We Built the Resource We Wish We Had.

The Field Service Software Industry has a “Trust Problem.”

If you are a contractor, you know the drill. You need software to organize your dispatching and invoicing. You go online to search for options, and what do you find?

  1. “Top 10” Lists that are just paid advertisements in disguise.
  2. Generic Review Sites where a “5-Star Review” can be bought for a $20 gift card.
  3. The “Call for Pricing” Wall: You can’t even find out how much a tool costs without giving your phone number to a salesperson who will call you 5 times a day.

We were tired of the guessing game.

We built FieldServiceTools.com with a single mission: To crack open the “Black Box” of enterprise software and give trade business owners the honest, transparent data they need to make a decision before they talk to a sales rep.

Who We Are

We are a team of researchers, software analysts, and trade industry observers. We understand that running a plumbing business is fundamentally different from running a digital marketing agency.

We know that Offline Mode isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s a necessity when you are in a basement with no signal. We know that a Flat Rate Pricebook is the difference between profit and loss.

We don’t look at software features in a vacuum. We look at them through the lens of The Technician, The Dispatcher, and The Owner.

We operate as an independent research lab. Meet the Editorial Team behind the data.

Our Methodology: How We Review

Unlike other sites that scrape data from the internet, we go deep. Our “Stress Test” methodology includes:

1. The “Secret Shopper” Test

We sign up for trials using pseudonyms. We click the buttons. We go through the onboarding flows. We verify if a “Free Trial” is actually free, or if it’s a trap to get your credit card.

2. The Workflow Simulation

We don’t just look at the dashboard. We run a simulated job:

  • Can we dispatch a call?
  • Can the tech add a photo on the mobile app?
  • Does the pricebook update automatically?
  • Does it actually sync with QuickBooks, or does it just say it does?

3. Contextual Ranking

We believe there is no “Best Software.” There is only the best software for you.

  • We will never recommend ServiceTitan to a solo operator (It’s too expensive).
  • We will never recommend Jobber to a commercial construction firm (It lacks progress billing).
  • We match the tool to the business model.

Editorial Independence & Transparency

How We Make Money

FieldServiceTools.com is a reader-supported publication. This means that if you click on a link to a software tool on our site (like Jobber or Housecall Pro) and sign up, we may earn a referral commission.

Our Promise to You

  • Pay-to-Play is Banned: No software company can pay us to change a review score.
  • No Hidden Sponsorships: If a post is sponsored, it will be clearly marked.
  • Brutal Honesty: If a software has a terrible mobile app, we will say it. If their support wait times are long, we will warn you. Our loyalty is to the contractor, not the software vendor.

Why “Field Service Tools”?

Because the right tool makes you money, but the wrong tool costs you time.

In 2026, software is just as important as your manifold gauges or your impact driver. You wouldn’t buy a cheap drill that smokes on the first job. Don’t buy cheap software that crashes during your busy season.

We are here to help you buy the right tool, the first time.
