What prompted you to have an electrician come out?
What was the quote? You should expect to pay an electrician about $20 per outlet whether they're pig-tailing or replacing them with aluminum safe ones.
> There are a lot of fixtures and connections that are not aluminum safe
Did you verify this yourself or was it just something an electrician told you? Fixtures and receptacles that are rated for aluminum with bear either AL-CU, CU-AL or CO/ALR markings to indicate they are compatible.
Replacing a wall receptacle or switch is actually very easy to do and aluminum safe receptacles and switches are under $3 each for standard parts. Obviously 3-way switches, and GFCI receptacles cost more but that's true regardless.
Pigtailing is also very easy to do and the pigtails are around $3-4 each.
Aluminum isn't less safe than copper when installed properly, it just got a bad rap because it's handled slightly differently than copper and those differences weren't well understood by electricians when it was introduced.
