How much does field-service software really cost?

Beyond the advertised per-seat price, real cost includes base platform fees, per-technician charges, plan tiers, and — where the vendor publishes card rates — payment-processing cuts on your card volume. For an 8-technician shop, comparable all-in cost among platforms that publish both software and card rates typically ranges from roughly $1,443 to $1,534/month depending on platform and tier. Vendors that do not publish card rates are labeled software-only and are not included in that range.

Does the calculator include payment processing fees?

When a platform publishes card rates, enter your monthly card volume and the calculator adds that processing cut to the software cost for a true all-in monthly, annual, and 3-year total. Platforms that do not publish card rates are labeled software-only; we do not invent a processing fee for them.

Are these prices official quotes?

No — they are indicative figures modeled on publicly listed plans, meant as a transparent starting point rather than a binding quote.

Quote-only platforms do not publish list prices. We do not invent a software figure for them.

Payments assumption: card fees use a documented mix — 55% in-person, 30% online invoice, 15% Amex/commercial/keyed — on $42k/mo volume, at each vendor's published channel rates (never the best in-person rate for all volume). Bring your own processor and that column drops. This tool ranks on lowest comparable all-in cost (software plus published card fees). Vendors that do not publish card rates are labeled software-only and never win LOWEST — for the best-fit pick, run the matcher.
