FieldPulse requires a demo call before you see pricing. Once you are in the process, you have invested time before knowing what the platform costs or whether it fits your budget. IRONGRID publishes three flat-rate tiers on the pricing page so you can evaluate the cost before creating an account.
Why contractors switch from FieldPulse to IRONGRID
The specific differences that matter when you're evaluating the switch.
Unlimited team members, no per-seat fees
FieldPulse charges per user, which means your software cost grows every time you bring on a new technician, admin, or manager. IRONGRID includes unlimited team members on every plan. Add your full crew without watching your monthly bill increase.
Pricing you can see without a sales call
IRONGRID publishes three tiers: Starter at $49/month, Pro at $149/month, and Business at $249/month. You can start a 14-day free trial without talking to anyone. FieldPulse requires a demo before showing pricing.
Custom billing rate calculations, not just flat-rate pricebooks
IRONGRID's Custom Calculations let you define labor rates, material markup percentages, and cost formulas specific to your work order types. Every invoice applies them automatically. FieldPulse's pricebook is built for flat-rate pricing; Custom Calculations handle the jobs where costs do not fit a standard rate card.
Subcontractor access built in
IRONGRID lets you invite subcontractors and specialty trades to view only their assigned work orders, with no access to the rest of your account. FieldPulse has no equivalent subcontractor portal.
