Bella FSM vs Sesklo

Bella FSM is cloud-based field service software for small and midsized teams, covering estimates, scheduling, dispatch, customer records, work orders, invoicing, and payments. Its scheduling tools include recurring visits, a drag-and-drop calendar, and text and email alerts. Work orders can track status, checklists, parts, preventive maintenance, and photo attachments. Native iPhone and Android apps work alongside a responsive web platform. The mobile app can show job details, update statuses, and capture photos offline, then sync after connectivity returns. Stripe card payments can be recorded from the field or office. QuickBooks Online or Desktop integration syncs invoices, payments, and customers as a $10 a month add-on. The Zapier integration can create jobs from connected apps, but offers an action rather than a trigger. The base plan costs $35 a month for one user, with no term commitment; each added user costs $10 a month. Add-ons are $10 a month each. A 14-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.

Sesklo connects homeowners with local service providers for quotes and gives carpet cleaners tools to manage jobs. Providers can publish per-room or per-area prices for online bookings, build quotes from reusable pricebook items and send branded PDFs. Accepted quotes can become scheduled jobs. Repeat carpet-cleaning work can be set up as an annual or semi-annual plan that books and bills itself. A dispatch calendar supports drag-and-drop scheduling, assigning technicians or crews, and ordering stops by drive time. Providers can batch jobs into route order and take card or bank payments when work is complete. Invoices support card or bank transfers, while job records bring quotes, deposits, progress payments and final invoices together. Sesklo is available on the web and in native iOS and Android apps. Basic starts at $42.49 a month, billed annually at $509.88/yr starting month 2, with the first month free. Flat-rate bookings carry a $5 customer fee; other Sesklo payments carry a $1 platform fee, plus applicable processing fees.
