Brivium vs WorkBee

Brivium is a CRM and business app for trade and field-service companies, combining customer records, jobs, quotes, schedules, invoices, payments, and team tasks. It is aimed at owner-operators and small crews of 1 to 20 people, including painting, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and roofing businesses. Customers can review and approve branded quotes online, with deposits collected at approval; quotes can then become invoices paid by card through Stripe. Scheduling covers worker assignments, task due dates, role-based access, and alerts for work needing attention. The mobile app works offline and syncs quotes, jobs, and invoices when it reconnects. Brivium runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Paid plans start at $19.99/user/mo billed annually, and a 14-day free trial uses the Business plan without requiring a card to start. Public links to quotes, invoices, customer portals, signed documents, and shared attachments can be opened by anyone who has the link.

WorkBee is field service software for UK trades, including window-cleaning businesses. Its rounds feature builds recurring routes, creates visits, orders stops, and supports weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly, monthly, or custom-day schedules for individual customers. Round reports show revenue per round, skipped-stop analysis, and payment success rates. A native GoCardless integration can collect Direct Debit when a stop is completed and flag failed payments. The Field app lets workers mark stops done or skipped, record a reason, and navigate to addresses by phone; it can capture jobs, photos, and signatures offline and sync when connectivity returns. Integrations listed for accounting and payments include Xero, QuickBooks, GoCardless, and Stripe. The Free plan is free, billed forever, with up to 10 jobs per month, one engineer, basic invoicing, and email support. Starter is £25 a month, Growth is £59 a month, and Pro is £119 a month. Paid plans begin with 30 days free, need no credit card, and can be cancelled anytime.
