Jobber alternatives: 5 options compared
FieldHive plus the other apps UK trades look at, on each company’s published prices.
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 access. ServiceM8 charges by jobs completed rather than per user, so every paid plan includes unlimited staff.
Powered Now
UK trades who want CIS paperwork and certificates handled inside the app, from a UK company with UK support. Per user, so it climbs with the team.
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.
