Kickserv
Kickserv is a free-tier-friendly entry option for solo and small field service contractors, headquartered in San Francisco.
Overview
Kickserv is a long-standing entry-tier FSM platform for solo and small home-services contractors. It’s aimed squarely at the segment that wants scheduling, invoicing, and a mobile app without committing to per-user subscriptions in the Jobber or Housecall Pro range. The free tier covers core features, which makes Kickserv a frequent first stop for owner-operators evaluating their first service-business software.
Pricing
Kickserv runs a free tier plus paid plans starting around $47 per month. The free tier is real — not a trial — though limited in user seats and feature access. Paid plans add seats, advanced reporting, and integrations.
