The free ServiceFusion alternative built for Buffalo contractors.
Buffalo's housing stock is dominated by early-1900s wood-frame doubles and brick singles in neighborhoods like Elmwood Village and North Buffalo, with newer suburban growth pushing into Amherst, Clarence, and Orchard Park. Affordable home prices keep homeownership rates high, but aging infrastructure means boilers, steam radiators, and galvanized supply lines are everywhere. The local permit process is straightforward but the deep winter climate rewards contractors who can handle emergency heat calls in single-digit temperatures. ServiceFusion charges $195 - $350+/month for the privilege of running your business. Clockwork costs $0/month — pay only when you collect a payment.
The real cost of ServiceFusion in Buffalo.
Starter at $195/month is missing progress billing, custom documents, and advanced reporting.
GPS fleet tracking is locked to the Pro tier , you pay more just to see where your trucks are.
Payment processing rates on FusionPay are negotiated case-by-case, so you never know what you will actually pay.
Onboarding takes weeks, not hours, and the learning curve is steep for non-technical techs.
Customer financing is not offered, so you lose the big-ticket jobs to contractors who can offer monthly payments.
Starter, Plus, and Pro tiers. Key features like GPS fleet tracking and progress billing are locked to higher tiers.
