Methodology

How prices are checked

• Every price comes from the vendor's own pricing page or official help docs. We record the source URL and the date we checked it.
• We re-check each tool monthly and log changes on the price changes page.
• If a vendor shows no dollar figure, the tool is marked Quote only and left out of cost estimates. We never fill gaps with third-party guesses.
• Currency is shown as published (USD unless noted; Joblogic is GBP, Fergus is NZD as listed).

Calculator assumptions

• Uses annual-billing rates where published, otherwise monthly × 12.
• Crew size = people who need a login. Tools priced per seat, per route or per job are converted with the rule shown next to each result (e.g. ServiceM8 assumes about 20 jobs per user per month).
• Card processing, SMS packs, onboarding fees and taxes are left out unless noted.
• With trade = Any, general field service tools come first and niche or regional tools are tagged.
