Why businesses switch from FieldPulse

FieldPulse covers job management basics. But growing service businesses need communication tools that convert leads and retain customers.

No built-in phone system

FieldPulse doesn't include a business phone number. You need a separate VoIP provider or you're handing out your personal cell. Kairvio gives you a dedicated business line with call forwarding, voicemail transcription, and missed-call auto-texts built in.

No AI assistant or receptionist

FieldPulse has no AI capabilities. Every message and missed call requires your manual follow-up. Kairvio's AI assistant answers customer questions, shares pricing, and books appointments 24/7 — even when you're on a job site.

No unified messaging inbox

FieldPulse handles basic SMS notifications, but there's no single inbox for texts, emails, Facebook DMs, and Instagram messages. Kairvio brings every customer conversation into one thread so nothing falls through the cracks.

Per-user pricing adds up quickly

FieldPulse charges around $99/mo for a single user and scales up from there as you add team members. Kairvio offers flat-rate plans starting at $79/mo with no per-user fees — your whole team can use it without surprises on the bill.

Pricing that stays predictable

No surprises as your team grows. Kairvio is one flat price.
