What field service software costs and where it jumps

The $39 a month is the plain month-to-month rate for one crew, and it covers scheduling, dispatch, invoicing and card payments. Invoices go out from the completed job by email or text, in one-click batches at month end, and unpaid ones get automatic reminders. Crews work from a digital checklist on each job and send photos and videos back to the office.

Both plans on the pricing page carry a published per-crew price and a sign-up link, and paying for a year up front saves 30%. The plan leaves out connections for other software, which Aspire keeps for its larger product. It tracks material use against the estimate but leaves stock valuation out by design, so it does not run truck and shop stock.

The Start plan is $199 a month and already covers ten people, so a one-person shop pays the same. It schedules jobs, sends quotes the customer signs to approve, invoices from the job and takes cards. Darwin, the built-in assistant, carries out anything a person can do in the product from one instruction.

All three plans carry a published price and a sign-up button, and Zapier comes on the middle plan. Card money lands on a rolling two business day cycle in the United States, often sooner, and no paid same-day payout is offered. Help comes by live chat and email, with an assistant answering first and a person brought in from there.

The Flex plan at $19 a month covers estimates, jobs, invoices, the mobile apps, tap-to-pay card payments and bank transfers for a solo business. Estimates go out by text or email, the customer signs online, and an approved estimate becomes a job in one click. Reminder emails chase customers with an open balance on a schedule you choose.

Above Flex sit plans with public prices and a Premium plan named in Kickserv’s help articles. Every plan button starts a free trial you can run on your own jobs. Fast payouts come from the payment processor on accounts that qualify, at 1.5% of the transaction.

The Lite plan is free for good and runs your jobs, customers, invoices and QuickBooks sync. It leaves out estimates and truck and equipment tracking. Standard at $12 a month is the cheapest plan that schedules jobs, sends estimates, invoices and takes card payments.

Finished jobs send their own invoices and are marked paid when the money arrives. Lawn Buddy imports your customer list for free on every plan and charges no setup or migration fee. Plans change up or down from inside the account at any time.

The $49.95 a month base covers the owner and the whole job from quote to payment. Quotes go out as a plain price, as choices or as packages, and once the customer approves on a phone the quote becomes a scheduled job and a ready bill. Its AI reads a customer’s request and job photos to build a priced, branded quote.

Each extra person adds a published price on top of the base. Moving your data over is free. Fast payouts run through Square’s own quick transfer, for a fee Markate does not state.

Setup with Pool Brain is free. Route work invoices itself monthly and can be charged and emailed automatically, with past-due reminders sent for you. Stock is tracked on each truck and deducted when a technician completes a one-time job.

Settled card funds pay out daily once the account is established, and next-day card funding costs an extra 0.50% of card volume while it is switched on. Approved quotes turn into jobs automatically.

Service Fusion sells three plans, Starter, Plus and Pro, each with a printed price. Starter covers jobs, estimates, invoicing and taking payments, and adding a technician costs nothing extra on any plan. Online signing of estimates comes with Pro and is an add-on on Starter and Plus.

Moving up a plan buys features such as online estimate signing, which comes with Pro and is an add-on on Starter and Plus. Every plan covers unlimited users, so hiring another tech leaves the plan you pay for unchanged. The pricing page opens on its yearly view, charged in one payment. A full export of your own records is a paid professional service.

ServiceM8 has a free plan and paid plans up to Premium Plus. Checklists, photos, videos and a signature on the phone come on every plan. An accepted quote becomes the live job without using another monthly job credit.

Building your own inspection or compliance forms needs the Growing plan, and the developer connection for other software starts at Starter, with Zapier on every plan. A day’s takings land in the bank the next business day. It sells in the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia with priced plans in each currency.
