Consider switching to Jobber: Jobber offers similar job management features tailored for service businesses.
Yes, the current ServiceM8 Android app supports core jobs, scheduling, quotes, invoices, payments, forms and assets. It still lacks documented iOS features such as Room Scan, diagrams and PDF editing from preview, so test the specific field workflow before choosing devices. ServiceM8 Phone is a separate add-on whose mobile requirements still specify iOS; core Android support does not establish Phone support.
ServiceM8 lets you use previously synced job and client information and record updates, notes and photos offline, with changes synchronising later. You still need connectivity to produce final PDF quotes, invoices or forms and to send email or SMS. Download the relevant job information before entering a coverage gap and test the complete workflow you expect to use.
ServiceM8 documents a Xero connection for customer records, items, invoices and payments. It also offers accounting connections for MYOB Business and QuickBooks Online. Check the initial import and invoice handoff with your own records rather than assuming every attachment or accounting workflow transfers automatically.
ServiceM8 can import customers and items through its supported accounting connections. If you are not using one of those systems, the vendor documents a client CSV bulk-import workflow. That establishes customer-record import, not automatic migration of every historical job, attachment or custom field from another platform.
Creating a new job card uses a job credit, including when the card is initially a quote. Converting that existing quote into a work order does not consume a second credit. This matters when estimating monthly volume because unsuccessful quotes can still have created job cards.
ServiceM8 supports forms linked to field work, and every plan can purchase and use forms from its Form Store. Building custom forms or having a partner build them requires Growing or higher. Confirm that the template captures the information your process requires; purchasing a form does not itself establish regulatory compliance.
Office Agent can search business records, prepare quotes or invoices, and perform supported actions with approval, subject to permissions and enabled add-ons. Standard chat on eligible current paid plans has a shared daily usage allowance; scheduled tasks require Pro and Business Owner access. Reporting also requires the Advanced Reporting Pack and report permissions, and the reviewed policies leave AI-model training treatment unclear.
ServiceM8 documents a complete account ZIP backup covering clients, jobs, notes, photos and attachments, which you should obtain before closure. The closure guide warns of irreversible data removal and requires outstanding balances to be cleared, while the privacy policy preserves legal-retention exceptions. The terms also require advance termination notice, so clarify the final billing date before closing. Cancelling an Apple subscription is different: it returns the account to Trial without deleting it.
Test the full path from a customer request through approval, scheduling, field records and payment. Jobber documents Client Hub workflows for customer requests, quote approval or changes, appointments and payments; ServiceM8 documents job scheduling, field records and accounting connections, with current Android support subject to remaining feature differences. Compare those specific workflows and package requirements rather than relying on older descriptions of ServiceM8 as iPhone-only.
