separate line, the minimum term, and the annual increase clause. Implementation on configurable field service software is routinely a significant number and it rarely appears in the first conversation.
Is a custom build a realistic alternative to Simpro?
For a genuine projects business it is a Complex build, from $18,000, and we would scope it properly rather than quote a fixed price we cannot stand behind. For a contractor whose work is really jobs rather than projects, a Premium build at $9,000 often covers it with room to spare.
Where to next
Bring the invoice, not the brochure.
The free cost check takes twenty minutes. We add up what you actually pay across every meter, run it out five years, and tell you honestly whether a build is worth it for a business your size. You keep the numbers either way.
