Best for QuickBooks users who want a CRM
Method is a CRM that syncs with QuickBooks, with leads, estimates, invoices, portals and automation, from $35 a user a month. The field service side is sold separately at $15 for technicians and $45 for dispatchers, and the pages list a mobile app but no store listing.
Who Method CRM is for
- Fits if your books are in QuickBooks and you want customers, quotes and invoices in one CRM
- Works for small teams that want to try 10 days with no card
Who Method CRM is not for
- Not for you if you want dispatch built in, as Field Services is priced separately
- Pricey if you add technicians and dispatchers on top of the per-user fee
- Watch out: the 25% discount lasts 3 months and needs 3 or more user accounts
- Watch out: annual prepay takes 10% off, but after the 30-day grace period an annual plan isn't refundable
Why Method CRM gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyCRM Quick Start is $35 a user a month, the edge of the category's cheaper quarter, but field service is priced on top at $15 a technician and $45 a dispatcher. Pro is $59 and Enterprise $97.
- CFree plan and trialA 10-day free trial needs no credit card, which is short. There is no free plan.
- CFeaturesQuickBooks sync, leads, estimates and invoices, customer portals, workflow automation and a Field Services edition. The core is a CRM, and scheduling and dispatch sit in the separately priced field edition.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. QuickBooks sync, workflows and portals need setting up before they pay off.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook and Zapier. The pages list a mobile app but no store listing.

Keep Method CRM, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Method CRM you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $420 a year.
What you could make
- Sales pipeline, quotes and estimates, invoicing and job scheduling: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
What this rests on. Method CRM’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Method CRM?
Method is a customizable CRM built around a two-way sync with QuickBooks Online and Desktop, covering leads, estimates, invoices, customer portals and workflow automation. A separate Method:Field Services edition adds scheduling, dispatching and work orders for service companies. Plans are priced per user.
Worth knowing
- Method:Field Services is priced separately: from $15 per month for field technicians and $45 per month for dispatchers.
- The 25% off is for the first 3 months and needs 3 or more user accounts.
- Annual prepay takes 10% off; after the 30-day grace period an annual plan is not refundable.
- The pages read list a mobile app but no iOS or Android store listing, so platforms show web only.
