FieldBin vs GetTimePad

FieldBin is field management software for service companies and trades businesses, with scheduling, dispatching, customer records, invoicing, inventory and reporting. Its drag-and-drop calendar works from any device and lets users assign technicians to jobs. The CRM tracks client details, pipeline information and service or maintenance reminders. FieldBin can send invoices, accept online credit-card payments through Stripe and automatically send payment reminders. Technicians can check in and out using mobile apps, recording geo-tagged timestamps. The apps are available for iOS and Android phones and tablets, alongside web access. Other listed capabilities include estimates, route optimization, recurring services and customer follow-up; online booking is not offered. Integrations include Intuit QuickBooks and two-way SMS through a dedicated business phone number, but email and personal calendar integrations are not supported. Every plan includes unlimited live support, and personalized virtual onboarding is available. Basic costs $19 a month for one user. Sync costs $65 a month for one or five users and adds QuickBooks Sync and two-way SMS. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan.

GetTimePad brings job booking, customer confirmations, technician ETAs, payments, and review routing into one system for mobile service businesses. Its calendar has day, week, and month views, supports drag-and-drop rescheduling, and can display multiple staff. Live GPS, traffic-based ETAs, map links, and route history give customers visibility into technician journeys. The native iOS app includes Tech Mode, voice job creation, photo capture, push notifications, and biometric unlock; Android is on the roadmap, while the web app works in mobile browsers. Stripe handles booking deposits and payment links after jobs. SMS and email automations can send reminders, follow-ups, and rebooking prompts, though SMS is an add-on on Starter and Pro. Optional KeyBot AI can answer calls, quote using a business rate sheet and travel distance, take deposits, and book available appointments. Plans start at $79/mo, with a 14-day trial. The maker says location pings occur only during Tech Mode clock-in or an active En Route job, and that payment card numbers are not stored by GetTimePad.
