Comparison

MEPSub vs Contractor+

Contractor+ is a low-cost mobile app for residential contractors. Here's an honest, side-by-side look at how it compares with MEPSub — the all-in-one platform built by an MEP/HVAC contractor to run both your project and field-service work.

Bottom line

MEPSub is MEP-native with true commercial submittals and MEP takeoffs Contractor+ doesn't do, and flat $129.99 up to 20 users beats per-user pricing for any real crew.

On the other hand: For a solo residential contractor with no submittal needs, Contractor+'s $0/$29 entry and breadth are hard to beat.
