Field service software pricing compared: 9 tools, real prices
Field service software runs the office side of a trades business: scheduling, dispatch, quotes, invoices, and payments. Prices range from free to several hundred dollars a month, and each vendor counts in its own way. Some charge by user, some by job, some by route, and some will not show a price until you book a demo.
This guide puts nine tools on one page with prices quoted from each pricing page on October 17, 2026. The live list, re-checked each week, sits in our field service category.
How field service software is priced
- By plan with users included. Jobber, Housecall Pro, and Kickserv sell plans that include a set number of users, with a fee for each added user.
- By user. Tradify and JobTread charge for each office or field user.
- By job volume. ServiceM8 gives unlimited users and caps the number of jobs a month.
- By route. GorillaDesk adds a fee for each extra technician route.
- Quote on request. ServiceTitan and Workiz show plans but ask you to request pricing.

What a 3-person and a 10-person crew would pay
These totals use list prices from October 17, 2026, annual billing where offered. They assume every person needs a login.
| Tool | 3 users | 10 users |
|---|---|---|
| ServiceM8 Starter (up to 50 jobs) | $29 | $29 |
| ServiceM8 Growing (up to 150 jobs) | $79 | $79 |
| Kickserv | $60 (Start, 5 users) | $119 (Run, 10 users) |
| Jobber Connect | $149 (5-user tier) | $229 (10-user tier) |
| Housecall Pro | $149 (Essentials, 5 users) | $369 (MAX, 8 users + 2 at $35) |
| Tradify Pro | $153 (3 × $51) | $510 (10 × $51) |
| JobTread | $259 ($199 + 3 × $20) | $399 ($199 + 10 × $20) |
Two caveats. ServiceM8's cost depends on job count, not people, so a busy 3-person crew can outgrow Starter. The JobTread totals read the page as $199 plus $20 for each internal user; confirm whether the base includes any users.
How to compare beyond the sticker price
- Count what the vendor counts. Users, jobs, or routes. Pull last month's numbers before you compare.
- Check payment fees. Jobber lists 2.9% plus 30¢ for online card payments. Housecall Pro lists card rates "as low as 2.59%" and 1% on bank payments. On $40,000 a month in card payments, a 0.3 point gap is $120 a month.
- Price the add-ons you need. AI receptionists, marketing tools, and payroll can cost extra. Jobber lists its Receptionist add-on at $29 a month.
- Read the commitment. Jobber's lower prices need annual billing or a one-year term. Housecall Pro's FAQ says no long-term contract.
