What the prices do not tell you

ServiceM8
The only one here that does not charge per seat, which is why a big crew doing few jobs lands cheap and a small crew doing many jobs does not. iPhone and iPad only in the field. Plan prices, job allowances and Premium Plus's 20c a job overage re-read in Chrome on 2026-09-29 and unchanged. Setup and training is sold by independent ServiceM8 Partners rather than priced by ServiceM8, and no card rate is published on the US pricing page.
Markate
The base plan is deliberately thin. Online booking, the customer portal, proposals, Zapier and a texting number are $10 a month each, so price the add-ons you actually need before comparing. Every employee past the owner is $5 a month on top. Plan prices re-read in Chrome on 2026-09-29 on both toggles and unchanged. The page's HTML also carries a feature list with the $10 add-ons and per use marketing charges (an SMS blast at a $10 setup fee plus 5 cents a segment, ringless voicemail at $10 plus 20 cents each, drip texts at 10 cents), but that section did not render in Chrome that day, so those charges are not recorded as fees. No card rate is published: payments run through Square.
