Questions

Common questions

How is installHUB different from ServiceM8?+

ServiceM8 is a general trades app, strongest on Apple devices, with generic forms rather than renewables compliance. installHUB is purpose-built for renewable installers across EV, solar, battery and heat pump, with DNO, MCS and G98/G99 compliance in the core and a full-feature app on Android and iOS.

Does ServiceM8 work fully on Android?+

No. ServiceM8's full app runs on iPhone and iPad; its Android app, ServiceM8 Lite, is a reduced-feature version for field staff. installHUB gives every user the full app on Android or iOS.

Does ServiceM8 handle renewables compliance like DNO, MCS and G98/G99?+

Not as built-in workflows; ServiceM8 offers generic customisable forms. installHUB builds DNO, MCS and G98/G99 compliance into the job lifecycle.

Is installHUB cheaper than ServiceM8?+

It depends on your mix. ServiceM8 prices by jobs per month with unlimited users, which can suit a small team with low job volume; installHUB prices per user from £30. The reason to choose installHUB is renewables fit, compliance and the path to Enterprise, not a lower headline price for every team.
