VERDICT

Should I use ServiceM8?

Job tracking & CRM for trade contractors & home service businesses. Cut paperwork, get more jobs done & provide amazing service. Try ServiceM8 Free. - servicem8.com

Depends. Small trade and home-service crews can test it risk-free via the free tier; it fits field job tracking plus invoicing. Enterprises or buyers needing verified pricing and security posture should look elsewhere.

Confidence

Low. Based on 3 public sources; evidence is thin, mostly vendor marketing.
