COMPARE · CHECKED OCTOBER 19, 2026
FieldPulse vs Peak
FieldPulse is a full field service system with job costing, inventory and an AI assistant on every plan, priced by quote. Peak is free and lighter, and runs on your own database and AI key.
TL;DR
Pick FieldPulse if you need job costing, inventory and maintenance agreements in one system, and a quoted per-seat price works for you. Pick Peak if you want the core tools free, with an assistant you can reach from chat, text or your own AI, and you don't need job costing yet.
Sign-up opens soon. The demo is open now, with made-up data, no sign-up needed.

WHAT IT COSTS
Their published price, and ours.
FieldPulse
Not published
FieldPulse doesn't publish prices. Its pricing page says it's seat-based and built around what your team needs, and you book a demo for a quote. The Engage add-on is priced by line and license.
From fieldpulse.com, checked October 19, 2026. Prices change, so confirm on their site.
Peak tools
$0
Free when sign-up opens (soon). You bring your own accounts for AI, texting, email and payments. Today the tools come with every Peak service plan.
Want our team to run your marketing or lead follow-up? That's a paid service, and the tools come with it. See service pricing.
WHERE FIELDPULSE IS STRONG
Credit where it's due.
- Job costing, inventory, equipment tracking and maintenance agreements
- Project management for multi-phase jobs
- Guided job stages (ClearPath), custom forms and a price book
- Maverick, an AI assistant on every plan that answers from your data, drafts estimates and builds reports
- Customer and booking portals
WHERE FIELDPULSE IS AHEAD
What Peak doesn't do yet.
If one of these is a must-have, take it seriously.
- iPhone and Android apps in the app stores
- Job costing and inventory, which Peak doesn't have yet
- An AI dispatcher that answers and books calls (Operator AI), which Peak's tools don't have
Everything not in the Peak tools yet
- iPhone and Android apps in the app stores (the tools install from your phone's browser today)
- QuickBooks and Xero sync
- Full job costing, estimate vs actual on every line
- Payroll
- A built-in AI phone receptionist
- AI takeoff from plans
WHERE PEAK IS DIFFERENT
What you get with Peak that FieldPulse doesn't do.
- The Peak tools are free, with no per-user fee. FieldPulse is seat-based, and you book a demo to get a price.
- Sherpa works from chat in each tool, by text once you connect your own texting number, or from your own AI assistant. Sends and money wait for your OK, and you can undo a change within 10 minutes.
- Your own AI assistant, like Claude or ChatGPT, can connect to Peak. We didn't find an AI connector for FieldPulse, and its API key comes from support.
The software is free
No per-user fee and no contract for the tools. You bring your own accounts for AI, texting, email and payments, and pay those companies directly at their prices. We don't mark them up.
Your data, your accounts
When sign-up opens, your customer data lives in a database you own, not ours. Export it any time. If you leave, you take everything with you.
Sherpa does the work, inside rules
Tell Sherpa "add a note to Susan Park: gate goes on the north side." It finds her and adds it, or asks you to reply YES first when the rules say so. Anything that reaches a customer or moves money waits for your approval. You can see every rule, and you can only make them stricter.
A team if you want one
You can run the tools on your own. If you'd rather have help, our team runs the marketing, lead follow-up and AI setup for you on a paid plan.
Read every Sherpa rule on what Sherpa will and won't do.
SWITCHING
Moving from FieldPulse to Peak.
Most of it is two spreadsheets. Run both side by side for a week if you like.
Step 1
Export from FieldPulse
In FieldPulse, an admin opens Customers and clicks Export at the top right. A CSV is emailed to you. Estimates and invoices have their own export. We didn't find a price book export.
Step 2
Import your customers
In Peak, open Contacts and choose Import. Upload the spreadsheet and match the columns. Rows with the same email or phone merge instead of making duplicates.
Step 3
Bring your price book
The Estimator imports your items and prices from a spreadsheet. There's a template to fill in if your old export doesn't line up.
Step 4
Connect your own accounts
Hook up your texting number, email, AI key and Stripe when you're ready to send and get paid. Nothing goes out until you do.
Step 5
Finish open jobs, then switch
Let jobs already in progress finish where they are, and start new ones in Peak. Rather not do the move yourself? Our team can help.
WHAT YOU SET UP
What works the day you sign in.
The tools are free. Texting, email, AI and payments run on accounts you own, so you pay those companies directly.
Works when you sign in
- Customers, deals, notes and tasks
- Estimates with options, change orders and invoices, shared by link
- Projects, phases, crew schedules, photos and daily logs
- A customer page for each job
Needs your own account
- Texting
- Two-way texts, missed-call text-back, text review requests and texting Sherpa. Connect your own texting account (such as Twilio), with your number registered with the carriers. Nothing sends or charges until you do.
- Sending estimates, invoices and messages by email. Connect your own email sending account. Nothing sends or charges until you do.
- AI
- Sherpa and AI drafts. Connect your own AI key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or a compatible provider). Nothing sends or charges until you do.
- Payments
- Card and bank payments on invoices. Connect your own Stripe account. Nothing sends or charges until you do.
Rather not do it yourself? Get set up: we connect all four and import your contacts and price book, $997 one-time.
Pick FieldPulse if
You need job costing, inventory and maintenance agreements in one system, and a quoted per-seat price works for you.
Pick Peak if
You want the core tools free, with an assistant you can reach from chat, text or your own AI, and you don't need job costing yet.
FIELDPULSE VS PEAK
Common questions.
FieldPulse didn't publish prices when we checked on October 19, 2026. Its pricing page says it's seat-based and you book a demo for a quote. The Peak tools are free when sign-up opens, and you pay your own texting, email, AI and payment providers.
Both answer questions from your data and can create records. Sherpa runs on your own AI key, you can text it or reach it from your own AI assistant, and anything that reaches a customer or moves money waits for your OK. Maverick is included on every FieldPulse plan.
Yes. An admin exports customers from the Customers page, and FieldPulse emails a CSV. Then open Contacts in Peak and import it.
Not in the App Store yet. Peak installs from your phone's browser to your home screen, and the crew app works offline. FieldPulse has iPhone and Android apps in the stores.
