FieldproxyAI-native field service softwareFor trade businesses on ServiceM8
ServiceM8 charges you for growing.
That is the whole problem.
ServiceM8's job-quota pricing is brilliant when you are small and punishing the moment you are not. Worse, the quota is the least of it: the forms, the reporting and the workflow are all fixed. We build the system to your process and price it on people, not on how busy you were last month.

Where this comes from
ServiceM8's published job-volume tiers, verified June 5, 2026
The line item that actually bites
Past roughly 100 jobs a month the quota tiers get expensive fast, and the bill moves with your busiest season rather than your headcount. A good month costs you more.
Why teams leave
Nobody leaves ServiceM8 over the price. They leave over the three things it will not do.
01
Your best month is your biggest invoice
Quota pricing means the software costs most exactly when you are busiest. It is the only line item on your P&L that punishes a good quarter.
02
Customisation stops at the packaged form types
ServiceM8's forms are genuinely good and genuinely fixed. When a client demands a specific job sheet or a regulator demands a specific record, you are filling in a shape someone else chose.
03
Shallow reporting
Enough to see what happened. Not enough to see why margin moved, which technician is actually fastest on which job type, or what your recurring contracts are really worth.
How is Fieldproxy different
Changing your system is a conversation, not a project
Fieldproxy is an AI-native field service platform: dispatch, scheduling, mobile, quoting, billing, checklists, portals and role-based access, and none of it is a fixed template. The whole system is described rather than coded, so our AI engine can reshape it while you are still talking. Here are three things ServiceM8 customers ask us for in week one.
You say
“Show me margin by job type by month, and treat callbacks as a cost against the original job.”
What you get
A margin report with callbacks linked to their parent job and netted off, available to you and the office and nobody else.
Minutes
You say
“Our strata clients need a different job sheet with the building manager's sign-off on it.”
What you get
A separate job type with its own form, sign-off step and document output, leaving your standard jobs alone.
Minutes
You say
“We want customers to book themselves into real slots without calling us.”
What you get
A booking page that only offers slots your dispatch rules say are genuinely available, writing straight onto the board.
Days
Ask your current vendor how long any one of these would take. The answer to that question is the reason this page exists.
The AI that does the work
Then its agents help you run it
Not an assistant bolted onto a pre-AI data model. These agents read and write the same records your team does, which is only possible because the system was built around them.
Voice agent
Answers every call at the busiest time of day, books into a real slot, and never puts a customer in a queue.
How it worksDispatch agent
Reorders the day around drive time and skills when something moves, and tells you what it did.
How it worksQuoting agent
Prices a quote from the tech's photos and notes against your rates, ready to review.
More agents that run on the same system
Command Center
One bar for voice, chat, photos and PDFs that turns each into a job, a dispatch or an answer.
Text agent
Answers SMS and email, looks up the real job, and books or reschedules mid-conversation.
Vision agent
Reads serial numbers, model plates and asset details off a photo into the job.
Video agent
One narrated walkthrough video fills the whole survey or inspection form.
Voice notes agent
A technician talks; the notes land as structured job data. No typing on site.
Document agent
Reads PDFs, emails and work orders, extracts the fields and starts the workflow.
Knowledge agent
Answers from your manuals and service history, with the source cited.
Watcher agent
Watches your data and alerts you the moment a lead, invoice or tech needs attention.

We import your ServiceM8 history and keep your accounting link intact.
We build remotely on your own data first and show you the system working before anything switches over. That is the whole reason this is days rather than months: you are not sitting through a discovery workshop, you are reviewing something that already runs.

Straight answers
ServiceM8 and Fieldproxy, honestly
How much does ServiceM8 cost?
ServiceM8 prices by job volume rather than per user, from a free starter tier up to around $199/month on its larger plans, with no setup fee. Because the tier is driven by how many jobs you process, the cost tracks your busiest months rather than your team size. Verified June 5, 2026.
What is the best ServiceM8 alternative in Australia?
The usual moves are simPRO, which is more capable but needs six to twelve weeks and professional-services fees, or Tradify, which is a sideways step with the same small-business ceiling. Fieldproxy is the third option: your workflow built as the system, priced per user so a busy month does not cost extra, and live in days.
Does Fieldproxy have a mobile app that works offline?
Yes. Field work happens in basements and out of coverage, so the mobile app captures offline and syncs when the signal comes back.
Can we keep Xero?
Yes, and MYOB and QuickBooks. We connect to the accounting system you already reconcile in.
Bring us the thing ServiceM8 cannot do.
Thirty minutes. Tell us the workaround your team does every day, and we will show you the system without it. If we cannot, we will say so on the call.
