Right-sized for growing trades
simPRO is built for complex operations — large teams, multi-stage projects, inventory and asset management at scale. That power is real, but so is the onboarding effort and the cost, which is typically quoted per business.
Looplet is built to be right-sized for the 95% of trades that aren’t running an enterprise: sole traders, two-to-three-person crews and growing multi-trade businesses. You start free, run jobs the same day, and let AI draft your quotes and invoices. See the operations page.

AI and field tools included
Looplet bundles AI quote drafting, voice notes, Android Auto and GPS-stamped job photos into paid plans — the day-to-day field tools a working crew uses, without add-ons or modules to configure.
When simPRO might still suit you
If you run a large operation with complex project management, deep inventory and multi-branch needs, simPRO’s scale may be justified. Looplet is the better fit for trades that want simplicity, fast setup, built-in AI and transparent pricing.
