What ServiceM8 and its alternatives cost for your crew

Estimated monthly cost from each vendor's published pricing, before taxes, payment processing, and promotions.

Estimated monthly cost by crew size
Crew sizeRevcore ProServiceM8JobberHousecall Pro
3-person crew$249/moStarter plan$79/mo$299/mo ($229/mo billed annually)$189/mo ($149/mo billed annually)
7-person crew$499/moPro plan$149/mo$399/mo ($299/mo billed annually)$329/mo ($299/mo billed annually)
15-person crew$899/moScale plan$349/mo$499/mo ($399/mo billed annually)$574/mo ($544/mo billed annually)

Revcore Pro: smallest plan whose included seats cover the crew, billed monthly. Annual billing is lower.

ServiceM8: ServiceM8 charges by new jobs per month, not by crew size, and paid plans include unlimited users. These figures assume job volume grows with the crew: a 3-person crew on Growing (up to 150 jobs a month, the first plan with proposals), 7 on Premium (up to 500 jobs), and 15 on Premium Plus (1,500+ jobs, then 20¢ per extra job). A lower-volume crew could pay less. Excludes ServiceM8 Phone and card processing.

Jobber: Grow plan, the lowest Jobber tier with two-way texting, at list price without the time-limited promotion. Jobber prices by team size band: a 3-person crew uses the 5-user band, 7 uses the 10-user band, and 15 uses the 15-user band, so no extra $29 user fees apply. Month-to-month price shown first, annual prepaid in brackets. Excludes add-ons and card processing.

Housecall Pro: Monthly billing shown first, annual in brackets, at list price without introductory offers. 3 people fit Essentials (5 users included). 7 people use MAX (8 users included) because Essentials extra-user pricing is not published. 15 people use MAX plus 7 extra users at $35/mo each. Excludes add-ons and card processing.
