Fieldproxy vs the alternatives

Looking for a simPRO alternative?

simPRO is built for mid-market trade and service businesses, 20-200 employees, au/uk/us. 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.

When to choose which

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

When simPRO is the right choice

  • Strong quote-to-cash workflows
  • Project + service work in one platform
  • Multi-country support

When Fieldproxy is the right choice

  • AI Command Center — voice and chat agents for dispatch, quoting, and customer comms automation
  • AI-driven customization — describe a workflow change in plain English and the platform builds it (Lovable for FSM)
  • Customize workflows yourself without simPRO PS hours, and live in 1-3 weeks instead of 6-12
  • You need to scale beyond HVAC / Plumbing into adjacent verticals without re-platforming
  • You want transparent pricing without surprise implementation or customization fees

Frequently asked questions

About Fieldproxy as a simPRO alternative.

Is Fieldproxy a good simPRO alternative?
Yes, particularly if you need AI Command Center — voice and chat agents for dispatch, quoting, and customer comms automation. Fieldproxy serves HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Fire Safety, Mechanical and any other service vertical with custom workflows, AI dispatching, and transparent pricing.
How does Fieldproxy pricing compare to simPRO?
simPRO pricing starts at $80-$300/user/month with $2,500-$15,000 in setup fees. Fieldproxy uses transparent pricing tailored to your operation with no setup fees and a faster time-to-live (6-12 weeks → 1-3 weeks with Fieldproxy).
How long does it take to switch from simPRO to Fieldproxy?
Most teams switch from simPRO 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 HVAC?
Yes. Fieldproxy is used by HVAC businesses ranging from 5 to 500+ technicians. Unlike simPRO, the platform isn't locked into one vertical — it adapts to your specific HVAC operation.
Can Fieldproxy replace simPRO for AI features?
Fieldproxy is AI-native in two specific ways simPRO 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. simPRO 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 simPRO?
Most workflow changes in Fieldproxy take minutes — describe what you want in plain English and the platform builds it. simPRO 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 simPRO?
Fieldproxy provides hands-on customer success support during onboarding plus ongoing access to our customization team. No ticket queues, no implementation fee for changes.
