How ServiceM8 job credits and monthly limits work
Per ServiceM8’s own support documentation, a job credit is used the moment a job is created, whether it starts life as a Quote or a Work Order. Converting a Quote into a Work Order does not consume a second credit. Unused job and SMS credits expire at the end of each month rather than carrying over — worth knowing if your job volume is seasonal.
Free and Starter plans for very small businesses
The Free plan covers one user and 30 jobs a month with no SMS included — enough to trial the product, but a low ceiling for an active solo operator. Starter, at $29/month, jumps straight to unlimited users and 50 jobs a month with 100 SMS included, which is the more realistic starting point for a genuinely small but active business.
Growing, Premium and Premium Plus plan differences
Growing ($79/month) triples the job allowance to 150 with 300 SMS included. Premium ($149/month) pushes to 500 jobs and 1,000 SMS. Premium Plus ($349/month) covers 1,500 jobs before a 20c-per-job overage kicks in, with 3,000 SMS included. Users remain unlimited across all four paid tiers — the price difference is entirely about job and SMS volume, not team size.
Users, SMS allowances, add-ons and feature gates
Every paid tier includes unlimited users at no extra per-seat cost — a genuinely different model to per-seat pricing. SMS beyond your plan’s allowance costs 10c per message on every paid tier. The ServiceM8 Phone add-on starts from $19/month with a one-month free trial available on any subscription.
Device and platform considerations
ServiceM8’s most complete experience is on iOS and iPad, including Apple Pencil support for detailed job sketches, plus Apple CarPlay and Apple Watch integration. Android users get “ServiceM8 Lite,” described by ServiceM8 itself as a simplified version with core features only — a genuine, worth-knowing asymmetry if your team runs Android devices in the field. Desktop apps exist for Mac and PC.
Estimate the total monthly cost for your workflow
Start from your actual monthly job count, not your team size — that is what moves you between ServiceM8 tiers. A team running 120 jobs a month needs Growing ($79), not Starter. Then add likely SMS overage past your plan’s allowance at 10c each, and the ServiceM8 Phone add-on (from $19/month) if you need it. A business on Growing sending 400 SMS a month, for example, pays $79 plus roughly $10 in SMS overage (100 messages at 10c) before any add-ons.
ServiceM8 versus Opsler pricing: compare equivalent units
Opsler prices per seat, not per job: $25 per seat per month (USD), no seat minimum, 14-day trial with no card required. The free Budding plan covers 2 seats (1 admin and 1 technician), 50 jobs a month, 100 inventory items, 1 inventory location.
Said plainly, since this is written by Opsler: the two pricing models don’t translate directly — ServiceM8 scales with job volume and includes unlimited users; Opsler scales with seats and doesn’t cap job volume the same way. Opsler is not claimed as a feature-for-feature replacement, and Opsler’s price stays in USD, not converted to AUD.
Currency, GST, promotions and publication-day checklist
- Currency: figures above are shown in AUD, as published on ServiceM8’s own Australian pricing page.
- GST: not stated on the pages checked for this research — confirm directly with ServiceM8 or at checkout before budgeting.
- Promotions: any limited-time discount is separate from the list prices shown here — check the live page for current offers.
- Job credits: unused job/SMS credits expire monthly; they don’t bank for a slow month.
- Re-verify before you buy: pricing pages change — treat this page as a dated snapshot from 4 August 2026, not a live feed.
ServiceM8 pricing questions
Five tiers, checked directly on ServiceM8's own Australian pricing page on 4 August 2026: Free at $0 (1 user, 30 jobs a month), Starter at $29/month, Growing at $79/month, Premium at $149/month, and Premium Plus at $349/month. All figures are shown in AUD on ServiceM8's own site. Every paid tier includes unlimited users — the thing that scales with price is your monthly job allowance, not headcount.
A job credit is used the moment you create a job, whether it starts as a Quote or a Work Order — converting a Quote into a Work Order does not use a second credit, per ServiceM8's own support documentation. Unused job and SMS credits expire at the end of each month rather than rolling over. Users are unlimited on every paid tier; only the job allowance (and included SMS) changes as you move up.
ServiceM8's own pages checked for this research did not state whether the published prices include or exclude GST — that is a genuine gap in the publicly available information as of 4 August 2026, and worth confirming directly with ServiceM8 or at checkout rather than assuming either way. Extra costs to budget for: SMS beyond your monthly allowance (10c each on every paid tier), the ServiceM8 Phone add-on (from $19/month), and the 20c-per-job overage once you're past the Premium Plus allowance.
