The free ServiceFusion alternative built for San Francisco contractors.
The Bay Area is one of the most expensive residential service markets in the country, with Victorian and Edwardian homes in the city, mid-century tract homes on the Peninsula, and sprawling suburbs across the East Bay. Seismic retrofits, sewer lateral compliance, and electrification upgrades dominate the remodel scene. 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 San Francisco.
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.
