Why it makes the shortlist

ServiceM8 publishes scheduling, online bookings, quoting, invoicing and client history across all plans. Paid plans are not priced per user; the main scaling variable is monthly new-job volume plus feature availability.

What mobile detailers should notice

The Dispatch Map and Apple CarPlay are listed across all plans. Auto Routing is an add-on that ServiceM8 says is available across all plans—so “available” should not be read as “included at no extra cost.” That distinction matters when comparing route economics.
