Compare ServiceM8 to NextMinute

ServiceM8, like Tradify, is perfect for smaller tradespeople managing simple projects with minimal staff. It's great for overseeing small teams across various job sites with efficient scheduling and alerts. However, ServiceM8 is only available on iPhone, leaving Android users without an app.

NextMinute supports both Android and iPhone, and is designed for complex projects like renovations, new builds, and landscaping. With advanced job planning tools like Gantt charts, comprehensive back costing, supplier invoice integration, payroll integration, and full reporting capabilities, NextMinute stands out as a great ServiceM8 alternative for managing intricate construction and renovation projects.
