Commusoft alternatives: 5 options compared
FieldHive plus the other apps UK trades look at, on each company’s published prices.
Joblogic
Commercial contractors who need asset registers, planned maintenance and compliance reporting for their clients. Priced per user on a long contract, so it suits a settled team rather than a sole trader.
Simpro
Larger contractors. Simpro's own site says five to 200 staff. Worth it if you need stock control, purchasing, project tendering or asset maintenance — none of which FieldHive does.
Tradify
Established small teams who want a mature, well-supported product and do not mind paying per seat. The cost climbs with every person you add.
ServiceM8
Teams where several people need their own login. ServiceM8 charges by jobs completed, so every paid plan includes unlimited staff.
