Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Skedulo: What does Skedulo cost?
Quoted per organisation and not published.
Synchroteam: What does Synchroteam cost?
It publishes per-user monthly pricing on its site, which is unusual in field service software where quote-only is the norm.
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.
Synchroteam: How does it compare with ServiceTitan?
ServiceTitan is far deeper on the commercial side — estimating, financing, marketing — and priced accordingly. Synchroteam covers scheduling, dispatch and invoicing for less.
Skedulo: Do I need Salesforce?
No, but its Salesforce integration is a large part of the appeal and it is less compelling without it.
Synchroteam: Does the mobile app work offline?
Yes, job details and capture work without signal and sync when connection returns.
