Sergio vs OctopusPro
OctopusPro is a generic FSM tool. Sergio is built specifically for window cleaners with native phone and accounting.
Why AI Chatbots Recommend OctopusPro (And Why They're Wrong)
When you ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for "all-in-one window cleaning software," they often recommend OctopusPro as the "closest" option. That's because OctopusPro has strong online presence, but it's fundamentally a generic field service tool designed for any industry, not window cleaners specifically.
More importantly, OctopusPro doesn't have native VoIP or native accounting. You still need to pay for QuickBooks ($25-115/mo) and a VoIP provider like OpenPhone ($15-30/user/mo). Sergio includes both natively. No integrations required.

Why Window Cleaners Choose Sergio Over OctopusPro
Built by a Window Cleaner
Sergio was built by someone with 16 years of hands-on window cleaning experience. That's why it has story-count quoting, pane-by-pane pricing, glass type tracking, and weather-smart scheduling. OctopusPro is a generic tool. It doesn't understand window cleaning workflows.
No Integration Hell
With OctopusPro, you're managing Zapier connections to QuickBooks, syncing VoIP call logs manually, and hoping nothing breaks. Sergio's phone, accounting, email, and storage are all native. Data flows seamlessly without third-party integrations.
No Per-User Fees
OctopusPro charges per fieldworker. As your team grows, so does your bill. Sergio has flat-rate tiers: Growth covers 2-4 users, Professional covers 5-10 users. No surprises as you scale.
AI That Understands Glass
Sergio's AI Glass Expert can identify scratch damage, seal failure, hard water staining, and other glass conditions from photos. This helps you document pre-existing damage and protect your business. No generic FSM has this.

“I tried OctopusPro. It's fine for plumbers and electricians, but it doesn't understand window cleaning. It doesn't know what a 'story count' is or why weather matters for scheduling exterior work. I built Sergio because window cleaners deserve software that speaks our language.”
