ServiceM8 offers an entry plan at £25/month with unlimited users. This comparison is strictly workflow-led and margin-led, focusing on the hidden impact of monthly job limits and recurring cleaning rotas.
ServiceM8 is a widely respected field service application built for trade contractors like plumbers and electricians. Here is how its architecture applies to commercial and domestic cleaning teams.
ServiceM8 does not charge per user — it charges per completed job. Their £25 Starter tier caps you at 20 jobs/month, and the £75 Growing tier caps you at 80 jobs/month.
In cleaning, a modest team of 8 to 10 cleaners easily completes 250 to 500 cleans per month. On ServiceM8, this forces you onto the £145/month Premium or £299/month plan plus extra job pack surcharges. Opso never caps or meters your jobs.
Trade software treats each visit as a single dispatch ticket. Cleaning businesses manage ongoing contracts: three visits per week, cleaner rotation, key custody notes, and sickness cover. Opso is built for recurring cleaning rotas.
ServiceM8 tracks material markups on invoices. It does not calculate ongoing contract profitability factoring in variable cleaner pay, travel time, and consumables. Opso delivers real-time margin visibility across every client contract.
