Your stages, in your words
The pipeline follows the way your business actually sells, from the first request to the finished job, with the stage names you already use.
CRMs
A CRM for your trade, built around your stages.
A CRM built around how your business actually sells: every website form flows in, follow-ups go out by email and, once the number is verified, by text with the customer's consent, they stop when someone replies, and old quotes get a second follow-up.
Getting a quote starts with a short form. Elian calls you first, then sends the quote in writing.
- You own what we build for you once the final invoice is paid.
- Demos are an online video call with the founder, Elian Gonzalez.
- Every demo runs on a made-up business, never on a client's data.
- Extra work is quoted in writing before it starts.
What it does
Follow-up that respects the customer.
Every CRM Sky2Screen builds is shaped around one business, and you own what is built for you once the final invoice is paid.
Every website form flows in
Each request sent through your website lands in the CRM on its own, so no lead waits in an inbox.
Follow-up with consent
Follow-ups go out by email and, once the texting number is verified, by text, only to customers who gave their consent. Consent, opt-outs, quiet hours and send limits are checked in the code before anything is sent.
It stops when someone replies
The moment a customer replies, the follow-ups to that customer stop, so nobody receives a reminder after answering.
A review ask after the job
After a job is marked complete, the CRM asks the customer for a review. One live CRM sends that ask two days after completion.
A second look at old quotes
Quotes that did not turn into jobs can get a second follow-up, by email and by text once the number is verified, under the same consent rules and the same stop on reply.
Renting or owning
What the rented tools publish.
Each of these is a real option, and some owners prefer to keep one. Each one is priced by the month, and some by the user. The prices below are the starting prices on each company's own pricing page on October 6, 2026.

FAQ
Questions about CRMs
What is a good GoHighLevel alternative for contractors?
GoHighLevel lists its plans from $97 a month, with a higher tier at $297 a month, and it suits businesses that want one rented system for funnels, texting and pipelines. The alternative is a CRM built for your business and owned by you: your own sales stages and follow-ups, and you own what is built for you once the final invoice is paid. Sky2Screen builds owned CRMs and also sets up GoHighLevel for owners who prefer to keep it.
How much does a custom CRM cost?
Published guides put a small or focused custom CRM at roughly $18,000 to $80,000. A CRM from Sky2Screen is quoted in writing after a call, scoped to the stages, follow-ups and reports your business actually uses, and you own what is built for you once the final invoice is paid.
Does a Sky2Screen CRM send text messages?
Yes, once the texting number is verified and only to customers who gave their consent. Until the number is verified, follow-ups go out by email. Every message checks consent and opt-outs first, and follow-ups stop when the customer replies.
Can a CRM follow up on old quotes?
Yes. A reactivation run sends a second follow-up on quotes that did not turn into jobs, by email and, once the number is verified, by text, and it stops the moment a customer replies. Sky2Screen does not promise a number of booked jobs from it.
