Service Fusion

Flat-rate pricing with unlimited users — best value at scale

79/100 overall

Wins 1 of 2 matchups

Exceptional value at scale thanks to unlimited-user flat pricing, with the commercial, inventory, and flat-rate tooling growing trades need — held back by a dated interface and a support record that draws consistent complaints (Trustpilot ~2.6, slow ticket responses).
