Frequently asked questions
Is PocketBoss a direct replacement for Fieldwire?
Not automatically. Fieldwire goes deeper on plan-centered jobsite coordination, punch work, inspections, and construction project controls. PocketBoss goes broader across small service-business customer, estimate, invoice, payment, time, expense, tool, and inventory workflows. Test the exact tasks you would replace.
How does current Fieldwire pricing work?
As reviewed on August 18, 2026, Fieldwire publishes a free Basic plan limited to five users, three projects, and 100 sheets. Its published Pro, Business, and Business Plus plans are priced per user, and custom contracts are available. Prices and limits can change, so verify Fieldwire’s official pricing page before purchasing.
Does PocketBoss have native mobile apps?
Yes. PocketBoss has native iOS and Android apps and also works on the web. Supported records and actions can work offline, but offline coverage is not universal. Fieldwire also publishes mobile and offline field workflows.
Which product is better for construction drawings and punch lists?
Fieldwire is the stronger published fit when plan viewing, markups, plan-linked tasks, punch lists, inspections, BIM, RFIs, or submittals are central. PocketBoss does not claim equivalent drawing or BIM controls.
Which product is better for estimates, invoices, and customer payments?
PocketBoss directly supports its documented CRM, estimate, invoice, and eligible Stripe payment workflows. Fieldwire’s public plan matrix focuses on construction field and project management, so confirm any required billing workflow with Fieldwire. Neither product is universally better.
