Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

BigChange

Simpro Group bought BigChange in October 2024 and also owns Simpro, AroFlo and ClockShark, so a UK buyer comparing BigChange with Simpro is choosing between two products whose roadmaps are set by the same owner.
The telematics is bundled rather than optional, so businesses that do not run a van fleet, or that are locked into an existing tracking contract, pay for capability they cannot use or duplicate.
Nothing is priced publicly and the vehicle hardware brings an equipment element into the contract, so total cost depends on van count as well as user count and cannot be estimated before a sales call.
Contracts have historically been multi-year with hardware attached, which makes leaving mid-term expensive and reduces your leverage at renewal.
The product is built around UK operating practice, accounting packages and compliance documents, so it is a weak fit for North America and needs configuration work in mainland Europe.

Skedulo

Not a trades suite: no estimating, invoicing or customer-facing quoting pipeline
Quote-only pricing with no published rates
Heavily oriented to Salesforce, and less compelling without it
Optimisation quality depends on accurate skill and availability data, which is a data-hygiene commitment

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

BigChange: Who owns BigChange?

Simpro Group, which acquired it from Great Hill Partners in October 2024. Simpro is backed by K1 Investment Management and also owns Simpro, AroFlo and ClockShark.

Skedulo: What does Skedulo cost?

Quoted per organisation and not published.

BigChange: Is the vehicle tracking a separate purchase?

No. Telematics hardware and data are part of the BigChange subscription, which is the main reason it is chosen over job management tools that integrate a third-party tracker.

Skedulo: Is it a field service suite?

No. It solves scheduling and dispatch for deskless workers. Contractors wanting estimating and invoicing should look at ServiceTitan or Jobber.

BigChange: Does BigChange publish pricing?

No. Pricing is quoted after a demo and depends on user numbers, vehicle numbers and contract length.

Skedulo: Do I need Salesforce?

No, but its Salesforce integration is a large part of the appeal and it is less compelling without it.

BigChange: Is it usable outside the UK?

It is sold mainly in the UK and Ireland with some European deployment. Accounting integrations and compliance content assume UK practice.
