CrewNest vs Pinstripe Fleet

CrewNest is a field service management platform for pressure washing, lawn care and snow removal businesses. It covers quoting, scheduling, invoicing and payments, with snow-specific records for event timestamps, accumulation totals and service notes. Users can attach weather data and accumulation notes to jobs, while salt and deicer calculators estimate material needs from surface area and conditions. Map-based route dispatch assigns crews to routes and zones. Snow work can be billed per push, per visit, per inch or at a seasonal flat rate; seasonal contracts support fixed monthly or per-event pricing, with invoices generated from contract terms after events. CrewNest is a Progressive Web App that works on iPhone and Android without an app-store download, and it also has web access. The Free Forever plan costs nothing and includes one user, up to three estimates and ten satellite measurements per month, and 50 SMS messages per month. The Pro Plan costs $29.99 a month and includes unlimited estimates, invoices, satellite measurements and team members. CrewNest is headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

Pinstripe Fleet organizes the work of field-service businesses, from booking jobs through invoicing and payment. Its eight modules cover customers, jobs, scheduling, invoices, time tracking, vehicles, equipment, and a customer portal. Job records can hold statuses, assignments, checklists, proof-of-work media, and an activity timeline. Scheduling offers day, week, and employee calendars, recurring appointments, travel buffers, and a dispatch board with drag-and-drop and keyboard controls. Customers can approve or decline mobile-friendly estimates, while businesses can review approval rates and median decision times. For payment, each business connects its own Stripe account; invoice payments go to its bank account. Crews use a phone browser, and clock or job-status updates can queue without service, though photos and other records need a connection. The service also has eight reporting surfaces, role-based access controls, and an audited assistant scoped to enabled modules and user roles. It runs on web and iOS, with a free plan and paid plans from $79/mo.
