The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Redlist no pricing is published by the vendor, and the four licence types have different capabilities, so the only way to size a budget is a quote and the widely repeated per-user figures come from review sites.; Skedulo not a trades suite: no estimating, invoicing or customer-facing quoting pipeline
  • They diverge on capability: Redlist covers Lubrication routes, Skedulo covers Scheduling optimisation.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Redlist

  • No pricing is published by the vendor, and the four licence types have different capabilities, so the only way to size a budget is a quote and the widely repeated per-user figures come from review sites.
  • Cost scales with licensed users, which is awkward for operations with large numbers of technicians who each need only to record a completed lubrication route.
  • Outside lubrication the CMMS is ordinary, so organisations without a lubrication-driven failure problem pay a specialist price for general functionality.
  • The customer base and support presence are North American, which affects response times, lubricant catalogue coverage and reference availability elsewhere.
  • The integration list is short compared with established CMMS platforms, so connecting to an ERP or a plant historian is likely to need custom API work.

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

Redlist: Is Redlist only for lubrication?

No, it is a full CMMS with work orders and scheduling, but lubrication management is the reason most customers choose it.

Skedulo: What does Skedulo cost?

Quoted per organisation and not published.

Redlist: How is it licensed?

Per user, across four licence types with different capabilities, rather than by asset count.

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.

Redlist: Does it publish prices?

No. Figures circulating on review sites are not vendor-published and should not be used to set a budget.

Skedulo: Do I need Salesforce?

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

Redlist: Can technicians use it without signal?

Yes, the mobile app captures work offline and syncs later, which is the normal case in mining and oilfield sites.
