MossyKit vs ServiceM8
Job management priced by job volume rather than per seat. MossyKit runs the whole job for UK exterior cleaners — the enquiry, the quote, the diary, the invoice and chasing it. Which of the two you want depends on what your week actually looks like.
The short answer
Choose ServiceM8 if your team is on iPhones and you want job management without per-seat costs. Choose MossyKit if you want one place for enquiries, quotes, the diary, invoices and getting paid, built around exterior cleaning rather than bent to fit it. If your week is genuinely both, running one of each is a sensible answer and cheaper than you'd expect.

What ServiceM8 does well
- Unlimited users at the flat tier — unusual, and good for small teams
- Well-regarded mobile workflow
- Priced by jobs, so a quiet month costs less
Where it may not suit you
- The full-featured app is iOS only, which rules it out for a lot of vans
- Job-volume pricing gets expensive at high volume
Where MossyKit falls short
So you can rule us out quickly if we're not right:
- No round or route management — if your work is mostly recurring visits at a set price, round software suits you better
- Built for UK exterior cleaning, so a general trades business will find it narrow
- New — no years of track record behind it
So which one?
Pick ServiceM8 if your team is on iPhones and you want job management without per-seat costs.
Pick MossyKit if you want one place for enquiries, quotes, the diary, invoices and getting paid, built around exterior cleaning rather than bent to fit it.
Use both if your week is genuinely split — plenty of cleaners run round software for the recurring side and something else for quoting one-offs.
