Description
Ascend consolidates five essential workflows that agencies engage in weekly—forms, databases, pages, time tracking, and invoicing—into a single workspace. Rather than relying on multiple platforms like Notion, Tally, Calendly, Toggl, and FreshBooks, you can manage the entire client lifecycle within one unified system that maintains consistent data throughout.
When a client fills out an intake form, the information is directly entered into your database. Each entry is accessible as a comprehensive page containing notes, files, sub-tasks, and a built-in timer for tracking purposes. Hours logged seamlessly contribute to an invoice created from that same entry, eliminating the need for CSV exports or the hassle of copy-pasting between different applications.
This platform caters specifically to independent consultants and small agency studios that charge on an hourly basis or a retainer model. You can begin with a free tier, and then choose between the Solo plan at $19 per month or the Studio plan at $49 per month, both of which come with no additional fees for extra users. Additionally, there’s a 30-day free trial available for paid plans, requiring no credit card for sign-up, allowing you to explore its features risk-free.
Description
StrikeHoney is field service management software built for solo and small trade contractor crews in Canada - painters, landscapers, handymen, plumbers, and speciality trades like epoxy coating, tiling, and deck building. It combines lead tracking, quoting software, job management, and invoicing in one connected app, run entirely from a phone's browser with no app store download required.
The problem it solves: Contractors running a business solo or with a small crew lose time and jobs to disorganised admin - quotes with no record of whether they were sent, deposits skipped because asking feels awkward, invoices going out days late, and unpaid balances tracked by memory instead of a system.
Core features:
Lead tracking: Calls, texts, and web-form leads land in one unified inbox.
Quoting software: Quotes sent as customer-approvable links, with deposit collection built into approval.
Job management: Job status, photos, notes, and documents tracked in one record from first visit to completion.
Invoicing software: GST/HST calculated automatically by province, with payment by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or QR code.
Business phone number: A dedicated business line built into the app, keeping a contractor's personal cell private.
Who it's for: Solo operators and small crews (1–3 people) running trade businesses in Canada - not large multi-crew operations, and not businesses outside Canada.
Pricing: $24 CAD/month, or as low as $19/month billed annually. One flat plan, no tiers, no per-user fees.
What sets it apart: Most field service management software is built for the US market and localized afterward. StrikeHoney is built for Canada first - CAD pricing throughout, GST/HST-aware invoicing by province, and support familiar with Canadian trade work.
