Why Contractors Switch
These are the exact frustrations we hear from contractors searching for a better option.
With ServiceFusion, you run into this: Starter at $195/month is missing progress billing, custom documents, and advanced reporting.
With ServiceFusion, you run into this: GPS fleet tracking is locked to the Pro tier , you pay more just to see where your trucks are.
With ServiceFusion, you run into this: Payment processing rates on FusionPay are negotiated case-by-case, so you never know what you will actually pay.
With ServiceFusion, you run into this: Onboarding takes weeks, not hours, and the learning curve is steep for non-technical techs.
With ServiceFusion, you run into this: Customer financing is not offered, so you lose the big-ticket jobs to contractors who can offer monthly payments.

What You Give Up By Switching
Honest tradeoffs. We would rather lose the sale than lie to you.
You will lose the ServiceFusion FusionPay merchant account relationship if you have one. Kaldr uses its own processor at a flat 3.5% + 30¢, so switching means moving your payments stack during migration.
You will lose ServiceFusion's multi-company toggle used by some franchise operators. Kaldr supports multi-location setups, but the org-level toggling experience is different.
You do not give up any core features. Scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, payments, quoting, customer portal, QuickBooks sync, reporting, fleet tracking, virtual receptionist, and customer financing are all included in Kaldr Tech for $0/month. Every workflow a ServiceFusion user runs every day is covered.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best free alternative to ServiceFusion?+
Kaldr Tech is the only 100% free alternative to ServiceFusion built specifically for field service contractors. You get scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, payments, a 24/7 virtual receptionist, fleet tracking, and customer financing for $0/month. You only pay 3.5% + 30¢ per transaction, and there are no contracts or per-user fees.
Is Kaldr Tech really a good ServiceFusion alternative?+
Yes. Kaldr covers every core workflow that ServiceFusion charges $195 - $350+/month for — job scheduling, dispatch, quoting, invoicing, customer portal, payments, reporting, and QuickBooks sync. Kaldr also adds a 24/7 virtual receptionist, built-in customer financing, and fleet tracking that ServiceFusion either does not include or charges extra for.
How does Kaldr Tech compare to ServiceFusion for multi-tech service shops?+
For multi-tech service shops, Kaldr delivers the same day-to-day workflows as ServiceFusion — recurring jobs, route optimization, dispatch, invoicing, and automated customer reminders — with unlimited users and zero monthly fees. ServiceFusion charges $195 - $350+/month, while Kaldr is $0/month with a simple 3.5% + 30¢ per transaction.
Can I migrate from ServiceFusion to Kaldr Tech?+
Yes. Kaldr's onboarding team imports your customers, jobs, invoices, and service history from ServiceFusion during setup. Most contractors are fully live on Kaldr within 30 minutes to a day, with no downtime for your business. You can even run both platforms side by side until your ServiceFusion term expires.
Why is Kaldr Tech free when ServiceFusion charges so much?+
Kaldr earns when you earn. Instead of billing a monthly subscription, Kaldr takes a flat 3.5% + 30¢ when you process a payment through the platform. That means no setup fees, no per-user fees, and no annual contracts. ServiceFusion prices based on users and tiers, which is why a 5-tech shop often pays thousands per year before the first invoice goes out.
Is there a ServiceFusion alternative for small contractors?+
Kaldr Tech is the best ServiceFusion alternative for small contractors specifically because there is no monthly fee, no user cap, and no feature tier locking. A solo operator gets the exact same scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, virtual receptionist, and financing tools that a 20-tech shop gets. You do not upgrade to unlock features — every feature is free on day one.
