Switching from ServiceM8
Looking for a ServiceM8 alternative?
ServiceM8 prices by the number of jobs each month, with unlimited users. Crewzy prices by plan for the business, with up to 20 active crew a month included and a monthly charge for each one above that. Both work offline. Here is how they compare, and how to move.
Who ServiceM8 suits
- ServiceM8 prices its plans by job credits each month rather than by user, and every paid plan includes unlimited users. Its prices are listed in Australian dollars, GST included.
- It has a free plan for a solo operator with a small number of jobs a month, a 14-day free trial, and AI helpers listed on all plans.
- Its app runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, and its features page says it works offline apart from producing templates and sending emails and texts.
- It suits a business whose job count is steady and predictable, and a solo operator starting out on the free plan.
Where Crewzy is different
- Connected and Unlimited have no monthly job limit, so a busy month costs the same.
- Projects with stages, variations, progress claims that print your state's security of payment statement, payment schedules, RCTIs and a retention ledger, from $99 a month on Connected.
- Bring your ServiceM8 clients, materials and jobs across in one go.
