If you’re outgrowing ServiceM8 — usually because of the per-job caps or the missing AI tools — Looplet is the Australian-built alternative worth a look. It runs unlimited jobs on every plan, drafts quotes with AI, and bills weekly in AUD inclusive of GST.
Why trades switch from ServiceM8
- Job caps. ServiceM8 prices by jobs per month (around 30 / 50 / 150 / 500 / 1500 per tier). Busy crews hit the ceiling and get bumped up a tier.
- No built-in AI. Quoting is still manual.
- Tier jumps. Growing job volume can push your cost up before your revenue does.

No per-job caps, ever
This is the headline reason trades move. Looplet scales on users, not job volume, so a small crew running hundreds of jobs a month never gets penalised. The free Free Starter plan already includes unlimited jobs.
AI quoting and field tools built in
Looplet drafts quotes and invoices with AI, captures job details by voice through Android Auto, and stamps photos with GPS — all standard on paid plans. See the operations page.
