Simpro alternative
Simpro is a capable platform for electrical, mechanical, and plumbing contractors — but it's a heavy rollout. Field PM delivers the project-management and field side those trades need — daily reports, cost-code productivity, RFIs, change orders, QAQC, safety, and weld mapping — with published pricing and a same-day start.
Simpro — All-in-one job management for MEP trades — quoting, scheduling, service, and projects. Powerful, but complex to implement and quote-based.

Yes — especially if you want the project-management and field side without Simpro's implementation overhead. Field PM covers daily reporting, cost-code productivity, RFIs, change orders, QAQC, safety, and weld mapping, and adds a service-dispatch module for the service side. Simpro may still fit better if deep inventory and complex recurring-service billing are central to your business.
Simpro is quote-based and typically includes an implementation/onboarding fee. Field PM lists pricing publicly from $99/mo with unlimited free field seats and no required implementation. Confirm current Simpro pricing with their sales team.
Yes. Project management is core, and the optional Service Dispatch add-on covers service calls, dispatch boards, and on-site tickets — so install-and-service contractors can run both in one platform.
Most teams are running the same day. You can import projects, employees, and cost codes via CSV and have foremen submitting daily reports within the trial.
