FSM Software FAQs
What is FSM software?
Field service management (FSM) software helps trades contractors — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and more — schedule jobs, dispatch technicians, send invoices, take payments, and manage customers from one place. The best platform for your trade business depends on your trade and how many technicians you run.
How much does FSM software cost?
Most field service platforms charge a monthly subscription that scales with your team — roughly $39 to $200 per month for small trade businesses — plus card-processing fees of about 2.6% to 2.99% per transaction. Enterprise tools like ServiceTitan use per-technician pricing. Our interactive TCO calculator shows your true cost over one and three years.
Which FSM software is best for my trade?
There is no single winner. A platform that is great for HVAC may be wrong for landscaping, and a tool that fits a solo operator can be overkill for a growing crew. We score every comparison for a specific trade and team size, so a solo plumber and a growing electrical contractor get different recommendations.
How does FSM Advisor verify its pricing data?
Pricing comes from vendors' public pricing pages and verified user reports, each tagged with a confidence level and a last-verified date, and re-checked weekly. See our methodology for the full process.
