ServiceM8 on Android, Plus 10 Alternatives Ranked for Repair Shops

1. Taskrol

Best for

Appliance and HVAC repair shops on any mix of phones, where the part decides whether the job closes today

What changes if you move here

On the three assumptions. Android: technicians get the same app on iPhone and Android, with the web app beside it for the office, which is level with ServiceM8 now that its Android app has caught up. The bill: Solo costs nothing, for one technician, with no ceiling on jobs and no card, so the 30-job wall of ServiceM8 Free is not there; Basic is one flat monthly price with one user included and unlimited subcontractors; Pro is one flat monthly price covering three users; on both, each additional user is billed monthly; Voice & SMS telephony and the automatic ETA and sales-tax rate are priced separately, and AI-drafted invoices come with Basic and Pro; the paid plans come with a seven-day full-access trial. Stock: it lives in the product. The technician points the camera at the data plate and it reads the model and serial onto the job; the parts search then runs on that model against a catalog and comes back with fitting parts only, each marked with the van cell that holds one and the warehouse count. Parts diagrams are on every plan, including the free Solo plan. Anything to buy goes on a shopping list, his own on Solo and the company's on Pro, and the job sits In Progress until the return visit, booked for the next business day. Each job keeps the machine it was for, on the customer's record beside their other jobs, so the next visit starts from the model and the address, and a warranty callback is spun off the completed job with one tap, linked to it, and kept out of the job counts. One invoice carries three signatures: authorization to diagnose, approval of the estimate, completion. The books, on Basic and Pro: the owner connects the company to its QuickBooks Online company through Intuit's sign-in, pairs Taskrol's line types with QuickBooks items once (parts, labor, the diagnostic fee, discounts, tips, card surcharges, refunds), and after that each job's customer, its invoice, the payments on it, a sales receipt for tips and card surcharges, and any refund receipt are written into QuickBooks as the job is completed, sent, or paid — one way, Taskrol to QuickBooks Online, with a sync log, a Retry button, and Send to QuickBooks on the job for a manual push. On Basic and Pro, the manual opens from the job, and the web report hands the bookkeeper a CSV with a row for each job: revenue, parts cost, margin, card net received, taxes, and tips.

What it costs

Solo $0 forever (1 technician), Basic $29/month (1 user), Pro $129/month (3 users), each extra user $29/month; 7 days of Pro for every new account, no card. Taskrol pricing →

Why first: for an appliance repair shop leaving ServiceM8, the bill and the stock flip together here. Solo is a free plan with no job cap, and Basic and Pro are flat published prices, so a busy month stays on the same plan. Stock is counted by van and warehouse inside the product, the parts search starts from the model number on the job, and van stock, warehouse stock, and parts diagrams all come with every plan, the free one included. Technicians run one app on Android and iPhone, and a new account gets seven days of Pro with no card. The invoice still reaches the accountant on its own: Taskrol writes customers, invoices, payments, tips, and refunds into QuickBooks Online, one way, on Basic and Pro. The entries that follow each carry a ServiceM8 habit forward: Housecall Pro and Jobber serve a multi-trade business and publish a QuickBooks sync, Service Fusion keeps users uncounted, and FieldPulse keeps an asset register.

2. Housecall Pro

Best for

The multi-trade crew that wants a record for the machine at each address and QuickBooks Online, on one app for both phones

What changes if you move here

One app on the App Store and Google Play, rated 4.6 on each by its own mobile page. On the first assumption, Android, it is no longer a fix, since ServiceM8's own Android app has caught up, so the case for it rests on the machine record and on keeping a QuickBooks Online sync. On the machine, Property Profiles is an app you enable under My Apps; per address it stores notes, an install date, a serial, a model, a make, a display name, and an item type, and those items appear on a job as long as the service address is the same, which is fuller than an asset type with custom fields. Today's appliance page mentions repair jobs that are one-time or recurring, checklists you build yourself, the closest technician dispatched automatically, flat-rate pricing from a price book, texts when the tech is on the way, review management, Instapay, and fourteen days free with no card. QuickBooks Online arrives with the Essentials tier.

What it costs

Basic $79 a month or $59 billed annually, 1 user; Essentials $189 a month or $149 billed annually, 5 users; Max $329 a month or $299 billed annually, 8 users; $35 a month per additional user (Housecall Pro’s pricing page, read October 15, 2026).

Watch for

The bill counts people, which is the assumption you are giving up. Basic comes with a single user, Essentials with five, Max with eight, and anyone beyond that is billed monthly. QuickBooks Online is an Essentials feature, so syncing the books, which ServiceM8 gave you on a free plan, does not survive on Basic. No Xero and no MYOB. Add-ons are numerous: Websites, Tap to Pay, dashcams, Campaigns, Voice, Accounting, Payroll, Pipeline, the Sales Proposal Tool, and CSR AI, with open API access, recurring service plans, and route optimization held on Max. Stock: none published; the parts side is the price book, and nothing in the Property Profile help article reaches a part.

3. Jobber

Best for

Shops that want a highly rated app on both phones, a customer portal, and a two-week trial

What changes if you move here

Jobber's appliance page prints both ratings, 4.8 on the App Store across 13,861 reviews and 4.5 on Google Play across 4,883, where ServiceM8's Android app shows 3.8 across 717. Client Hub is a portal open around the clock where a customer requests a repair, approves a quote, checks the details of the coming visit, and pays, which is ServiceM8's online booking with the rest of the relationship added. Optional line items on a quote let the customer pick, with the total recalculated before they approve. The page says appliance model and serial numbers are kept beside the job details and customer information, and that a note about a warranty or a replacement part can be pinned to the client or to the job. QuickBooks Online syncs from Connect, approved timesheets included. Fourteen days of Grow, no card. Web, iOS, and Android.

What it costs

One user: Core $49 a month or $29 billed annually; a team with 5 users: Connect $199 ($149), Grow $299 ($229), Plus $499 ($399) (Jobber’s pricing page, read October 15, 2026).

Watch for

Seats follow team size, not tier: one user on Core, Connect, or Grow, or five, ten, or fifteen on Connect, Grow, or Plus, with more billed monthly, so a dispatcher costs money here where it cost nothing there. No Xero, no MYOB. The model number goes into a custom field of one of five types, which can sit on a team member, an invoice, a job, a quote, a property, or a client and carry forward through the workflow; the help center calls custom fields available on select plans, and the pricing page puts them on Connect, Grow, and Plus, not on Core. No inventory, no purchase orders, and no equipment module of Jobber's own on the pages we read, with stock left to third-party apps in its App Marketplace, so the asset register you are leaving becomes a field. Marketing suite and AI receptionist are included on Plus and add-ons below it. Warranty-network dispatch is not published.

4. Workiz

Best for

Shops that grow by leads and want the phone answered inside the CRM, on both phones, with stock on the top tier

What changes if you move here

Workiz runs one app on the App Store and Google Play and answers the phone for you: one dashboard for calls, texts, and emails, a Genius AI Answering service that books emergency callers at any hour in English, Spanish, and French, and lead integrations its appliance page names for Yelp, Thumbtack, Angi Leads, and Google Local Services Ads. Where ServiceM8's booking page waits for the customer, Workiz goes and gets them. On parts, the appliance page talks about managing back orders, about a purchase order and its tracking number attached to the job, and about knowing what is in stock and what is running short; the pricing page files inventory management, purchase orders, equipment tracking, and multi-day jobs under Ultimate. QuickBooks and custom fields are on Standard. Seven-day trial, no card, and 120,000-plus pros by its own count.

What it costs

Every plan — Standard, Pro and Ultimate — says “Request pricing”; the trial is 7 days with no credit card (Workiz’s pricing page, read October 15, 2026).

Watch for

The tier does the counting here rather than the job or the seat. The part, the stock, and the equipment record are all Ultimate features, with service plans, checklists, and the open API, and the three Genius products, Phone, Answering, and Marketing, are add-ons above any tier. Make, model, and serial are absent from the appliance page, and the pricing page's "equipment tracking" is a label without a description of the record, so from a QR-labeled asset you would be moving to a line on a plan. No Xero, no MYOB. Seven days is a short trial for a shop that wants to see a return visit inside it. Warranty-network dispatch: not published.

5. Service Fusion

Best for

The shop that liked not counting users and wants to keep that on a flat bill with QuickBooks Online or Desktop

What changes if you move here

Service Fusion does not bill per person either. Starter, Plus, and Pro all come with unlimited users, and the appliance page says outright that with no per-user fees the cost holds steady as the business grows. That keeps the ServiceM8 promise while dropping the job cap, and there is a mobile app for Android and for iOS. QuickBooks is included on Starter; the appliance page calls the sync bi-directional for customers, products, and services, with deposits, invoices, and payments going across on their own, and the field service page adds that it works with Online or Desktop. Plus brings inventory management and job costing. Also on the appliance page: dispatch and scheduling, estimates, a web booking portal for customers, texts before the visit, eSign inside the estimate, GPS on the fleet, and a Stripe reader for cards in the field; onboarding and unlimited support come with every plan, and there is no contract.

What it costs

Starter $245, Plus $382 and Pro $627 a month, or $208, $325 and $533 a month billed annually; unlimited users on every plan (Service Fusion’s pricing page, read October 15, 2026).

Watch for

A flat price sized for an office is a lot of price for a sole trader stepping up, so this is the entry for a shop with a dispatcher. Make, model, serial, and parts are all absent from the appliance page, so the asset register becomes nothing described. Custom documents, eSign documents, the customer web portal, and progress billing sit on Pro or cost extra below it; GPS fleet tracking and ServiceCall.ai cost extra on every tier. No Xero, no MYOB. A demo is offered and a trial is not mentioned. Warranty-network dispatch is not published.

6. FieldPulse

Best for

Shops that chose ServiceM8 for the asset register and want the same idea on Android, with stock by truck behind it

What changes if you move here

FieldPulse is the generalist whose asset record comes closest to what you are leaving, and it runs one app on iOS and Android with a web app behind it. An asset there carries its model name, the date it was installed, its warranty information, and a life-cycle state (uninstalled, in use, or retired); it can be attached to service jobs, keeps its maintenance history, and follows the house to a new owner when it sells. Behind the asset there is stock ServiceM8 does not own: inventory by truck, warehouse, and job site, serialized units traced to the installation, alerts when stock runs low, purchase orders raised on site, barcode scanning, and usage logged with no signal and synced later. The appliance page adds a drag-and-drop calendar, views for several teams at once, live GPS, a built-in pricebook, a customer portal, a booking portal, recurring visits under maintenance agreements, and Operator AI for missed calls. QuickBooks Online syncs both ways for customers, invoices, and payments, and a help article covers QuickBooks Desktop 2024 and newer on Windows. The homepage claims 4.8 out of 5 across 2,537 reviews.

What it costs

A custom quote, seat-based with a contract term; the pricing page shows no figures (FieldPulse’s pricing page, read October 15, 2026).

Watch for

Pricing is the inverse of ServiceM8's. There are no tier names on the pricing page. It describes seat-based pricing in which a set number of seats is bought upfront for the length of the contract, at a rate that varies with what each seat can access; the way in is a demo and a custom quote, and no trial is published. Premium products sit on top: Custom Forms, Fleet Tracking, Financing, Payments, Pricebook, Chat AI, Operator AI, and Engage. Make, model, and serial are missing from the appliance page, where the machine is notes, photos, parts, and service records inside the job, and neither the asset page nor the inventory page says the model leads to the part. QuickBooks only, no Xero or MYOB. Warranty-network dispatch: not published.

FieldPulse →

7. Smart Service

Best for

Shops whose books are in QuickBooks, Desktop above all, that want a per-appliance record deeper than an asset type

What changes if you move here

Smart Service's appliance page describes the record a ServiceM8 asset is standing in for. Each appliance gets prior work orders, photos, its location in the home, a serial number, a model, and a make, plus a warranty expiration flag and callback tracking; in the field the technician records labor notes, signatures, photos, fault codes, and the serial and model numbers, and can read the machine's whole history before knocking. The page says the office and the field can see inventory availability and plan parts ahead of the appointment, the one sentence on this page that names the two-trip problem. Dispatch draws on employee skills and scheduling suggestions. The product calls itself an add-on to QuickBooks, not just an integration, syncing Desktop and Online; it comes as Smart Service Cloud with a mobile app or Smart Service Desktop with iFleet, and iFleet is on Google Play and the App Store.

What it costs

From $129.99 per user a month with a 3-user minimum; the final price is a written quote (Smart Service’s pricing page, read October 15, 2026).

Watch for

Quoted, not listed. The number depends on the edition, the size of the team, how you pay, and the work of bringing your customer and QuickBooks data over, with onboarding and data conversion folded in, and Desktop customers renew support every year. Their reasoning, that two trucks and fifty technicians should not be billed alike, is fair and cannot be checked from the site. The Desktop edition installs next to QuickBooks Desktop on a Windows machine, a long way from an iPhone-and-Mac product. How far the inventory reaches, truck by truck, is not published. QuickBooks only; no Xero, no MYOB. Warranty-network dispatch: not published.

8. ServiceTitan

Best for

The top of ServiceM8's own range, twenty staff and up, with a warehouse and someone whose job is purchasing

What changes if you move here

ServiceM8 says it is for sole traders up to 20 staff, and ServiceTitan starts where that ends. The mobile app is on Android and iOS. Its inventory page describes a single workflow for purchases, returns to vendors, transfers, and adjustments; inventory at more than one location; barcodes; replenishment that triggers on stock levels against a list you set per location; and technicians checking stock from the field to reserve or request it, which is the parts side ServiceM8 leaves to Xero, built as a system. The appliance page's headline features are Customer Experience, Job Histories, Service Agreements, Custom Forms, Dispatching, Capacity Planning, Timesheets, and Pricebook. QuickBooks Online and the Premier and Enterprise editions of Desktop. Cloud-based, with 100,000-plus trade professionals by its own count.

What it costs

Starter, Essentials and The Works each say “Request Pricing”; pricing is per technician (ServiceTitan’s pricing page, read October 15, 2026).

Watch for

Priced per technician, by quote, after a demo. The pricebook, invoicing, call booking, scheduling, and dispatching are Starter; payroll management and mobile estimates arrive with Essentials; configurable payroll, customizable memberships, commission tracking, and advanced reporting are The Works; and above the packages sit the Pro products, an AI voice agent, Contact Center Pro, Field Pro, Dispatch Pro, Scheduling Pro, Fleet Pro, Pricebook Pro, and Marketing Pro. For a shop that was on a free plan last year, this is a different universe of cost and rollout. No Xero, no MYOB. Warranty networks: not published.

ServiceTitan →

9. ApplianceOps

Best for

Appliance shops of up to five people that are Android-first, do home-warranty work, and want the app to work with no signal

What changes if you move here

ApplianceOps is ServiceM8's platform assumption turned upside down: the native app is on Google Play for Android, and an iPhone gets a progressive web app installed from the browser. The author is a technician with close to twenty years of appliance calls behind him, and the range runs from a single operator to a five-person store that also sells, delivers, and runs a parts counter. On an invoice every appliance has its own block, model and serial included, with a labor rate type and its own parts and services; per customer there is a warranty card listing machines, parts, and repairs with their expiry dates. The stock ledger only appends, tracks parts by model number with cost, markup, and level, and Parts-to-Order collects every part still to be ordered across open invoices into a single buying list. Warranty claims have their own states, draft, submitted, approved, paid, with split billing on one invoice, and a dispatch email from ServicePower, Choice, First American, or AHS can be pasted in to fill the customer, address, appliance, and claim numbers. The error-code lookup covers Maytag, KitchenAid, Bosch, Frigidaire, GE, Whirlpool, LG, and Samsung. Offline is complete: invoice, pay, and sign with zero bars. All core features on all plans, fourteen days free with no card, thirty with a referral code, and cards processed on your own Stripe account with no cut taken.

What it costs

$35 a month for the first seat and $10 for each seat up to five ($75 for five); AI Dispatch add-on $65 (1–2 techs) or $95 (3–5 techs) a month (ApplianceOps’s pricing page, read October 15, 2026).

Watch for

For an all-iPhone crew this is a wall ServiceM8 never had: no native iOS app. QuickBooks Online receives a nightly push, with a sync-now button, rather than a live sync, and there is no Xero or MYOB. The price is a base for the first seat plus a charge per additional seat, capped for a five-person shop and per seat beyond it, so it counts people, which ServiceM8 did not. The company describes its team as small, and its pages showed us no independent reviews.

10. Rossware (ServiceDesk)

Best for

Warranty-dispatched appliance shops that will put a Windows machine in the office to get parts per truck and twelve networks

What changes if you move here

The farthest from an iPhone-and-Mac product on this list, and deep on the two things ServiceM8's pages do not cover. Parts: a list of desired inventory that records, per item, the make and the kind of machine it goes into and how many to keep on each truck and in the stock room; a view of every unique item with its cost, its truck or shelf, and the time it has spent there; and special orders a technician places from the field inside the job. Warranty: the integrations page carries twelve logos, two manufacturers in Samsung and LG, four dispatch platforms in ServiceBench, ServiceLive, ServicePower, and Dispatch.me, and six warranty and retail names in Warrantech, PC Richard & Son, American Home Shield, First American Home Warranty, Fidelity National Home Warranty, and Old Republic Home Protection; an incoming dispatch becomes a job by itself and status changes go back up. Waiting for Parts is a job status by name. The technician app runs on Windows, iOS, and Android, so the Android question is answered in the field; the founder ran an appliance repair company, and the site claims 30-plus years.

What it costs

ServiceDesk core $199 a month, flat; add-ons priced separately: SD-Mobile $32 per user, SmartParts $35, DispatchLinks $29, RevenueBuilder $49 and Dealer $49 a month (Rossware’s pricing page, read October 15, 2026).

Watch for

The main application runs only on Windows, in the pricing page FAQ's words, and cloud means a Windows Server, which they can host. Coming from a product that lives on a phone, that is the whole reason it is last. QuickBooks: data exports, no direct integration, and no Xero or MYOB. Around the flat core sit add-ons with their own prices: hosting in tiers, an American Home Shield status updater, SmartParts, SD-Dealer, SD-RevenueBuilder, DispatchLinks, SD-CyberOffice billed by usage, and the SD-Mobile technician app per user, with the route optimizer charged per run. Fullsteam Software Holdings LLC is the name on the copyright line, which means the company has been acquired.
