ServiceM8 vs PlutoPrice

Questions before you switch.

How is PlutoPrice different from ServiceM8?+
ServiceM8 manages the whole job — scheduling, quoting and invoicing. PlutoPrice does one part brilliantly: turning a plain-English description into a professional, itemised quote in seconds. If quoting is the painful bit, it's the leaner tool.
Can I try PlutoPrice without committing?+
Yes — 14 days free, no card required, cancel anytime. Import your prices, send a few quotes, and see if it fits before you decide.
What does ServiceM8 do that PlutoPrice doesn't?+
Scheduling, dispatch and invoicing, among others — on purpose. PlutoPrice is a quoting specialist. If you need end-to-end job management, ServiceM8 is a better fit; many trades use a focused quoting tool alongside one anyway.
