The company serves general and specialty contractors, heavy/highway firms and project owners. Pricing is available on request.

FieldCosts is a job expense and receipt tool for field-service teams, with workflows for reimbursement approvals and estimated job margins. An expense can be tied to a job, category, and worker, then reviewed with its receipt and amount in one approval queue. On mobile, workers can access assigned jobs, directions, notes, files, progress, and receipt capture. Margin estimates use recorded revenue and approved job expenses; they may omit labor, overhead, tax, and other indirect costs. FieldCosts exports expenses as a QuickBooks-ready CSV, but direct live synchronization is not currently available. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web. The Founding Customer Plan costs $59 a month after a free 30-day live pilot, for up to 10 users. It includes current web and mobile features, guided founder onboarding, direct support, accounting workflow exports, and read-only access after cancellation. The service is intended for business, commercial, and professional use, not personal or household use.
