Where Fieldmagic goes further
Compliance as a core workflow
Inspections, test records and safety evidence are first-class workflows - templated inspections that produce signed, dated certificates your clients and auditors accept.
Defect to quote in one visit
A failed inspection item becomes a priced remedial quote before the technician leaves site. Simpro handles defects, but Fieldmagic makes the close-out-to-revenue loop the default path.
Live in days, not months
Start on the free plan, import your customers and assets from CSV, and build inspection templates with guided onboarding - no implementation project required.
Switching from Simpro: common questions
- Is Fieldmagic cheaper than Simpro?
- Fieldmagic publishes its pricing: free for up to 5 users, then from $235 USD/month for a 5-user team on the Professional plan, with additional users at $45 USD/month. Simpro does not publish pricing - you'll need to go through their sales process for a quote, and implementation fees are common. For small to mid-sized compliance-focused teams, Fieldmagic is typically significantly lower in total cost.
- Can I migrate my data from Simpro to Fieldmagic?
- Yes. Customers, sites, assets and open jobs can be imported from CSV exports out of Simpro. Our onboarding team helps map your asset registers and inspection templates so service history carries across cleanly.
- Does Fieldmagic handle the same compliance work as Simpro?
- For recurring maintenance and inspections - fire service routines, electrical testing, safety evidence - Fieldmagic is purpose-built: templated inspections, asset-level results, defect capture and client-ready certificates are core workflows, not add-ons.
- Who should stay on Simpro?
- If your business is primarily large project and installation work with complex multi-stage job costing, Simpro's project features are deep. If your revenue is recurring maintenance, inspections and compliance reporting, Fieldmagic is the better fit.
