## What each one costs

### [Aspire Crew Control](https://dispatchmath.com/crew-control)

**Best for landscaping crews with a small office:** Aspire Crew Control prices by the crew at $39 a month and is built for landscaping contractors running one to ten crews with a small office team.

Price From $39 a crew a month

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.

**What it does well**

- Invoices go out from the finished job by email or text, in one-click batches at month end, with automatic reminders.
- Paying for a year up front saves 30% on the $39 a month crew rate.
- You sign up online, set it up yourself and run your own jobs on a free trial before paying.
- Your list of services and parts loads from a file or from QuickBooks.

**Where it falls short**

- No Zapier or API: open connections for other software sit with the larger Aspire product.
- Support is a named team by email plus help articles, with no phone line, chat or published hours.
- Stock valuation is left out by design, so truck and shop stock need another tool.

- **Who it’s for:** A landscaping contractor with one to ten crews and a small office who wants month-end invoices sent in one batch from the finished jobs.
- **Skip it if:** Other software has to connect to your jobs: Crew Control publishes no Zapier link or API, while fieldd connects through Zapier on its middle plan.

### [fieldd](https://dispatchmath.com/fieldd)

**Best for customers who book and pay online:** fieldd fits mobile and shop service businesses that want customers to book and pay online themselves, running quote to job to invoice to payment in one flow from $199 a month.

Price From $199 a month

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.

**What it does well**

- Customers approve quotes with their signature, and one flow runs quote to job to invoice to payment.
- The Start plan at $199 a month covers ten people.
- Darwin, the built-in assistant, does anything a person can do in the product from one instruction.
- Workers tick off a task list and take before and after photos, and the office can require the customer’s signature.

**Where it falls short**

- A one-person business pays the full $199 a month, with no cheaper solo rate.
- Zapier starts on the middle plan, a step above Start.
- Support is live chat and email with no phone line and no stated hours.

- **Who it’s for:** A service business with a crew of up to ten people, since the $199 a month Start plan already covers ten, that wants online booking and payment.
- **Skip it if:** You work alone and want a small bill: fieldd has no cheaper solo rate than the $199 Start plan, while Kickserv’s Flex plan covers a solo business at $19 a month.

### [Kickserv](https://dispatchmath.com/kickserv)

**Best for home service shops on a starter budget:** Kickserv’s Flex plan at $19 a month covers estimates, jobs, invoices, the mobile apps and tap-to-pay card payments, enough to run a small home service shop on a starter budget.

Price From $75 a month

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.

**What it does well**

- Flex at $19 a month covers estimates, jobs, invoices, the mobile apps and tap-to-pay.
- An approved estimate becomes a job in one click after the customer signs online.
- Fast payouts are available on qualifying accounts for 1.5% of the transaction.
- The account owner can export data from settings, and the items list has its own import and export.

**Where it falls short**

- Reports cover expenses by job, technician and vendor, but none shows profit on each job after labor and parts.
- Support is a phone number and email with no stated hours and no live chat.
- The Premium plan appears in help articles with its price unstated, so the top of the range is unclear.

- **Who it’s for:** A small home service business that wants scheduling, quotes and payments in one place at $19 a month.
- **Skip it if:** You want help by chat at any hour: Kickserv publishes a phone line and email with no stated hours and no live chat, while ServiceM8 staffs chat and email around the clock.

### [Lawn Buddy](https://dispatchmath.com/lawn-buddy)

**Best for seasonal lawn crews on a tight budget:** Lawn Buddy suits lawn crews whose headcount changes with the season: the Lite plan is free for good, Standard is $12 a month, and you move between them from inside the account.

Price Free, then $12 a month

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.

**What it does well**

- The Lite plan is free for good, so you can run a whole season beside your current software.
- Standard at $12 a month adds estimates you can send, take part payment on and turn into a scheduled job.
- A person answers the phone in Wichita on every plan, including the free one.
- All your data downloads as a spreadsheet file on every plan.

**Where it falls short**

- The free Lite plan has no estimates, and truck and equipment tracking start at Standard.
- No way for other software to connect is published.
- Phone support runs Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm Central, so an early breakdown waits.

- **Free plan:** yes
- **Who it’s for:** A lawn care or landscaping crew that grows and shrinks with the season and wants to start on the free Lite plan.
- **Skip it if:** Cash flow needs card money fast: payouts take one to three business days with no faster option, while ServiceM8 lands a day’s takings the next business day.

### [Markate](https://dispatchmath.com/markate)

**Best for cleaning firms wanting one owner price:** Markate charges one base price of $49.95 a month that covers the owner and the whole job from quote to payment, which fits a cleaning firm run by its owner.

Price From $49.95 a month

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.

**What it does well**

- One base price of $49.95 a month covers the owner from quote to payment.
- Quotes can offer choices or packages, and the AI estimator prices work against your own catalog.
- Bills can repeat or run in stages, and unpaid ones are chased automatically.
- Markate moves your data over for free.

**Where it falls short**

- Each extra person adds to the base price.
- Phone, chat and email help runs Monday to Friday 9 to 5 Mountain time.
- Instant payouts go through Square for a fee Markate does not state.

- **Who it’s for:** A small home service or cleaning firm that wants one base price per owner covering quotes through payment.
- **Skip it if:** Your crew is growing fast: each extra person adds a published price to the bill, while Service Fusion adds technicians at no extra cost.

### [Pool Brain](https://dispatchmath.com/pool-brain)

**Best for pool routes billing monthly maintenance:** Pool Brain fits pool service companies billing monthly maintenance, because route work invoices itself each month and can be charged and emailed automatically.

Price From $50 a month

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.

**What it does well**

- Monthly route invoices are created, charged and emailed automatically.
- Truck stock is tracked by location and deducted as technicians complete jobs.
- Setup is free.
- Other software connects through Pool Brain’s own documented connection for invoices and payments.

**Where it falls short**

- No bulk export of customers, jobs and invoices is documented, and the terms let Pool Brain discard your content once the agreement ends.
- Support is a help-center messenger with no phone number or published hours.

- **Who it’s for:** A pool service company running technician routes that wants monthly invoices and truck stock handled in one system.
- **Skip it if:** You want to take every customer, job and invoice with you when you leave: no bulk export is documented, while Markate lets you download your data as spreadsheet or document files.

### [Service Fusion](https://dispatchmath.com/service-fusion)

**Best for heating, plumbing and electrical contractors:** Service Fusion bills one flat plan price however many technicians you add, which suits heating and cooling, plumbing and electrical contractors running 3 to 30 technicians.

Price On quote

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.

**What it does well**

- Every plan carries unlimited users, so a growing crew stays on one flat company price.
- Estimates can carry several priced options for the customer to choose from.
- Phone, email and live chat help is unlimited on every plan.
- Offline mode lets techs read jobs, add notes and photos and finish checklists on site, then syncs once coverage returns.

**Where it falls short**

- Online signing of estimates is an add-on on Starter and Plus.
- A full export of your records is a paid professional service.
- Support hours stop at 6pm central Monday to Thursday and 5pm on Friday, with no weekend cover named.

- **Who it’s for:** A heating and cooling, plumbing or electrical contractor with 3 to 30 technicians who wants the bill to stay put as the crew grows.
- **Skip it if:** You work alone: a one-person business pays the same Starter price as a full crew, while Markate’s base price covers just the owner.

### [ServiceM8](https://dispatchmath.com/servicem8)

**Best for trades that quote and invoice on site:** ServiceM8 fits crews who quote, invoice and take payment on site, with quotes the customer accepts online that become the live job, and a free plan to start on.

Price Free, then $29 a month

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.

**What it does well**

- A free plan to start.
- Customers view and accept quotes online, and the accepted quote becomes the live job.
- A day’s takings land in the bank the next business day.
- Chat and email support are staffed around the clock.

**Where it falls short**

- Building your own inspection or compliance forms needs the Growing plan.
- The developer connection for other software starts at Starter, above the free plan.
- Support has no phone line, only chat and email.

- **Free plan:** yes
- **Who it’s for:** A small trade or service crew that quotes, invoices and takes payment on site and wants to start on a free plan.
- **Skip it if:** You want a support phone line: ServiceM8 helps by chat and email, while Kickserv publishes a support phone number.
