Powered Now 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 their own login. ServiceM8 charges by jobs completed, so every paid plan includes unlimited staff.
Fergus
Small teams who want job costing and profit-per-job reporting from day one, priced per plan rather than per user. Timesheet users add £12 a month each.
Jobber
Teams who want a polished customer-facing experience. Bills in US dollars and each plan caps how many users you get, which is worth checking before you commit as a UK business.
