Earn Unlimited Bonus Jobs

Need more than 30 jobs per month? On the Free plan, every time you take a card payment via ServiceM8 & Stripe (in the app, or online), you earn a Bonus Job credit!

For example, if you accept card payment for 15 invoices, you’ll get 15 extra Bonus Jobs on top of the 30 job credits already included in the Free plan i.e. 45 jobs that month’s billing cycle, instead of 30.  There is no limit to how many bonus jobs you can earn each month.

Pricing & Plans

What happens if we go over the number of jobs included in our plan?

It's OK! You’ll still be able to create new jobs and work as normal for another 7 days. If your monthly plan resets in that time, your job credits will reset, otherwise you’ll be prompted to upgrade your plan.

Which features come with each plan?

Every ServiceM8 plan includes all the essentials, including job cards, scheduling, quotes, invoices, email & SMS, mobile payments, and accounting integrations. However, there are some really powerful features which are only available on certain plans, such as electronic Forms. Check out the plan comparison table. We’ve built and priced our plans to be incredible value for the benefits ServiceM8 brings. If there’s an add-on in a higher plan that you’d like (but you don't need more job credits), upgrading to benefit from that feature alone will still deliver great value for money for your business.

Can I really use ServiceM8 for free?

Yes! The Free Plan is completely free for solo operators. This plan provides the necessary tools to efficiently manage up to 30 jobs a month. You can create jobs, send quotes and invoices, as well as manage your clients and schedule with ease. Additionally, you can earn unlimited bonus jobs by simply accepting card payments. Learn more about the ServiceM8 Free plan.

What access do I get in trial mode?

You’ll get full access to all features during your free trial, so you can properly try ServiceM8 in your business to learn if we’re the right fit.

If we go ahead, are we locked into a plan?

There are no lock-ins with ServiceM8’s pricing. You can upgrade and downgrade between plans at any time. Any credit from your previous plan will be put toward your new plan on a pro-rata basis.

Is ServiceM8’s price per user?

No — we don't charge per user! The only plan which limits the number of users you can have is the Free plan, to help sole traders get started. Once you have a team and upgrade to a paid plan, you can set up as many user logins as required.

Why does each plan include SMS messages?

You can SMS (text) clients straight from their job card in ServiceM8, in the app & online. This makes it easy for everyone in your team to provide great customer service, while storing all communication with the client with the rest of their job history, in one place.

Each plan includes a number of 'jobs'. What does this mean?

These are “job credits” — every time you create a new job card, it uses a job credit. For example, with the Growing plan, you can create 150 new jobs each month. Jobs can start out as a Quote, or a Work Order. If a Quote is accepted and you change its status to a Work Order, it won't consume another job credit.

Do I need to enter credit card details to trial?

No. You can create an account and trial ServiceM8 for 14 days, free. You only need to provide payment details if you want to go ahead and subscribe to a plan.

What happens if we go over the SMS’s included in our plan?

There is a standard SMS 'overage' fee per SMS sent over your plan's monthly SMS cap. View the Plan Comparison table for more info.

Which plan should I choose if I want to fill reports & certificates on site e.g. JSA, SWMS & certificates of compliance?

To fill in electronic forms, reports & certificates on site with the ServiceM8 app, you’ll want the Growing plan (or higher), which comes with the Forms Add-on. ‍Forms are very customisable to your requirements. You can engage a ServiceM8 Partner to build forms to suit your business/industry, or buy them ready-to-use from the Form Store.

Getting Started

Some/all of our team have Android devices, can we use ServiceM8?

Yes, you can! Download ServiceM8 Lite for Android on Google Play.

While our full-featured app is optimised for iOS devices like iPhones and iPads, we've launched ServiceM8 Lite for Android.

Your field staff can view their schedules, job details, complete checklists, and more with their Android devices.

To get the most out of ServiceM8’s advanced features and management capabilities, we still recommend using iPhones for your main field technicians.
