Hey guys, We’re building/growing a field service business and have reached the point where managing jobs, scheduling, and dispatching technicians manually (spreadsheets/group chats) is just too much. We need a way to track our team in the field and handle invoicing without it becoming a major headache. 

The catch is our budget is tight. We’re looking for software that: 

• Has a solid free tier or a pay-as-you-grow model (e.g., pay per user/technician). 
• Has predictable billing (no surprise charges or hidden fees for customer portals/SMS). 
• Is cloud-based/has a reliable mobile app for the techs.

 

I've looked at the big names like Jobber, ServiceTitan, or Housecall Pro, but they seem a bit overkill/expensive for us right now. What are you guys using that won't break the bank?
