How we compared
We looked at what an owner of a service business actually asks: What will it cost as my team grows? Can my customers book online in my own brand? Will it handle my AMC contracts and renewals? Do I still need a separate HR or payroll app? Will it work in my country? Every competitor fact comes from the vendor's own pricing or help pages, listed under Sources. Where a vendor does not say, we write "not listed" — it may still be possible. We make FieldN, so we also say where others are the better pick.
FieldN — best complete suite for any country
One connected system: a booking portal and customer app in your brand, a technician app for Android and iPhone, and an office back end with smart dispatch, work orders, estimates, invoices, parts and stock, AMC contracts with planned visits and renewals, an equipment register, complaints with SLA timers, WhatsApp messages, full HR and payroll, and AI reports. You set your own currency and tax rates. Pricing is quoted after a free demo, so you cannot sign up and see a price list on your own today. See FieldN
ServiceTitan — best for large US trade contractors
A deep platform for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, garage door, roofing, pest control and other trades, priced per technician, with no public prices — you request a quote for its Starter, Essentials or The Works plans. Strong for big US contractors with office staff to run it. FieldN vs ServiceTitan
Jobber — best simple app for small teams
Easy to start, with plans from $29 a month for one user on yearly billing, and extra users at $29 a month each. Quotes, scheduling, invoicing, online booking and a client hub are well done for small home service teams; higher plans add checklists, time tracking and QuickBooks Online sync. FieldN vs Jobber
Housecall Pro — best for US and Canadian home service companies
Three plans with published prices: Basic $59, Essentials $149 and Max $299 a month on yearly billing (1, 5 and 8 users). Online booking is on every plan; recurring service plans only on Max, and payroll is a paid add-on. Built for the US and Canada. FieldN vs Housecall Pro
Zoho FSM — lowest cost to start
A free edition (up to 20 users and 30 appointments a month) and paid editions from $30 a month for the whole organisation, with 60 appointments a month included and more charged by volume. Asset management comes with Professional; maintenance plans and WhatsApp with Premium. A good fit if you already use other Zoho apps. FieldN vs Zoho FSM
ServiceM8 — best for solo tradies who pay by the job
Priced by jobs per month, not by user: free for 30 jobs, then $29 for 50 jobs up to $349 for 1,500 jobs. Unlimited users on paid plans, online booking, recurring jobs and apps for iPhone, iPad and Android. FieldN vs ServiceM8
Workiz — best for US home service pros who want phone and payments
Standard, Pro and Ultimate plans, with prices given on request, a 7-day free trial, a built-in phone system and its own payment tools (Workiz Pay). Inventory and service plans are on Ultimate only. FieldN vs Workiz
Zuper — per-user platform with contracts and assets
Priced per user and billed yearly; Zuper's own blog puts the starting price at about $55 per user a month. It has a contracts module, an assets module and a customer portal. FieldN vs Zuper
