iPhone-first job management app for small service businesses, priced in sterling by jobs per month, with a free plan

ServiceM8 is job management software from ServiceM8 Pty Ltd, an Australian company, covering scheduling, quotes, invoices, job photos and forms, and card payments. Its UK site prices plans in sterling per business by jobs per month, with unlimited users on paid plans and a free plan for one user. ServiceM8 recommends iPhones or iPads; Android users get ServiceM8 Lite, which covers the basics.

United Kingdom note

UK prices are in GBP and exclude VAT; ServiceM8 issues reverse charge invoices, so VAT-registered businesses account for the VAT to HMRC themselves. It connects to Xero and QuickBooks Online (no Sage or FreeAgent listed). Its UK pages list no CIS, gas safety certificate or payroll features, so those need separate tools.

Typical United Kingdom pricing: Per business per month in GBP, excl. VAT (reverse charge): Free £0 (1 user, 30 jobs), Starter £25 (50 jobs), Growing £59 (150), Premium £119 (500), Premium Plus £269 (1,500 jobs, then 15p per extra job); unlimited users on paid plans; 14-day free trial
