ServiceM8 is a solid iOS-first platform with a free tier. But its job caps mean growing businesses pay more as they scale. Solvr offers unlimited jobs, voice-to-quote, and an AI receptionist — all on one flat monthly rate.
ServiceM8 is a solid tool. But if you're quoting on-site and losing time to manual admin, Solvr is built differently.
ServiceM8's Starter plan caps you at 50 jobs/month. Growing past that means jumping to $79 or $149/month. Solvr has no job caps — ever.
ServiceM8 has an AI writing helper for emails and quotes, but you still type the job details. Solvr lets you speak the job and get a complete, itemised quote in 30 seconds.
ServiceM8 has no inbound call handling. Solvr's AI receptionist answers missed calls, qualifies leads, and books jobs automatically — 24/7.
ServiceM8 is primarily built for iPhone — the Android app has significantly fewer features. Solvr is a full progressive web app that works equally on iOS, Android, and desktop.
ServiceM8's pricing scales with job volume — the more work you win, the more you pay. Solvr's flat rate means your software costs stay predictable as your business grows.
Solvr is built specifically for Australian tradies. GST is automatic, quotes are in AUD, and the onboarding team is based in Australia.

"I was on ServiceM8 Growing at $79/month and still hitting the job cap in busy months. Solvr is cheaper and I never have to think about caps."
"ServiceM8 is great if you're on iPhone. I switched to Android and the app was basically unusable. Solvr works perfectly on my Samsung."
"The voice quoting is the thing. I'm standing in someone's kitchen, I speak the job, and the quote is in their inbox before I've walked out the door."
