Calday vs Field Promax

Calday provides service businesses with booking pages, scheduling, payment collection, reminders, and client records. Clients can book at any time through a shareable page without downloading an app or creating an account. Calday syncs bookings and availability in both directions with Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud, and can create Zoom or Google Meet links for virtual appointments. Stripe handles deposits and full payments, including Apple Pay and Google Pay; Calday says it adds no transaction fee. Email reminders are described for 24 hours and one hour before appointments. Client profiles can store contact details, notes, and booking history, while scheduling controls cover buffer time, booking lead time, advance notice, and cancellation or rescheduling limits. A mobile app supports managing bookings, clients, and payments. Calday says it is built for solo operators and small service businesses offering appointments, visits, classes, consultations, or rentals. The free plan allows one service, up to 100 clients, and one integration; payment collection is a Pro feature. Pro costs $12 a month, and a 7-day trial is listed.

Field Promax combines estimating, scheduling, work orders, and invoicing for field service businesses, with support for recurring jobs. Its drag-and-drop calendar and GPS tracking are intended to help prevent double-booking. Teams can prepare quotes on site and turn them into invoices, while customers can approve jobs, pay, and see updates through the Customer Hub. The mobile app supports image and editable PDF uploads, timecards, estimates, work orders, and on-site payments. Technicians can download jobs, make changes without a connection, and sync queued updates once service returns. Payments can be collected in the app by credit card, cash, or check. Listed integrations include QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, Stripe, Google Calendar, and Mail Parser. Field Promax runs on the web, Android, and iOS, and lists HVAC, plumbing, electrical, construction, and cleaning among its target industries. There is no free plan; a 14-day trial is available without a credit card. Plans cost $99 a month for Light, $239 a month for Standard, and $319 a month for Premium.
