Which one is for you
Pick Service Fusion if
- Fits if you have lots of technicians and office staff and want one bill instead of per-seat pricing
- Works for HVAC and plumbing firms whose books live in QuickBooks Desktop
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're a crew of three: even one technician pays $208 a month, charged as one yearly payment
- Skip it if you want to try before you buy, as there's no free trial, only a demo
- Tight if you need job photos, job costing or inventory, which mean add-ons or Plus at $325
- Watch out: GPS fleet tracking and ServiceCall.ai are add-ons on every plan, with no price shown
- Not for you if you want e-sign, a customer portal or recurring invoicing without paying for Pro at $533 a month
Pick ServiceBridge if
- Fits if you run HVAC, plumbing or pest control trucks and want a live map in the same tool
- Works for a small crew that wants arrival texts sent to customers
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you need QuickBooks, because it only comes on Complete at $34.95 a user
- Pricey if your customers get lots of texts: SMS is a separate bundle at $15 a month per 1,000
- Skip it if you want to try before you pay, as no trial or free plan is listed
- Watch out: the page says these prices are for new customers only and doesn't say if they are monthly or yearly
How we grade them
| 1.8GPAService FusionWeak | 2.0GPAServiceBridgeFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DStarter is $208 a month billed yearly ($245 monthly) with unlimited users, so a crew of three pays $208, more than most tools here. Job photos, job costing and inventory are add-ons until Plus at $325. It does get cheaper per head as you grow. | B$24.95 a user is under the category's $35 cheaper-quarter line, so it sits in the cheap end, but the page says that is for new customers only and doesn't say if it is billed monthly or yearly. Texts cost extra on top. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no free trial, just a demo. You'd be paying from the first month. | FNo free plan and no trial on record, only a demo and a talk-to-sales route. |
| Features | CEstimates with options, scheduling and dispatch, invoicing, payments and QuickBooks sync on every plan. But on Starter, job photos, job costing, inventory, e-sign, the customer portal and recurring invoicing are all paid add-ons, which is a real gap. | CScheduling, dispatch, estimates, invoices and service agreements are covered, but QuickBooks and timesheets are Complete-only and payment by text needs Integrated Payments. |
| Ease of use | B4.6 from 1,420 App Store ratings for the technician app, which puts each day's jobs on a phone in the field. | CNo store rating on record, and a scheduler, price book and agreements to set up before it works for a crew. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Gusto, Profit Rhino, Customer Lobby, pulseM and LiveSwitch, plus an open API on Pro. No desktop app. | BWeb plus iPhone and Android apps and a live GPS map, but only one integration (QuickBooks) is listed and no desktop app. |
| Best for | bigger trade teams on one flat bill | small trades firms wanting texting and GPS together |

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.
