Early access
An AI office worker that never quits in July.
Shortcut's AI agents take over the office work that buries you in season: chasing invoices, rain-day reshuffles, estimate follow-ups, the phone. Each one drafts the work, you approve it, and it earns more autonomy one task at a time.
Now in early access, for a fraction of what an office hire costs.
Request early access| Role | Drafts | You | Autonomy earned |
|---|---|---|---|
| AR clerkOverdue follow-ups, payment plans | The reminder | You send | Per customer tier |
| Rain-day dispatcherProposes the re-sequence | The move | You confirm | Under 20 jobs |
| Estimate follow-upUnanswered proposals | The nudge | You send | Under $500 |
| PhoneAnswers, books, takes messages | The transcript | You call back | Scheduling only |

Pricing, switching, and what Shortcut does today, in plain words.
How much does Shortcut cost?
$180 per crew per month, or $144 per crew per month billed yearly (20% off). Every feature is included: unlimited users, no base fee, no per-user fees, and no paid add-ons. You only pay for the crews you run. Running one or two crews? Start a 14-day free trial, no card required.
Is moving my data over really free?
Yes. Migration, onboarding, and support carry no fee. Our team moves over your customers, recurring schedules, services and pricing, crews, estimates, invoices, payment history, employees, automations, and property boundaries, then walks you through what came across. Prefer to do it yourself? There's a spreadsheet import too.
How do I switch from Service Autopilot?
Book a 20-minute call to see if Shortcut fits. If it does, you give us access to your Service Autopilot account and we do the rest: we migrate overnight, both systems run side by side for up to two weeks while you review, and your crews switch on a Monday with us on the phone for the first eight hours.
Is Shortcut a good Jobber alternative for multi-crew companies?
Shortcut is built for dispatching crews, not one truck: one dispatch board for every crew, route optimization across the fleet, recurring program rounds, and chemical application records. Pricing is per crew with unlimited users, so adding office staff never raises your bill.
Can Shortcut replace RealGreen for lawn treatment?
It covers the core of a treatment operation: custom chemical programs with seasonal rounds scheduled by due date, and an application record written as each stop is finished. Your mowing routes run on the same board. On a call, we'll show you how your programs map over.
Does Shortcut keep chemical application records?
Yes. When a tech finishes a stop, the record already holds the product, the rate, the treated area from the property map, and the weather at that time. The product catalog includes EPA label lookup and safety data sheets, you set how long records are kept, and compliance exports are built in. Ask us about your state's required fields on a call.
Does Shortcut handle installs and snow removal?
Yes. Run multi-day install jobs billed by the man-hour and price snow removal from measured drives and walks. Rolling out on the same board: projects with phases, change orders, and milestone billing, plus snow dispatch for storm days.
How do my customers pay?
Invoices go out by text or email when the job is done, or per week or per month. Customers pay from the link by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. AutoPay charges saved cards, and bank transfer (ACH) works for one-time payments. Overdue reminders send themselves, and Shortcut syncs with QuickBooks Online.
