How we compare with ServiceM8
A long-standing, iOS-first tool popular with solo operators and small teams.
ServiceM8 is strongest in the van: its iPhone and iPad apps are excellent and have been refined over many years. Two things separate us. It is priced by how many jobs you process rather than how many people you employ, and its Android app is deliberately a reduced version of the iOS one. We should be straight about the other direction too: an iOS app is planned but not built, so today an iPhone team gets our installable web app rather than a native one. If that matters to you, this is not a close contest.
