The free FieldEdge alternative built for Nashville contractors.
Nashville is one of the hottest growth markets in the South, with thousands of new residents arriving each month and new builds spreading from Franklin to Hendersonville. Short-term rental properties around downtown add a whole category of turnover work for cleaners, handymen, and trades on call. 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 Nashville.
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.
3.5% + 30¢ when you collect a payment. No monthly fee, no contract, no setup fee.
