FieldBin vs Sesklo

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.

Sesklo connects homeowners with local service providers for quotes and gives carpet cleaners tools to manage jobs. Providers can publish per-room or per-area prices for online bookings, build quotes from reusable pricebook items and send branded PDFs. Accepted quotes can become scheduled jobs. Repeat carpet-cleaning work can be set up as an annual or semi-annual plan that books and bills itself. A dispatch calendar supports drag-and-drop scheduling, assigning technicians or crews, and ordering stops by drive time. Providers can batch jobs into route order and take card or bank payments when work is complete. Invoices support card or bank transfers, while job records bring quotes, deposits, progress payments and final invoices together. Sesklo is available on the web and in native iOS and Android apps. Basic starts at $42.49 a month, billed annually at $509.88/yr starting month 2, with the first month free. Flat-rate bookings carry a $5 customer fee; other Sesklo payments carry a $1 platform fee, plus applicable processing fees.
