What FieldPulse leaves to you

FieldPulse is capable job management software with phone and AI add-ons. Choosing, paying for, and setting up those pieces is still on you.

Phone and AI are extra add-ons

FieldPulse sells its phone system (Engage), AI phone receptionist (Operator AI), and website chat AI (Chat AI) as paid add-ons, priced by quote. With Kairvio, your business number (or your existing one, forwarded), missed-call text-back, and AI messaging are part of the flat price, and we set them up for you.

AI that answers texts and social DMs

FieldPulse's Chat AI covers your website chat. Kairvio's AI answers web chat too, and also replies to texts and Facebook/Instagram messages, shares your pricing, and books jobs day or night, even when you're on a job site.

Social messages in the same inbox

With the Engage add-on, FieldPulse logs calls, texts, voicemail, and email, but Facebook and Instagram messages aren't part of it. Kairvio brings calls, texts, web chat, Facebook, and Instagram into one inbox, on your phone and computer, so nothing falls through the cracks.

You learn it, set it up, and run it

FieldPulse doesn't publish prices: it's seat-based, you buy seats for a contract term, and the setup is on you. Kairvio is one flat monthly price for your whole team, quoted on a 15-minute call, with no per-user fees, and a local person sets it up and makes changes when you need them.

Pricing that stays predictable

No surprises as your team grows. Kairvio is one flat price for your whole team, and the setup is done for you.

Being fair: if you run a larger crew and want dispatching, job tracking, and AI call answering your office staff will manage, FieldPulse may fit better. Kairvio is built for owners who want calls and messages answered and jobs booked without running another piece of software.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kairvio a FieldPulse alternative?

For many small service businesses, yes. Both cover scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and payments. The difference is that FieldPulse is software you learn, set up, and run yourself. Kairvio is set up and run for you, and adds missed-call text-back, AI replies to texts, web chat, and Facebook/Instagram messages, and one inbox for every conversation.

How does pricing compare?

FieldPulse doesn't publish prices. It's seat-based and quote-only: you buy a set number of seats for a contract term, and add-ons like its phone system and AI agents are priced separately. Kairvio is one flat monthly price for your whole team, quoted on a 15-minute call, with no per-user fees.

Does FieldPulse include a business phone?

FieldPulse offers Engage, a VoIP phone and texting system, and Operator AI, an AI phone receptionist, as paid add-ons. With Kairvio we set up your business number (or forward your existing one), with missed-call text-back and every call and text in one inbox, as part of the flat price. AI phone answering is also available to add; ask about it on the call.

Can I bring my FieldPulse data into Kairvio?

Yes. We import your customers, jobs, and price book from CSV for you during setup.

Will the AI book on my calendar?

Yes. Kairvio's AI sees your real calendar and books appointments from texts, web chat, and social messages. The customer ends up with a confirmed booking, not a callback request.
