The free FieldPulse alternative built for Milwaukee contractors.
Milwaukee's housing stock is dominated by Polish flats, bungalows, and duplexes built in the early 1900s, with aging boilers, steam radiators, and knob-and-tube wiring still common. The metro stretches north toward Ozaukee County and west into Waukesha where newer construction drives HVAC and electrical upgrades. Manufacturing and healthcare anchor the economy, and the dense inner ring of suburbs like Wauwatosa and Shorewood runs on rehabs, basement finishes, and mechanical replacements. FieldPulse charges $99 - $299+/month for the privilege of running your business. Clockwork costs $0/month — pay only when you collect a payment.
The real cost of FieldPulse in Milwaukee.
The $99/month base plan is missing inventory management, advanced automations, and real reporting.
Every time you add a user, the bill climbs , scaling your team shouldn't mean scaling your software cost.
Customer financing requires a third-party integration, not a single click inside the app.
Fleet tracking only shows up on the higher tiers , you pay more just to see your own trucks.
No virtual receptionist means FieldPulse users still lose the 30-40% of calls that come in after hours.
Base plans start at $99/month but core features like inventory, timesheets, and advanced workflows live on higher tiers.
3.5% + 30¢ when you collect a payment. No monthly fee, no contract, no setup fee.
