FieldPulse is a fuller field-service platform — scheduling, dispatch, inventory, team management — priced per user for small teams. It's good software, and it's overkill if it's just you. SideWRK does the part a solo actually needs every day — estimate, approve, invoice, get paid, see your real profit — from your phone, $24/mo, with no per-seat fees.

FieldPulse pricing and features per its public site (2026); it uses per-user pricing. Comparison reflects typical solo use; your needs may differ. FieldPulse is a trademark of its owner; SideWRK is not affiliated with or endorsed by FieldPulse.
FieldPulse earns its price coordinating multiple people — scheduling, dispatch, inventory across a crew. Solo, you're paying for seats and modules you'll never fill.
SideWRK is one flat price, not a per-user meter. Your bill doesn't grow because a platform assumes you'll add staff you don't have.
Get paid fee-free to Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or Apple Pay — no merchant account, no skim on every job. Card's there if a customer prefers it.
If you have techs to schedule and dispatch, inventory to track, and a shared calendar to manage, FieldPulse is built for that and consolidates a real operation into one platform.
FieldPulse offers inventory, purchase orders, and team management that a scaling business relies on. SideWRK stays focused on the solo core rather than matching a full platform.
Your customers come with you. Export your client list from FieldPulse (any CSV or spreadsheet works — even a screenshot or a photo of a handwritten list), then in SideWRK open Customers → Import and drop it in. Names, phones, emails, addresses, and notes land clean, with a preview and dedupe before anything saves. Your history stays yours: SideWRK exports everything back out in a click, so there's no lock-in on this side either.
Your money is never held. Payments go straight to you — Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App directly, or cards on your own Stripe account where you're the merchant of record. How that works →
No caps, no per-user fees. Unlimited jobs and invoices on every plan, and the working automation — deposits on approval, e-signatures, customer-choice add-ons, automatic payment reminders, receipt scanning, review follow-ups — is included, not held two tiers up.
The price you join at is the price you keep. Features you already have never move behind a new paywall.
For one person, yes. FieldPulse is a fuller field-service platform priced per user, so costs grow with seats and the plan you need. SideWRK is a flat $24 to $89/month with no per-seat fees. Solo, you're not paying for a team platform you won't fully use.
SideWRK. FieldPulse is a strong platform aimed at small teams, with scheduling, dispatch, inventory, and team management. Solo, that's a lot of surface area. SideWRK is the one-person tool — estimate, approve, invoice, get paid, track profit from your phone — without team features you don't need.
No. SideWRK is one flat price with no per-user charges. FieldPulse, like most team platforms, prices per user, so the more seats you add the more you pay. For a solo operator, SideWRK's flat pricing is simpler and cheaper.
