Looking for a Fence.Cloud Alternative?
Fence.cloud handles the back office well. But if you need more leads, faster quotes, and automated follow-up, it leaves gaps. Here is an honest breakdown of both platforms so you can decide what fits your operation.
What Fence.Cloud Does Well
Credit where it is due. Fence.cloud built a solid operations platform for fence contractors who need structure behind the scenes.
Project Scheduling
Assign crews to jobs, manage timelines, and track project status from estimate to completion.
GPS Crew Tracking
See where your crews are in real time. Helpful for multi-job days and route planning.
Invoicing
Generate invoices, track payments, and manage the financial side of each project.
Where Fence.Cloud Falls Short
Fence.cloud was built for operations. It was not built to capture leads or convert website visitors into booked estimates. That gap costs contractors deals.
No Fence Visualizer
Homeowners cannot see what a fence looks like on their yard before committing. No photo rendering, no style previews.
No Instant Web Quotes
No way for visitors to get an instant estimate from your website. Every lead requires a manual callback.
No Missed-Call Text-Back
Miss a call and the lead goes cold. Fence.cloud has no automated text response for missed calls.
Limited Lead Gen and Marketing
No automated follow-up sequences. No review request automation. No embeddable lead capture widgets for your website.
What FenceFaster Does Well
FenceFaster was built for the front office. It captures leads from your website, converts them with automated follow-up, and closes deals before they go cold.
Fence Visualizer
Homeowners upload a yard photo and see their fence rendered in seconds. Embeds on your website. Captures contact info on every use.
Instant Quote Generator
Visitors get a ballpark estimate on your website without calling. Generates a lead with every quote request.
Automated Follow-Up
CRM fires text and email sequences the moment a lead comes in. No manual work. No leads sitting untouched.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Miss a call and the system sends an automatic text within seconds. Keeps the lead warm while you finish the current job.
Review Automation
Automatically sends review requests after job completion. Builds your Google reputation without manual follow-up.
Website Embed
Every tool embeds directly on your existing website. No separate login portal for your customers to find.
What FenceFaster Does Not Do
FenceFaster focuses on lead capture and conversion. It does not replace your back-office operations software. Here is what it does not cover.
No Crew Scheduling
FenceFaster does not assign crews to jobs or manage daily schedules. Use fence.cloud, Jobber, or a dedicated field tool for that.
No GPS Tracking
No real-time crew location tracking. If you need to know where your trucks are, fence.cloud or a fleet GPS tool handles that.
No Invoicing
FenceFaster does not generate invoices or track payments. Many contractors run both platforms to cover the full workflow.
