Fieldproxy vs the alternatives

Looking for a ServiceTrade alternative?

ServiceTrade is built for commercial service contractors, 15-150 employees. Fieldproxy is the AI-native FSM that builds itself around your operation — describe a change in plain English and our platform implements it. Think Lovable, but for field service.

Frequently asked questions

About Fieldproxy as a ServiceTrade alternative.

Is Fieldproxy a good ServiceTrade alternative?
Yes, particularly if you need AI Command Center — voice and chat agents for service agreement renewals, ticket triage, and customer comms. Fieldproxy serves Commercial HVAC, Fire Safety, Mechanical, Multi-trade Commercial and any other service vertical with custom workflows, AI dispatching, and transparent pricing.
How does Fieldproxy pricing compare to ServiceTrade?
ServiceTrade pricing starts at $140-$260/user/month with $2,500-$10,000 in setup fees. Fieldproxy uses transparent pricing tailored to your operation with no setup fees and a faster time-to-live (4-8 weeks → 1-3 weeks with Fieldproxy).
How long does it take to switch from ServiceTrade to Fieldproxy?
Most teams switch from ServiceTrade to Fieldproxy in 2-4 weeks. 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 ServiceTrade, the platform isn't locked into one vertical — it adapts to your specific Commercial HVAC operation.
Can Fieldproxy replace ServiceTrade for AI features?
Fieldproxy is AI-native in two specific ways ServiceTrade isn't. First, the AI Command Center handles 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. ServiceTrade 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 ServiceTrade?
Most workflow changes in Fieldproxy take minutes — describe what you want in plain English and the platform builds it. ServiceTrade 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 ServiceTrade?
Fieldproxy provides hands-on customer success support during onboarding plus ongoing access to our customization team. No ticket queues, no implementation fee for changes.
