The free FieldPulse alternative built for New York contractors.
The NYC metro spans five boroughs plus Long Island, Westchester, and North Jersey, each with its own permit and licensing maze. Co-op and condo boards add another layer of approvals for anything touching a shared wall, and parking alone can eat an hour off every service call in Manhattan and Brooklyn. 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 New York.
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.
