Every card has the same four parts: who it suits, the published price, what it does for your quotes, and one watch-out.
1
FieldHive
Suits: Sole traders and owner-run firms of up to about 3 people, where you price and send every quote.
Published price
Free plan · Business £14.99 a month or £144 a year, one price for the whole business.
- A reusable pricing catalogue with material costs, labour times, markup and selling prices. Each quote starts from your own figures.
- Fixed-price, hourly and time-and-materials quotes, with quote history and revisions.
- PDF quotes with your company logo, and a customer portal where customers view and accept them, on the free plan.
- The AI Rewrite Assistant tidies the wording of a quote. It doesn’t price the work; your catalogue does.
- Xero and QuickBooks sync with CIS, and Stripe card payments, on the free plan.
Watch-out: The free plan holds up to 5 active quotes at a time; unlimited quotes, deposit invoices, progress claims and automated quote reminders are on Business (£14.99 a month). There is one login, for the person who prices the work, so staff don’t send their own quotes. If each estimator needs an account, Tradify or ServiceM8 will suit you better.
