Bid it from the driveway.
Have it signed before the chipper's warm.
VERA turns your on-site walk into a tree-by-tree bid, sorts the flood of calls after a storm, groups crane and crew days, offers stump grinding on every removal, and invoices the job. Every message waits for your approval.

Powering tree service companies from one bucket truck to several crews
Where tree jobs fall through.
The climbing is the skilled part. The office around it is where tree companies lose work.
Bids typed up days later
You walked the property Tuesday and the bid goes out Saturday. VERA drafts it from your recording the same afternoon.
Storm calls in no order
After a storm, a tree on a house and a branch in the yard look the same in voicemail. VERA groups them by what each caller said.
Crane days that don't fill
A crane on site for one job is expensive. VERA proposes grouping nearby big removals on the same day.
Stumps left behind
Most removals could include stump grinding and many do not. VERA drafts the add-on offer after each removal.
Calls while you're in the canopy
No one answers a phone with a saw running. Vera, the AI receptionist, answers, takes details, and puts emergencies through.
Dormant season left empty
Winter pruning is the time to fill the calendar. VERA drafts the offer to last year's customers.
Walk the property, VERA writes the bid.
Tree work is priced standing under the tree. VERA turns that walk into paperwork, and you approve it.
Tell VERA what you need. What comes back is a finished document, not a blank form.
6 documents tree service companies actually send, set up with your business details, your pricing, and your branding.
Triage · 14 replies drafted
“The storm last night. Sort the calls.”

Offers · 8 drafted
“Which removals this month didn't include stump grinding?”
Each completed removal without a stump line, with a short offer to come back and grind it, queued for your approval.
Schedule · 2 jobs grouped
“Book the crane day for the two big removals.”
A proposed date on the crew calendar with both jobs back to back, plus a notice to each homeowner about access and parking, drafted for you.

VERA for Tree Service Companies, in plain terms.
The questions people ask before they sign up, answered without the sales pitch.
What is VERA?
VERA is an AI business operations assistant for tree service companies. It prepares quotes, invoices, follow-ups, scheduling changes, marketing content, customer messages and reports using the tools your business already uses. VERA works approval-first: it drafts the work and shows it to you, and nothing is sent, posted, booked or charged until you approve it.
Who is VERA for?
VERA is built for owner-operated and small-team businesses that run on jobs, quotes and invoices, and for the person in that business who does the office work after hours. It ships tailored setups for trades and home services, professional services, agencies, property and real estate, retail, hospitality, healthcare and auto repair.
How does VERA work?
VERA follows four steps: propose, approve, execute, log. You describe what you need in plain English, or VERA spots the work itself from your jobs and messages. It drafts the result and puts it in an approval queue. You approve, edit or reject it. Only then does VERA send it, and it records what it did.
Will VERA contact my customers without my permission?
No. Every message, quote, invoice, post and reminder that leaves your business waits in an approval queue until you approve it. You can turn on automatic sending for specific routine tasks, but only under rules you set yourself, and the default for everything is off. Every action VERA takes is written to an activity log you can read.
What software does VERA work with?
VERA connects to the accounting, calendar, payment, messaging, review and social tools most small businesses already run, including QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Gmail, Outlook, Stripe, Square, Instagram, Facebook and Mailchimp. You connect a tool by signing in to it, not by pasting API keys, and you can disconnect any of them at any time.
How much does VERA cost?
VERA has a free tier and four paid plans: Starter at $49 a month, Pro at $99 a month, Business at $199 a month and Agency at $399 a month. Every plan carries a month of AI work, connected integrations, scheduled tasks and team seats, and they differ by how much of each. The cheapest paid plan is Starter at $49 a month, and annual billing costs less than monthly.
What does VERA not do?
VERA does not act on your behalf without approval, and it does not replace your accountant, your lawyer or your licensed trades work. It does not file your taxes, sign contracts for you, or make decisions about hiring or firing. It is a web application only, with no desktop install, and it is sold in the United States.
Plugs into what tree crews already use.
Connect your field-service, photo, accounting, and lead tools so VERA works from your real bids and jobs.
Sign in once, no API keys. VERA reads only what you approve. Logos indicate available integrations, not partnerships.
Browse all 160 integrationsOne application for almost everything the business runs on.
Quoting, jobs, invoicing, customers, scheduling and marketing in one place, sharing the same data. No stack of six tools that do not talk to each other, and no re-typing the same job into three of them.

Is VERA the right call for you?
Including the cases where the answer is no. Those are the ones worth reading.
Is VERA right for my business?
VERA fits best when the office work is the bottleneck: quotes going out late, follow-ups not happening, invoices sitting unpaid, and nobody on payroll to chase them. It suits tree service companies with one to about twenty-five people. If your admin is already fully covered by staff you trust, VERA has less to add.
How is VERA different from a general AI assistant like ChatGPT?
A general assistant writes text in a chat window and then you copy it somewhere. VERA is connected to your business: it reads your real jobs, customers, quotes and invoices, produces work inside those records, and can send it once you approve. It also keeps an approval queue and an activity log, which a chat window has no concept of.
How is VERA different from hiring a virtual assistant?
A virtual assistant is a person you hire, train, schedule and pay by the hour, typically several hundred to a few thousand dollars a month. VERA is software starting at $49 a month that works instantly, at any hour, and never needs handover notes. A person handles judgement and phone calls better; VERA handles volume and consistency better.
Is VERA safe to use with customer data?
Connector credentials are encrypted at rest, traffic is served over HTTPS, and you can disconnect any integration at any time to revoke access. VERA reads only what you connect and only writes what you approve. You can export your data and delete your account. The published security page states plainly what is in place and what is not yet.
Can I try VERA before paying?
Yes. There is a free tier that runs with no payment details, and a 7-day trial of the Business feature set. VERA also ships demo data for every connector, so you can watch it draft a quote, an invoice and a follow-up before connecting a single account. You can cancel at any time and export your data on the way out.

What a plan covers
Every plan carries a month of AI work. Everything you do with your own records is unmetered, so the only thing a heavy month can slow down is new drafting.
Uses your month of AI work
- Drafting a quote, an estimate, or a material takeoff
- Writing a customer reply, a follow-up, or a proposal
- Posts, captions, and a content calendar written for you
- Reading an invoice or a receipt you scanned in
- Research on your market and your competitors
- Reports and analysis of how the business is doing
Never touches it
- Sending a quote or an invoice you already approved
- Taking a payment and recording what came in
- Jobs and appointments moving through the calendar
- Reading, editing, and exporting your own records
- Connecting a tool, and everything it syncs in
- Adding people to the team and setting their access
Good to know
Open any question for the detail.
What are the plan limits?
Each plan includes a set number of seats, connected integrations, and scheduled tasks (see each card). Approval and automation capabilities also step up by plan.
What happens in a really busy month?
If you reach the end of a month's AI work, new drafting pauses and nothing else changes. Your data stays put, everything you already approved still runs, and your allowance refills at the start of the next billing cycle.
What do I get during the 7-day trial?
Enough AI work to put VERA through a real week of your own jobs, which is less than a paid month. Upgrade any time and your plan's full allowance and features unlock immediately.
How do I know how much I have left?
Your account header shows how much of the month is left, and the Usage page lists every job VERA has run and what it took. Nothing is spent without appearing there.
Frequently asked questions.
Can VERA write a tree bid from my walk around the property?
Yes. Record the walk in VERA or upload the audio, add photos, and VERA drafts a tree-by-tree bid from your own rates. You adjust it and approve it before the homeowner sees it.
What does VERA do after a storm?
Calls to your business number are answered by Vera, the AI receptionist, who takes details and puts emergencies through to you. Every call, text, and message lands in one Inbox, and VERA drafts replies with arrival windows for your approval.
Does VERA handle tree removal permits?
No. VERA does not file permits or check local tree ordinances. If your area requires a permit, note it on the job so the whole crew sees it before the work is scheduled.
Will VERA contact homeowners without my okay?
Not unless you create a rule for a specific routine message. Bids, replies, and invoices are drafted and held for you, and every action is logged.
Can it help sell stump grinding and pruning?
Yes. VERA lists removals without a stump line and past customers due for pruning, and drafts the offer to each for your approval.
Which tools does it connect to?
Jobber, CompanyCam, QuickBooks, Google Business Profile, Angi, Square, and more from VERA's connector list. You connect each one by signing in.
