Field Promax vs HiveSuite

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.
