  • Only Kickserv has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Joblogic the published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.; Kickserv deliberately limited: no advanced dispatch optimisation, inventory or multi-location depth
  • They diverge on capability: Joblogic covers PPM contract scheduling, Kickserv covers Estimates to invoices.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Joblogic

  • The published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.
  • Users are counted as office staff, engineers and managers alike, so a business with many part-time or seasonal engineers pays full seats for people who log a handful of jobs a month.
  • The entry price is billed annually, so there is no low-commitment monthly option to trial the product properly at scale.
  • Compliance certificates, terminology and accounting integrations are written for the UK and Ireland, which makes the product a poor fit outside those markets despite being sold internationally.
  • The mobile app carries a lot of configurable form logic, and engineers on older devices report slow loading and sync on jobs with large certificate sets, which costs time on site.

Kickserv

  • Deliberately limited: no advanced dispatch optimisation, inventory or multi-location depth
  • Reporting is basic compared with the larger platforms
  • Growing businesses commonly outgrow it and migrate, which is a real switching cost later
  • The free tier is genuinely small and most working use needs a paid plan

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Joblogic: Do I need the Premium plan?

There is a free tier for very small use, with paid plans published above it. Most working businesses need a paid plan.

Joblogic: Are subcontractors charged as users?

No. Joblogic counts office staff, engineers and managers as users; customers and subcontractors are not counted as seats.

Kickserv: Who is it for?

Small home-service operators running a handful of crews, not companies with large dispatch operations.

Joblogic: Does it work offline?

Yes, the engineer app completes jobs, forms and signatures without signal and syncs later, which matters in plant rooms and basements.

Quite possibly. It is built for the simple end, and growing businesses commonly migrate to ServiceTitan or Jobber.

Joblogic: Can it issue gas and electrical certificates?

Yes, statutory UK certificate templates are built in, and the top tier adds a form builder for your own documents.
