ServBuilder vs Surfacely

ServBuilder is field service management software for small and growing teams that schedule jobs, dispatch crews, prepare estimates and invoices, and collect payments. Its dispatch board displays crew availability and suggests time slots with AI. Estimates can be built from a price book and converted into invoices in one tap. Technicians use iOS and Android apps to view jobs, capture photos, collect signatures, and take payments; the apps also work offline and sync jobs, forms, photos, and notes when connectivity returns. Listed integrations include QuickBooks, Stripe, Google Calendar, Zapier, and Google Maps. Stripe handles card and wallet payments, links, partial payments, deposits, and failed-charge retries; transaction fees apply. Starter costs $79.00 per month, billed monthly, for up to 25 active jobs and five team members. Professional costs $199.00 per month, billed monthly, for unlimited jobs and up to 15 members. Enterprise is custom quote. The product lists a 14-day trial; accepted beta participants pay no subscription fees, with at least 30 days' notice before paid plans begin.

Surfacely is software for painting businesses to measure jobs, prepare quotes and proposals, invoice clients, and track job profit. Its workflow covers measuring and quoting through proposals, crew briefs, invoicing, job costing, and profit debriefs. Painters can send a homeowner a project link to provide photos, surfaces, rough measurements, and notes before a site visit. Surfacely Assist analyses site photos to flag surfaces that may have been missed and defects that may need pricing. The product says it works offline when a signal drops and syncs data across phones, tablets, and laptops. It connects to Xero and QuickBooks Online for invoice and payment syncing, with CSV export also available. Stripe Connect enables card and digital-wallet payments, with funds deposited to the business's bank account. The Free plan includes two team seats, two devices per user, and five buildings to start. Starter costs $59.00 per month and Professional costs $119.00 per month; both include unlimited buildings and projects. Surfacely lists Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows platforms.
