The alternatives
Sam
ServiceM8 runs jobs and staff. Sam doesn't schedule or dispatch jobs. Sam answers your calls with an AI receptionist, gives you a website and sends automatic reminders for unpaid invoices.
Jobber
Field service management software for home and commercial service businesses: quotes, scheduling and dispatch, invoicing and online payments, a client hub and online booking, with add-ons for a website, an AI receptionist and Google review requests. Best for: service businesses with crews or technicians to schedule and dispatch every day.
Tradify
Job management software for trades: quotes and estimates, job scheduling, timesheets, invoicing with automatic overdue reminders, card payments and an instant website. Best for: trade businesses that want quoting, scheduling and job tracking in one app.
A simple invoicing app and your calendar
Enough for a one or two-person business that doesn't dispatch crews: quotes and invoices in an accounting app, jobs in a shared calendar.
Spreadsheets and paper job sheets
Free and flexible, but nothing reminds customers to pay, and jobs get lost when you're busy.
