## Reviews

### "Easy Yet Powerful Job Management Software" — 5.0/5

> **Tom** | *12 September 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is extremely easy to use by both office and field staff.&#10;It has many powerful additional features&#10;Nothing about this software is complicated and yet it is as powerful as most other programs on the market.
> 
> **Cons**: Other than a few very minor changes that is not worth listing, I honestly cant think of any cons.
> 
> After 5 years on another software program, I spent 6 months wanting to find a more advanced program that will take my business to the next level. I overlooked servicem8 at first thinking it was a bit simple, but after a terrible experience with another program, I went over to servicem8 and found all of the supposed advanced features I had been searching for where there, and what's more they were much simpler to use. &#10;If you're in a service based business, doesn't matter your field, you should check out this program.

### "Great for a start up" — 5.0/5

> **Jason** | *3 November 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great software for a startup company or even a large company. I Love the fact that when we started out we could easily afford this software and as we grew we could level up  the software and still afford it. Similar software would have broke us be for we even got started plus servicem8 is more powerful software and meets all our needs now and has options that will meet all future needs. We will use Servicem8 forever and recommend it regularly.
> 
> **Cons**: customer support is email or chat only and sometimes I need immediate help and cant get it that fast. But a small price to pay for such great and affordable software.
> 
> Great\!

> 
> **Pros**: not much the customer service is so unless

> **Cons**: use commusoft  the service m8 customer service will cost you money on your customer
> 
> not great

### "Small Service Business Gold" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *2 August 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I've tried multiple platforms for my small handyman/remodeling company. ServiceM8 is by far the best value for the money. Easy to use, Easy to setup and it integrates with QuickBooks. I use it every day and could not imagine keeping up with clients, contractors and jobs without it.
> 
> **Cons**: Only con -- it only works on Mac/IOs platforms. I completely understand why they've made this decision, but it is limiting. It's also feature-lite, if you need something beefy this may not be for you, but for a small business that only needs the basics, it's without equal.
> 
> I have ServiceM8 open right now, and do most days. This is simply the best deal for the money. Period.

### "no geniuses required" — 4.0/5

> **Ruby** | *12 December 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: it does what it is supposed to do and you don't need to be a genius to do it.
> 
> **Cons**: I am pretty happy with it, it is not full of extra features that would intimidate my not so tech savy guys
> 
> My main worry was that my service guys would have a hard time going from paper to tablets but after a small learning curve they have adapted quite nicely and love the easy of use of this software
