Fee savings: $290→$6 on a $10,000 invoice
FieldPulse can be a practical tool for smaller field-service teams, but the economics still need a second look once the crew grows and invoices get larger. Subscription price matters. So does the cost of collecting payment.
Using the required comparison math, a card payment at 2.9% + 30 cents is about $290 on a $10,000 invoice before any Conduit 1% platform fee comparison. With Conduit ACH, the fee is $1 plus Stripe ACH processing at 0.8% capped at $5. That makes the $10,000 ACH cost $6.
That difference is clearest on work where the invoice is large enough for percentage fees to sting: equipment-heavy jobs, multi-day repairs, commercial maintenance, or project deposits. Conduit keeps the payment flow link-based, so the office can offer ACH without adding a separate collection process.
Who FieldPulse is right for
FieldPulse can be right for a company that likes a smaller field-service platform and does not need the integrations or team economics to change. If your current setup is working, your team is trained, and the monthly bill fits the budget, switching may not be urgent.
It may also be the better short-term option if you rely on FieldPulse-specific records that need manual review, such as equipment or communication history. Those items do not move one-to-one according to the migration guide, so plan around them before changing systems.
Who Conduit is right for
Conduit is a strong fit for teams that want to consolidate daily work without paying more for every additional user. The approved comparison shows Conduit at $65/mo for a 5-person team versus FieldPulse at $259–359/mo, and the ACH option gives owners another lever for protecting margin on larger invoices.
Conduit is also worth considering when lower-tier integration limits are getting in the way. It is built for contractors who want the basics to stay connected: customers, jobs, invoices, bids, pricebook, scheduling, team time, and payments.

Can I test Conduit before turning off FieldPulse?
Yes. The migration guide states FieldPulse runs alongside Conduit untouched, so you can verify records before deactivating the FieldPulse subscription.
Why mention ACH on a comparison page?
Because invoice collection cost is part of value. A lower subscription helps, but large card payments can erase savings quickly if ACH is not offered.
