40 years of fence software vs. the one that answers your phone
Fence Cloud is built for the shop. Fenceworks is built for the truck.
Fence Cloud has been estimating fences since 1985. Supplier catalogs, shop drawings, gate cut sheets, retail POS. If you fabricate chain link for a living, it's the tool. If you're an owner quoting vinyl in driveways, you're paying $220 a month for depth you'll never open, and still missing the call that came in while you were there.
What Fence Cloud does well
- The deepest fence-specific estimating engines on the market: chain link, wood, vinyl, ornamental, with pre-configured supplier catalogs.
- Shop drawings, gate cut sheets, blueprint upload. Real fabrication support.
- Every feature on every tier; pricing scales by users only.
- Hundreds of fence companies, some for 20+ years. It's stable.
Where it stops
- No satellite measurement. You drive to every site to measure.
- No AI phone, no text-back, no follow-up sequences. Appointment reminders only.
- $220/mo to start, and the homeowner website estimator (GeoDraw) is another $99/mo.
- Demo-led. No sandbox, no self-serve trial.
- No crew GPS time, no 3D visualizer, no print kit.
- Testimonials are 20-year customers. The product is built for the customer it already has.

Fenceworks vs. Fence Cloud.
You enter your products and prices once in the price book and Fenceworks builds every quote from them. It doesn't ship with pre-loaded national catalogs. Your supplier's own price sheet imports from CSV and updates your product costs.
It produces layout drawings the crew builds from. It does not produce fabrication-grade shop drawings or gate cut sheets. If you need those, Fence Cloud is the better tool.
Different customer. Fence Cloud carries 40 years of features for shops. Fenceworks carries the ones an owner-operator uses every day.
