2026 Field Service Software Pricing & Transparency Study

Key findings

• 22 of 32 platforms in the study publish an entry price that a buyer can see without talking to sales.
• 10 use a quote-led pricing page where plans or capabilities may be shown but a current dollar subscription price is withheld.
• The median lowest paid public entry price in our normalized sample is $59/month. This is an entry-price benchmark, not an estimate of total cost for a typical team.
• 5 platforms explicitly publish a free plan, while 10 have a trial duration we could verify directly in the current source material.
• Billing models vary substantially: flat-rate plans, per-user pricing, per-resource pricing, usage limits and custom quotes are all common enough that headline price alone is a poor comparison metric.

Full pricing dataset

“Starting price” means the lowest current vendor-published entry price we could normalize to USD. A $0 value indicates an explicitly published free plan. “Quote” means we found an official pricing/plan page but the vendor requires sales contact for the current dollar amount.

Methodology

We built the sample around software marketed for field service, home service, trade contractors or adjacent mobile-work operations. Pricing was taken from vendor-controlled pricing, plan, product or help pages. We do not substitute third-party marketplace pricing when a vendor does not publish a current amount.

Because software pricing is not standardized, the entry-price field should not be read as “what a typical company pays.” A flat-rate plan covering several users is not economically equivalent to a per-user plan. Some platforms also require annual billing, minimum seats, implementation, add-ons or prerequisite products. Those constraints are recorded where they materially affect the entry price.

We deliberately classify products with hidden dollar pricing as quote-led instead of estimating from old reviews or community posts. This makes the transparency metric reproducible and keeps the dataset useful when vendors change packaging.
