Migrate your Kickserv data
Affordable field service CRM for small teams with scheduling, invoicing, and QuickBooks sync. Capped at 20 users with a feature-limited mobile app.
In its favor
Why people choose Kickserv
The signal that keeps Kickserv on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Lowest entry price among FSM tools at $60/month with all features included rather than locked behind higher tiers, making it popular with solo technicians and small contractors.
Bidirectional QuickBooks Online sync keeps invoices, payments, and customer records consistent between Kickserv and the accounting platform without manual re-entry.
Users consistently cite the scheduling interface as intuitive and straightforward, reducing training time for field crews new to software tools.
Built-in GPS check-ins, time tracking, and expense recording give small teams a complete field toolset without paying for add-on modules.
Target customer profile of five to twenty-person field service teams matches Kickserv's feature scope and support capacity without overcomplicating the workflow.
Mobile app glitches frequently with white screen freezes, clock-in failures, and lag that disrupts technicians working in the field.
Hard 20-user ceiling forces growing companies to find an entirely new platform, with no path to higher user counts within Kickserv itself.
No offline mode means technicians in basements, rural properties, or dead zones lose access to their job data mid-assignment.
Page load performance in the web app is slow, frustrating office staff who rely on the dashboard for daily dispatching tasks.
QuickBooks Desktop integration requires an extra $50/month add-on fee that is not obvious at purchase time.

What gets migrated
Kickserv object support
Object-by-object support for Kickserv migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer records include address, contact info, and a full job history. We map Customer fields 1:1 into the destination's equivalent contact or account object, preserving the customer-center portal link if applicable.
Contacts
Fully supportedIndividual contact records are attached to Customers and used for messaging and estimate approval workflows. We preserve the full contact name, email, phone, and role during migration.
Jobs
Mapping requiredJobs are the core work-order object in Kickserv. They include status, assigned employee, location, scheduled time, expenses, photos, and notes. We map Job status and stage fields to the destination schema and flag any custom data fields for explicit value mapping.
Estimates
Mapping requiredEstimates contain line items, pricing, and signature-approval status. We preserve estimate content and approval records but note that the customer pipeline view for estimates is Kickserv-specific and may not translate directly to non-FSM destinations.
Invoices
Mapping requiredInvoices include line items, payment status, and online payment records via Stripe. We carry forward invoice amount, status, and payment history; online payment metadata is exported as metadata on the invoice record.
Employees
Fully supportedEmployee records include name, role, contact info, and API token. We map Employees to Users or Technicians in the destination. Note that API tokens are tied to the employee's password and reset on password change.
Time Entries
Fully supportedTime Entries are clock-in/clock-out records linked to Jobs and Employees. We preserve start time, end time, duration, and any notes attached to the time record.
Charges
Mapping requiredCharges represent individual line items on a Job or Invoice. We map Charges to the destination's equivalent line-item or invoice-detail object, preserving amount, description, and tax treatment.
Items
Fully supportedItems are the product and service catalog used to populate estimate and invoice line items. We transfer the Items list including pricing and description as a reference dataset.
Notes
Fully supportedNotes attach to Customers, Jobs, and other objects. We preserve note content, author, and timestamp and associate each note with its parent object in the destination.
Signatures
Mapping requiredSignature records are created when a customer approves an estimate or confirms job completion. We store the signature image URL and metadata and link it to the associated Estimate or Job record in the destination.
Events
Mapping requiredEvents represent scheduled appointments or dispatch calendar entries. We map Events to calendar or scheduling objects in the destination, preserving datetime, assigned employee, and job reference.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields can be added to Jobs, Customers, and the contact form. We identify all custom field definitions during scoping and map their values explicitly, noting that Kickserv's custom field schema is per-account and must be exported before migration.
Tags
Fully supportedTags are used to categorize Customers, Jobs, and Estimates. We preserve tags as label or category fields in the destination system.
