Sprigr vs Elyos AI: two approaches to AI for trades.
Elyos AI builds customer-facing AI agents for trade businesses: answering calls, following up leads, booking jobs. Sprigr runs the back office behind the job, on top of your existing tools like simPRO, and does not talk to your customers. Compare the approaches.

Where Sprigr stands out
Back-office admin on top of the tools you already run, secured by architecture not just policy.
-
Works with simPRO
If your trade business already runs on simPRO, Sprigr reads from it and writes back to it. No need to adopt a new job management system. Elyos requires using their own platform.
-
Per-tenant data isolation
Every Sprigr customer gets their own isolated infrastructure. No shared databases, no risk of cross-tenant data leaks. Architecture-first security, not policy-based.
-
Custom workflows
Build multi-step back-office workflows triggered by any event: a job closes, a variation is logged, an invoice goes overdue, a supplier goes quiet. Chain any combination of admin actions together, with approval gates where you want them. Not limited to pre-configured templates.
-
Complete audit trail
Every agent action is logged with timestamps. Know exactly what the AI did, when, and why. Export-ready for compliance. Critical when agents are taking real actions in your business.
-
Transparent pricing
Plans start at $49/month with no long-term contracts. Pay for agent capacity, not per technician. Cancel anytime. Elyos requires contacting sales for pricing.
-
No platform lock-in
Sprigr adds a back-office layer to your existing tools. If you stop using it, your simPRO setup is untouched. Elyos requires adopting their platform, making switching harder.

Questions
What is Elyos AI?
Elyos AI is a YC-backed, London-based startup that raised a $13 million Series A in January 2026. They build autonomous AI agents for skilled trades including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and facilities management. Their agents handle inbound calls, follow up on missed calls, manage email, and book jobs.
How is Sprigr different from Elyos AI?
They sit on opposite sides of the customer conversation. Elyos answers calls, follows up leads, and books jobs for the customer. Sprigr does not talk to customers; it runs the back office behind the job: SWMS and compliance packs, supplier chasers, variation drafts, overdue flags to the owner. Sprigr has a deep native simPRO integration while Elyos works within its own job management, and Sprigr's workflows are customisable rather than pre-configured.
Does Sprigr work with simPRO?
Yes. Sprigr has a deep integration with simPRO via the official API. Jobs, customers, variations, and close-out data are read automatically, and notes and attachments are written back where needed. simPRO stays your system of record, and your team keeps booking and scheduling the work.
Which platform has better data security?
Sprigr uses isolated per-tenant infrastructure per company, meaning your data is never stored in the same database as another customer. Credentials are encrypted at rest and only decrypted at runtime. Every agent action is logged with a complete audit trail. This architecture-first security approach goes beyond typical access controls.
