Frequently asked questions

Yes, Fergus is significantly cheaper than SimPro by around $948 per year. That savings amount also assumes that you don't have any SimPro add-ons such as digital forms, data feed, 'Simtrac', etc. Each of these add-ons add an additional expense onto your subscription. 

Fergus on the other hand only has one very low cost add-on for SMS. Otherwise, all the features you need are included in your subscription - no add-ons needed! 

SimPro also charges an initial set-up fee. 

Price comparison compares 1 user on an equivalent 'premium/professional' account. Accurate as of December 2025.

Fergus is widely reviewed as more intuitive and easier to lean than SimPro. This ease of use can make it easier for you and your team to actually use and understand the software, increasing adoption. 

Users also mention value for money frequently. SimPro comes in at a higher subscription price and has a number of fairly key features listed as add-ons that come at additional expense.
