Trusso

Trusso (trussoapp.com) is a mobile-first business management application built for independent contractors and small field-service crews ¹. Available on iOS, Android, and the web ¹, it consolidates lead capture, AI-powered estimating, customer management, crew scheduling, invoicing, and online payments into a single app ¹. The company describes itself as “software for the contractors big software forgot” ².

Trusso is developed by Verticos.ai, a technology company based in the San Francisco Bay Area that builds AI-powered tools for small businesses ²³. Verticos.ai also publishes Scanstead (a LiDAR-based property capture app), Verticos for Travel (travel advisory workflow tool), and Sendvanta (outbound email platform) ³.

Product

Trusso covers six core functions from a single mobile interface ¹:

• Lead capture. Auto-imports leads from Angi, Thumbtack, Yelp, Google Local Services, HomeAdvisor, and website contact forms ¹. AI reads the incoming email, creates a customer record, extracts the address and job description, and drafts an estimate ¹. Users can also forward leads from any source to a unique @trussoapp.com address ¹. Houzz, Bark, Porch, Facebook Lead Ads, and Google Lead Forms are listed as upcoming integrations ¹.

• Estimates. AI generates professional estimates from a job description, drawing on the user’s saved pricebook of services, materials, and rates ¹. Estimates include a branded online approval page and can be sent by email or SMS ¹.

• Crew scheduling. Job assignments, check-in/check-out, job photos, and time tracking for crew members ¹.

• Invoicing. AI-generated invoices with support for milestone-based billing on larger jobs ¹. Tracks paid, unpaid, and overdue invoices with email and text reminders ¹.

• Payments. Accepts credit card payments via Stripe or Square, plus Venmo and Zelle ¹.

• CRM. Customer database with contact management, job history, notes, and a unified communication timeline for email and SMS ¹.

Pricing

All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required ¹. There are no onboarding fees, no contracts, and no per-seat add-ons ¹. Annual billing saves 20% ¹.

Plan	Monthly price	Crew logins included
Starter	$29/mo	Owner + 2 1
Pro	$59/mo	Owner + 10 1
Unlimited	$99/mo	No cap 1

AI-powered estimates and invoices are included on every plan, not sold as a separate add-on ¹.

Trusso also offers a referral program: referring contractors earn $5 to $15 per month (depending on the referred user’s plan), capped at 12 months, with a $25 minimum for cash-out via Venmo or Zelle ¹.

How leads work

Trusso connects to a contractor’s Gmail or Microsoft 365 account via read-only OAuth, or accepts forwarded emails ¹. When a lead arrives from a supported marketplace, the system parses the email, creates the customer, matches against existing records to prevent duplicates, and generates a draft estimate ¹. Replies sent from within Trusso route through the marketplace’s relay address, so the conversation stays in one timeline without requiring the contractor to log back into Angi or Thumbtack ¹.

The company reports a “30 seconds from lead received to draft estimate” turnaround ¹. Email payloads are deleted after processing unless the user opts to keep them for audit ¹.

Who it’s for

Trusso explicitly targets independent contractors and small businesses, not franchises or large operations ¹. The homepage lists remodelers, painters, flooring contractors, roofers, general contractors, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and landscapers as its intended users ¹. The about page states that “every feature is designed for owner-run shops and growing crews running jobs from a truck” ².

How it compares

Trusso positions itself against both enterprise-grade field service platforms (Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan) and lightweight estimating apps (Joist, Invoice Fly) ¹.

Feature	Trusso	Jobber	Housecall Pro	ServiceTitan	Joist
Starting price	$29/mo 1	$49/mo (1 user) 4	$59/mo (1 user) 5	~$245/tech/mo 6	$10/mo 7
Per-seat fees	None 1	$19–29/user add-on 4	$35/user on MAX 5	Per-tech pricing 6	None 7
AI lead-to-estimate	Yes 1	No 4	No 5	No 6	No 7
Auto-import Angi/Thumbtack leads	Yes 1	No 4	No 5	No 6	No 7
Online payments	Stripe, Square, Venmo, Zelle 1	Stripe, Square 4	Housecall Pro Payments 5	ServiceTitan Payments 6	Stripe 7
Setup fees	$0 1	$0 4	$0 5	$5K–$50K 6	$0 7
Free trial	14 days 1	14 days 4	14 days 5	Demo only 6	14 days 7

Pricing reflects common plan tiers as of August 2026. Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, and Joist are trademarks of their respective owners.

Alternatives

• Choose Jobber if you need a mature platform with a large integration marketplace and are willing to pay per-user fees as your team grows ⁴.
• Choose Housecall Pro if you want built-in marketing tools (email campaigns, review management) alongside dispatching and invoicing ⁵.
• Choose ServiceTitan if you run a mid-to-large HVAC, plumbing, or electrical operation that needs call booking, dispatching, and a full back-office suite ⁶.
• Choose Joist if you only need lightweight estimating and invoicing and want the lowest possible monthly cost ⁷.
• Choose Invoice Fly if you need a simple mobile invoicing app without field service features and prefer annual pricing ($99/year) ⁸.
