FieldRoutes alternative

FieldRoutes runs the routes and the office. TradeMade runs the whole pest company: routes and billing, plus the season sales, rep and tech pay, call center phones, website, mailers and AI calls and chat you rent from other vendors today. One system, built around how your company works.

What FieldRoutes users say
Why owners look around.
What comes up again and again on Reddit from pest control owners and office staff who use FieldRoutes, and what the pricing page says.
Scheduling and routing fall short
Owners and office staff say the automated scheduling and routing isn't good enough, from autoschedule booking days they want left off to routes that need fixing by hand.

Priced by how many customers you have
FieldRoutes says on its own pricing page that the monthly subscription is based on your number of active customers, so the bill grows as you grow.
Everything else is still separate
Even users who rate FieldRoutes highly still run rep and tech pay, the call center, the website and the AI on their phones somewhere else.
The first card is a real complaint posted on Reddit by people in the trade, summarized; the complaint is theirs, not ours, and we leave out names and links to protect the posters. Many users call FieldRoutes capable and a good fit for growing companies; this is the complaint that comes up most, from several separate threads. The posters are not our clients and do not endorse us. The second card is from fieldroutes.com/pricing.
Side by side
One job, or the whole company.

What we build, and what it replaces
What we build for pest control.
One system built around how your company already works, replacing the separate tools you rent today. These are the layers pest control companies lean on most.
- Layer 01 · Field
Routes in the right order
Stops sequenced for route density, rebalanced when a tech calls out, with the day's route on every tech's phone.

Season sales, straight onto the route
Summer reps knock, sell and sign the service agreement in one app, and the new account lands on the right route. How our canvassing works.

What it really costs
They won't tell you the price. Their customers will.
FieldRoutes doesn't publish its prices; its pricing page says the subscription is based on your number of active customers. Here's what pest control owners say they actually pay, card processing included.
- ~$200/moWhat owners say the subscription runs for a small company, before it climbs with your customer count.Reported on Reddit by two owners, 2025
- ~3.1%Card processing fee owners reported, plus a $25 monthly fee and a $25 setup fee.Reported on Reddit by one owner, 2025
- ~4%What one owner said card fees came to overall: a little over $500 on $14,000 of card payments.Reported on Reddit by one owner, 2025

The math
Less from month one.
An example: a pest control company paying $5,000 a month for FieldRoutes and everything around it, the texting tool, the sales app, the website, the payroll spreadsheet. The build is about $42,000, paid over the first year, so about $3,500 a month. After that, running it is $1,500 a month. They pay less from the first month, with one system that does far more and the busywork automated.
Bigger company? The gap grows. At $20,000 a month, the build is about $168,000 and running it is $2,000 a month: about $264,000 over five years against $1.2 million. At $50,000 a month, it's about $660,000 against $3 million.
Example only, using our typical figures: the build is about 70% of one year of your current software spend, paid over the first year, with a $35,000 minimum; running it is 10% of that spend, never less than $1,500 a month. Not a promise for any one business; your Blueprint gives your real number. Work out yours.
What it costs
Priced against what you pay now.
Not a cheaper copy of what you rent. One system that does far more, with the work your team does by hand today automated, priced against what you already pay.
Percentages are typical figures from our builds and proposals, not a promise for any one business. AI usage is billed at cost and depends on how much your agents do.
Switching from FieldRoutes
Straight answers.
Is TradeMade a FieldRoutes alternative?
Yes, and a wider one. FieldRoutes is software you rent. TradeMade builds one system around your company that covers the work FieldRoutes does and the parts most companies rent from other vendors or run on spreadsheets: canvassing, sales and crew pay, call center phones, your website, mailers, and AI that answers calls and chats.
Can you move our data out of FieldRoutes?
Yes. We move your customers, service history, agreements, routes and open balances over and check them against FieldRoutes before anything is switched off. Your FieldRoutes subscription is canceled on your timeline, not ours.
Is it cheaper?
Compare what you get, not just the bill. One system replaces FieldRoutes and the tools around it, does far more and automates work your office does by hand. The build is about 70% of one year of what you spend on software today, paid over the first year, with a $35,000 minimum. After that, running it costs 10% of that spend, never less than $1,500 a month, plus AI usage at cost. A company spending $5,000 a month pays about $3,500 a month in the build year, then $1,500 a month. The calculator on our home page shows your own number.
How long does it take to switch?
The Blueprint session gives you a real timeline for your company. For comparison, one of our home improvement clients went from a blank page to daily use in eighteen days.
Do we lose anything FieldRoutes does today?
The Blueprint maps every FieldRoutes feature you actually use, and the build covers those before FieldRoutes is canceled. If something you rely on isn't covered yet, you keep FieldRoutes until it is.
Who owns the system?
Your data is always yours. You hold a license to run, repair and change your system for your own business, for good, or you can own it outright, quoted case by case. Our trained AI agents stay ours and run as a service.
