Proven per-seat pricing: Jobber Core $39/mo, Tradify $45/user/mo, ServiceM8 free tier up to 30 jobs/mo — solo tradies will pay $20-60/mo for ops tools, but ServiceM8's free plan and word-of-mouth alternatives set a low price ceiling for a marketing-only add-on.Best Field Service Apps for Solo Tradespeople (2026) ↗
