AN HONEST COMPARISON

The room to grow you were missing.
Without the job-volume ceiling.

ServiceM8 is priced by plan and job volume — free through $349/mo on its published US tiers — and shines for Apple-first, smaller operations. Thorbis is for teams outgrowing those tiers who need deeper dispatch, costing, and AI across a larger field organization.

02 · THE CEILING, NOT THE INVOICE

Job-volume tiers cap what you can run.

ServiceM8's US plans step up with monthly job volume — you may change plans before you change vendors. Thorbis stays one flat price with unlimited jobs, so growth never trips a tier.

Coming from ServiceM8? We pull your customers, jobs, and line items from ServiceM8 exports, normalize products and services, and validate revenue samples before launch — then rebuild your automations during the move. Dedicated onboarding beats self-serve when your data is messy.

04 · TO BE FAIR

ServiceM8 is a great fit.
For a specific kind of shop.

If you're an Apple-first, smaller operation whose monthly job volume sits comfortably inside ServiceM8's tiers, its mobile experience and lower published tiers may be the better — and cheaper — choice. Thorbis is for teams bumping into job-volume or workflow limits as they add techs and territories, who need deeper dispatch, inventory, and AI without re-platforming again. Compare totals with the official pages, not forum guesses.
