ServiceM8 pricing: what you pay at 40, 120 and 400 jobs a month
Quick Answer
ServiceM8 costs $0 to $349 a month, and the plan is set by how many jobs you book, not how many people you have [1]. A solo tech booking about 40 jobs a month fits Starter at $29; a 10 person crew at 400 jobs fits Premium at $149, with every user included [1].
Key Takeaways
- Five plans: Free $0 (30 jobs), Starter $29 (50), Growing $79 (150), Premium $149 (500), Premium Plus $349 (1,500+) per month [1].
- Paid plans include unlimited users, so adding an office manager or apprentice costs nothing extra [1].
- Only Premium Plus has a published overage: 20c per extra job [1]. On other plans you can keep working 7 days past the limit, then you're asked to upgrade [1].
- Texting is free on paid plans; the Free plan pays 10c per SMS [1].
- 14-day free trial [1]. I found no annual price on the page.

What will ServiceM8 cost my crew?
These examples use only the published plan prices. Pick the row closest to your own job count, because jobs, not people, move you up a plan.
| Crew | Jobs a month | Plan that fits | Monthly cost | Cost per job at that volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tech, no office | 40 | Starter | $29 | about 73c |
| 4 people (3 techs, 1 office) | 120 | Growing | $79 | about 66c |
| 10 people (8 techs, 2 office) | 400 | Premium | $149 | about 37c |
Prices as of the date shown; confirm on the provider's site. A blank cell means I couldn't confirm it on the vendor's page. Cost per job is my arithmetic: plan price divided by jobs.
The same 4 person crew pays $79 whether it has 4 users or 14 [1]. That is the main difference from per-user tools such as Tradify or Synchroteam, where every added seat raises the bill.
What happens if I go over my job limit?
On Free, Starter, Growing and Premium, ServiceM8 lets you keep working for 7 days after you pass the monthly job count, then prompts you to upgrade; the page states no per-job fee for those plans [1]. Premium Plus is the only plan with a published overage, 20c per additional job [1]. A busy season that pushes a Growing account from 150 to 180 jobs therefore means a move to Premium ($149), not a small overage charge.
What does ServiceM8 not publish?
The FAQ mentions a standard SMS overage fee when you pass a plan's monthly text cap, but it gives neither the cap nor the fee [1]. I also found no annual price and no card processing rate. Ask ServiceM8 for those three numbers in writing before you sign up, since they are the only costs here that can grow without a plan change.
Who is ServiceM8 a good fit for?
It suits small general trades businesses whose headcount grows faster than their job count: a plumber who adds an apprentice and an office helper, for example. It fits less well for high volume, low ticket work such as short service calls, where 500 jobs can arrive fast and push you to Premium Plus.
