Read the Contractor+ review →Pricing and plans
Both charge per user, and the plan you actually need usually costs more than the headline number. Fieldwork starts at $59/mo and Contractor+ at $0 (free plan). Before you compare the two, price the tier that unlocks the features you need, at your real headcount, with payment-processing fees included. A tool that looks cheaper per seat can cost more once the card fees are in.

Fieldwork vs Contractor+ FAQ
Are these scores independent?
Yes. We tested both tools hands-on and scored them on the same rubric. No vendor can pay to move up. Some links are affiliate links, which never affect the rank or score.
Can I switch from one to the other later?
Usually yes. Most field-service tools let you export your customer list and job history, so moving is mostly an import plus a week of getting the team comfortable. Do it in your slow season.
The bottom line
Both tools clear the bar on our rubric, so the better pick is the one that fits how your shop works. Try each on a real week of jobs and let your crew decide.
