About FieldOpsAudit

FieldOpsAudit exists to answer one question well: what does a piece of field service software actually cost, and what does it actually do, once you get past the marketing page? Most comparison sites in this space either aggregate star ratings without financial context, or are run by the vendors themselves. We do neither.

What we cover

We publish three kinds of pages for owners and managers running trade service businesses — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and similar field-based operations:

• Software comparisons that model real cost at specific technician counts, not just published "starting at" pricing.
• Interactive calculators for total cost of ownership, billable rates, and other numbers that actually drive a hiring or software decision.
• Compliance guides that cite the specific federal or state regulation involved — OSHA, DOL, EPA, IRS — rather than paraphrasing someone else's summary of it.

How we research and write

Every page starts from a structured research pass against current, primary sources: vendor pricing pages, government regulatory text, and public documentation — not from summarizing what's already ranking on Google. Drafting is AI-assisted, and every page is reviewed and edited by a person before publishing, checked against the sources cited, and updated when pricing or rules change. We'd rather publish fewer pages that are accurate than more pages that aren't.

Where we've used estimates rather than confirmed figures — for example, in calculator defaults — we say so explicitly on the page rather than presenting an estimate as a verified number.

How we make money

FieldOpsAudit is supported by display advertising. We do not accept payment from software vendors to influence rankings, comparisons, or calculator outputs. If that ever changes for a specific page, it will be disclosed clearly on that page — see our disclaimer for details.

Who runs this

FieldOpsAudit is run by a small, independent team focused on cutting through vendor marketing in the field service software space. Rather than relying on a background in the trades, this site's value comes from process: every comparison and calculator is built from structured research into current vendor pricing, government regulatory text, and public cost data, then checked and edited by hand before it's published. Where a page relies on an estimate rather than a confirmed figure, that's stated on the page itself.

We're not affiliated with any of the software vendors we cover, and we don't accept payment to influence a comparison or calculator result.
