Despite the similarities in name and target audience, these two software solutions are quite different. ServiceM8 is focused more on “on-the-go” tradespeople, while meMate caters to more established businesses with a more robust workflow.
ServiceM8 is suitable for plumbers and tradespeople who need to quickly provide quotes, send invoices while on location, and track the jobs of other team members.
It is relatively easy to use and flexible, making it ideal for businesses that need to handle tasks on-site efficiently.

What’s MeMate Good For?
MeMate, on the other hand, is designed to be run from an office environment. It offers features for quoting, invoicing, and project management, with the ability to assign and track jobs for employees and contractors.
Although it is less flexible in terms of on-the-go usage, meMate provides a more structured and secure system, enabling managers to maintain a strict workflow.

In short
If you need a quick quoting solution you can use on the go, ServiceM8 is the way to go. However, if you have a manager who processes requests, allocates tasks to contractors, replies to customers, provides quotes, and manages projects, meMate is the software for you.
Choosing software is about finding the right balance between functionality and a simple, intuitive interface.
