Honest take

When to choose which

Fieldproxy isn't the right fit for everyone. Here's the honest take.

When BuildOps is the right choice

  • Strong commercial focus
  • Service-agreement management
  • Construction-aware features

When Fieldproxy is the right choice

  • AI Agents, voice and chat agents for service-agreement renewals, dispatch, and customer comms
  • AI-driven customization, describe a workflow change in plain English and the platform builds it (Lovable for FSM)
  • Live in days instead of 3-6 months, with no PS engagement required
  • You need to scale beyond Commercial HVAC / Commercial Electrical into adjacent verticals without re-platforming
  • You want transparent, lower per-user pricing, and changes that are included, not billed as professional-services projects

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

About Fieldproxy as a BuildOps alternative.

Is Fieldproxy a good BuildOps alternative?
Yes, particularly if you need AI Agents, voice and chat agents for service-agreement renewals, dispatch, and customer comms. Fieldproxy serves Commercial HVAC, Commercial Electrical, Commercial Plumbing, Multi-trade and any other service vertical with custom workflows, AI dispatching, and transparent pricing.
How does Fieldproxy pricing compare to BuildOps?
BuildOps pricing starts at $300+/user/month (not publicly listed) with $10,000-$50,000+ in setup fees. Fieldproxy uses transparent per-user pricing tailored to your operation, a scoped one-time implementation, and a faster time-to-live (3-6 months → days with Fieldproxy).
How long does it take to switch from BuildOps to Fieldproxy?
Most teams switch from BuildOps to Fieldproxy in days. We provide free migration consultation, data export assistance, and a parallel-run period to minimise disruption.
Does Fieldproxy work for Commercial HVAC?
Yes. Fieldproxy is used by Commercial HVAC businesses ranging from 5 to 500+ technicians. Unlike BuildOps, the platform isn't locked into one vertical, it adapts to your specific Commercial HVAC operation.
Can Fieldproxy replace BuildOps for AI features?
Fieldproxy is AI-native in two specific ways BuildOps isn't. First, AI Agents handle dispatching, quote follow-up, customer comms, and route optimisation through voice or chat. Second, Fieldproxy uses AI-driven customization, operators describe a workflow change in plain English and the platform builds it live. It's the closest thing to Lovable, for FSM. BuildOps typically requires third-party AI add-ons for the first capability and has no equivalent of the second.
How quickly can I customize Fieldproxy compared to BuildOps?
Most workflow changes in Fieldproxy take minutes, describe what you want in plain English and the platform builds it. BuildOps typically requires either an admin's clicks across multiple config screens, or a paid professional-services engagement for anything non-trivial.
What customer support does Fieldproxy offer compared to BuildOps?
Fieldproxy provides hands-on customer success support during onboarding plus ongoing access to our customization team. No ticket queues, changes are a conversation, not a billable change-order.
