Field service software, compared honestly.
Six tools, each with a page covering why people leave it, when you should stay, and what the realistic alternatives cost. Every comparison table marks the rows the incumbent wins, because one that does not is a sales sheet.

Where FixyFlow fits
Every tool above runs your back office. FixyFlow runs the part your customer sees: a tracking link they open from an SMS, live status, photos as the job moves, and an automatic review ask at the end. It replaces one feature of a suite, not the suite, which is why it costs $19 a month instead of $49.
