Mentioned vs Repairshopr: AI Visibility for Trade Contractors
You've got two separate problems: getting found by prospects and managing the work once you land it. Mentioned and Repairshopr solve different ones.
Repairshopr is field service software (CRM, scheduling, invoicing, dispatch). Mentioned is an AI visibility audit that tells you whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini recommend you to people searching your trade in your area. They're not competitors. They address different sides of the funnel.
This page explains what each does, where they diverge, and whether you need both.
What Repairshopr Does Well
Repairshopr is a solid field service platform. It handles:
- CRM basics: contact database, job history, notes
- Scheduling: technician dispatch, calendar sync, customer-facing booking
- Invoicing: job estimates, payment processing, recurring billing
- Integration: wires into text/email, routes job forms to techs
If you're managing technicians and want a lightweight (cheaper) alternative to ServiceTitan or HouseCall Pro, Repairshopr works. Clean interface. Proven for plumbers, electricians, HVAC. The pricing is transparent and there's no surprise scaling bills.
Where Mentioned Is Different
Mentioned solves a visibility problem Repairshopr doesn't touch: Are you visible inside the AI that prospects use to find you?
When someone in your service area searches "best HVAC near me" or "electrician reviews," ChatGPT and Perplexity now give recommendations. Those recommendations drive real leads (and revenue). But most trade contractors aren't in those outputs at all. Of 137 audits we ran, the median visibility score was 32/100. The gap between invisible and visible contractors: 47 points on the score.
Mentioned:
- Tracks 4 AI models: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini. Spots what's working and what's missing.
- Focuses on local trades: The dataset is 137 real contractors. Not generic SaaS benchmarks. Real median. Real gap.
- Open methodology: You see exactly how we score you. No black box. CC-BY-4.0 public dataset.
- Actionable: The audit tells you specifically which AI models see you and which ones don't. Then you know what to fix.
Repairshopr doesn't surface this. It's not their problem to solve. They're backend. Mentioned is front-of-funnel.

The Real Situation: You Probably Need Both
Here's the honest take. Repairshopr runs your back office. Mentioned fixes your front door. If you're invisible in AI models, Repairshopr won't change that. If you're visible but can't manage the inbound workload, Repairshopr becomes essential.
Many contractors use Repairshopr or ServiceTitan already. Those tools don't tell you whether ChatGPT knows about you. Mentioned plugs that gap. Run the audit. See your score. Then decide whether you're losing leads to visibility or to poor operations.
Most contractors are losing leads to visibility.
