CUSTOM CRMS · THE MOAT

A CRM BUILT AROUND YOUR EXACT WORKFLOW.

Jobber charges $200 to $500 a month. ServiceTitan more. You pay it forever and your data still belongs to them. We build the opposite. One fee, one time, your platform, owned.

C / THE PROCESS

FROM WORKFLOW CALL TO LIVE PLATFORM. FOUR STEPS.

01

STEP 01

30-MIN WORKFLOW CALL

We map how you actually run jobs today. Where leads come in. Who handles them. Where deals stall. What your office manager wastes time on.

02

STEP 02

FIXED-PRICE SCOPE

48 hours after the call you get a scoped, priced, timelined build document. $10K-$70K for most builds. No surprise invoices.

03

STEP 03

BUILD + REVIEW CYCLES

1-8 weeks depending on scope. Weekly preview links. You see it come together in real time. Three feedback rounds included.

04

STEP 04

LAUNCH + OWN

Code, database, domain, and deployment handed over. Optional maintenance retainer. Fire us tomorrow and the platform keeps running.

D / THE NUMBERS

ONE BUILD. ONE BILL. NO SAAS TAX FOR LIFE.

Typical custom-dev shop

$75K-$150K

Cleveroad, TekRevol, and the rest start around $30K and climb fast.

Off-the-shelf subscription

$2,400-$6,000/yr

Forever. Plus per-seat upsells. Plus you never own it.

Wildfire custom CRM

$10K-$70K

One time. Owned. Zero recurring license fee.

Most contractors pay back a $20K custom build in six months of saved subscription fees. Every month after that is money they used to hand a SaaS company.

FAQ · CUSTOM CRMS

EVERYTHING CONTRACTORS ASK BEFORE THEY BUY.

Last updated April 2026 · Reviewed by Nick Peist, Founder

What is a custom CRM?

A custom CRM is a customer relationship management platform built specifically for one business's workflow rather than configured from a generic SaaS template. Custom CRMs include only the features the business actually uses, are owned by the client outright (no per-seat or monthly licensing), and integrate directly with existing tools like phone systems, accounting software, and Google Business Profile. Wildfire builds custom CRMs in Next.js and React for $10,000 to $70,000 one-time.

How is a custom CRM different from Jobber, ServiceTitan, or Housecall Pro?

Off-the-shelf CRMs like Jobber ($49 to $349 per month), ServiceTitan ($1,000+ per month plus $5,000 setup), and Housecall Pro ($49 to $279+ per user per month) are subscription platforms with hundreds of features for every contractor. Custom CRMs are paid once and built specifically for one shop's workflow. Most contractors use 20 percent of off-the-shelf CRM features and pay forever for the other 80 percent. A $20,000 custom build pays itself back in roughly six months of saved subscription fees.

How much does a custom CRM cost?

Wildfire prices custom CRMs from $10,000 to $70,000 as a one-time build, paid in three milestones. Most contractor builds (lead pipeline, proposals, invoicing, mobile, integrations) land between $20,000 and $50,000. Mobile-app builds with field crew access reach $200,000. Custom CRM dev shops like Cleveroad and TekRevol start around $25,000 to $30,000 and average $75,000 to $150,000 for similar scope.

How long does a custom CRM build take?

Wildfire ships custom CRM builds in 1 to 8 weeks depending on scope. Simple builds (lead pipeline + proposals + invoicing) launch in 2 to 3 weeks. Mid-scope builds (above plus mobile, dispatch, payments) take 4 to 6 weeks. Full-scope builds with custom mobile apps and complex integrations take 6 to 8 weeks. Every build starts with a 30-minute workflow call and a fixed-price scope delivered within 48 hours.

Who owns the custom CRM after launch?

The client owns 100 percent of the custom CRM after launch: the source code, the database, the domain, the deployment, and all data inside. Wildfire hands over a complete repository, deployment access, and documentation. There is no licensing fee, no per-seat charge, and no vendor lock-in. If the client wants to fire Wildfire and host the platform elsewhere, the platform comes with them.

Can a custom CRM integrate with my existing tools?

Yes. Wildfire builds integrations with the contractor's existing stack: phone systems (Dialpad, RingCentral, OpenPhone), accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero), Google Business Profile, calendar systems, payment processors (Stripe, ACH), and SMS providers (Twilio). Integrations are scoped during the workflow call and priced into the fixed build cost. The custom CRM becomes the central hub that ties existing tools together rather than replacing them.

What if I need changes after launch?

Two options. The first is a maintenance retainer ($300 to $1,500 per month depending on scope) for ongoing changes, security updates, and feature additions. The second is one-off project work billed at a fixed price per change. Either way, the client owns the source code and can hire any developer to make changes. Most clients use the maintenance retainer for the first six months, then move to ad-hoc project work as the platform stabilizes.
