The free FieldEdge alternative built for Colorado Springs contractors.
Colorado Springs sits at 6,000 feet with five military installations including Fort Carson and the Air Force Academy driving a constant churn of PCS moves and rental turnover. The housing market has grown fast with new builds spreading toward Monument, Falcon, and Fountain, and altitude combined with dry air and intense UV ages roofs and exterior finishes faster than most markets. Frequent hailstorms off the Front Range make roofing one of the biggest residential verticals in the metro. FieldEdge charges $100 - $300+/month per user for the privilege of running your business. Clockwork costs $0/month — pay only when you collect a payment.
The real cost of FieldEdge in Colorado Springs.
FieldEdge refuses to post pricing publicly , you have to sit through a sales call just to find out what it costs.
Per-user billing punishes you every time you hire a new HVAC tech or helper.
Fleet tracking is an add-on, not included, even though it is table stakes for a service truck operation.
Implementation fees and annual contracts lock you in before you know if the software fits.
Missed after-hours calls during peak HVAC season are gone forever , no virtual receptionist to catch them.
Quote-based pricing. Required implementation fee. Per-user billing gets expensive once your crew grows past two techs.
