Why Contractors Switch from Kickserv
Tiered Pricing Gets Expensive
Kickserv charges $75/month (5 users), $149/month (10 users), or $249/month (20 users). Annual pricing at $60-199/month is still costly. PocketBoss is $19.99/month for up to 3 users - that's 75% savings.
User Limits Force Upgrades
Need 6 users? You must jump to the $149/month plan for 10 users. Growing from 3 to 4 users doubles your cost. PocketBoss Enterprise scales smoothly with custom pricing.
Annual Contracts for Best Price
To get Kickserv's discounted rates ($60-199/month), you need an annual commitment. PocketBoss is always $19.99/month, no contract required.
PocketBoss vs Kickserv: Side by Side

Why Service Contractors Choose PocketBoss
We built PocketBoss for contractors who want powerful features without paying for unused user seats.

No Forced Upgrades
With Kickserv, adding one user can force a plan upgrade that doubles your cost. PocketBoss Enterprise scales smoothly without sudden jumps in pricing.
Built for Simplicity
Kickserv offers comprehensive features that can feel overwhelming. PocketBoss focuses on what contractors actually need: invoicing, scheduling, estimates, and payments that just work.
Month-to-Month Always
No annual contracts required. PocketBoss earns your business every month with great software and fair pricing, not by locking you into long-term commitments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can PocketBoss be so much cheaper than Kickserv?
Kickserv uses tiered pricing that often forces you to pay for more users than you need. We built PocketBoss with transparent pricing: $19.99/month for up to 3 users, with Enterprise options that scale to your actual team size. No paying for empty seats, no overhead markup.
What happens if I have 4 users?
With Kickserv, you'd need to jump from the Start plan (5 users, $75/month) to potentially a higher tier. With PocketBoss, you simply move to our Enterprise plan with custom pricing that fits your exact needs - no forced jumps to plans designed for 10 or 20 users.
