ServiceM8
iOS-first job-management app for small trades — low-cost entry and a strong mobile workflow
Market position
ServiceM8 is an iOS-first (Apple-only) job-management app for small trades — scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and job cards — with a low-cost entry point and unlimited users on paid plans. It is popular with small electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and handyman operators who run a mobile-first workflow, and integrates with Xero and QuickBooks.
Ireland-specific note
ServiceM8 is Apple-only (no Android), so confirm your crew uses iPhones/iPads before committing. It connects to Xero and QuickBooks for Irish VAT and accounting, but it is not Irish-compliance-specific — pair it with an Irish payroll tool for ROS/PAYE.
Pros
- + Low-cost entry with unlimited users on paid plans
- + Strong mobile-first workflow for small trades
- + Integrates with Xero and QuickBooks
- + Quick to set up for sole traders and small teams
Cons
- − iOS/Apple-only — no Android (a hard limit for some crews)
- − Not Irish-compliance-specific (no native ROS/PAYE)
- − Aimed at small operations, not larger or complex firms
Typical Ireland pricing
Low-cost tiers; unlimited users on paid plans; iOS-only
Why this matters for Ireland trades
Gas work requires Registered Gas Installer (RGI) status and electrical work requires Safe Electric registration, while payroll/accounting must handle Revenue PAYE Modernisation (real-time reporting), RCT, and VAT.
Irish trades vendor selection is shaped by statutory registration (RGI for gas, Safe Electric for electrical), Revenue PAYE Modernisation real-time reporting, RCT for construction subcontractors, and VAT.
