| 2.0GPAFieldPulseFair | 2.6GPAWorkizGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo prices are published: it's priced per seat after a demo, with seats paid up front for a contract term, so there's no figure for a crew of three. No published price is a C by our rule, and the price book, phone and fleet tools are add-ons. | CStandard, Pro and Ultimate all say request pricing, so there's no figure for a crew of three. The FAQ says paying yearly saves $400 or more, but not on what. No published price is a C by our rule. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no free trial. FieldPulse offers a live demo instead. | CA 7-day trial with all features and no card needed. That's the shortest trial in this category, and there's no free plan. |

The whole job. | BScheduling and dispatch with live locations, good-better-best estimates, deposits, financing and Tap to Pay, plus a built-in phone system and AI answering that several rivals sell as add-ons.

You start with a demo and a quote, and custom workflows and add-ons mean some setting up before the crew is moving. | B4.6 from 2,191 App Store ratings. Automations are capped at 5 on Standard, so a lot of the automatic follow-ups wait for the bigger plans. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with QuickBooks Online and Desktop. A short list, and no desktop app. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, but the listing names only QuickBooks Online and Zapier, and Zapier and the open API need Ultimate.
