ServiceM8 is a solid, well-known platform. But if you want AI that actually writes your quotes - from your own price list - and one flat price with nothing gated behind higher tiers, ServicePilot was built for you.
Type the job, snap a photo, or auto-forward the enquiry email - a priced, itemised draft appears in seconds. This is our core, not a bolt-on.
$39/user/month with everything included - AI quoting, SMS allowance, timesheets, profitability, deposits, auto-chasing. No tier ladder.
CSV import for clients, your trade's price list pre-loaded, and we'll help migrate your data personally during the trial.
