Which one is for you
Pick FieldAware if
- Fits if your company already runs on NetSuite and wants field work tied to it
- Works for businesses across several trades that don't want a single-trade tool
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to see a price, because the site asks for a demo
- Not for you if you want a trial, since none is on record
- Watch out: the site markets to many industries rather than one trade, so there are no trade-specific tools to lean on
- Watch out: offline use and the API appear in the navigation, but we could not read what plans include them
Pick FieldEdge if
- Fits if you run a home service company on QuickBooks and sell service agreements
- Works for shops that want pricebook-based quotes sent from the field
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price listed, since every plan says Request Pricing
- Tight if you have a bigger crew, as mobile licences stop at 2 on Select, 4 on Premier and 6 on Elite
- Pricey if you want the proposal tool, marketing or customer portal, which cost extra on Select and Premier
- Watch out: warehouse inventory on Elite needs QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise with Advanced Inventory
- Not for you if you want a free trial, as none is on record

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
