Field service management software for contractors. Scheduling and dispatch, invoicing and card payments, online booking, review and marketing tools, and a strong mobile app. A capable, self-serve platform you set up and run yourself.
Genuinely good software. Priced in per-seat tiers, so the bill climbs as you add users and the features you want tend to sit on the higher plans.

Side-by-Side Breakdown
Where North Star Is Different
One System, Not a Stack of Add-Ons
Your jobs, your schedule, your customers, and what you're owed live in one Operations Hub, built around how your business actually works. Nothing important is parked behind a higher tier or a separate add-on.
The Numbers, Plain and Clear
The Owner Dashboard puts your money picture in front of you in plain language: what came in, what's still open, and what's coming up. No stitching together reports across plans to see how the week went.
Customers Can Help Themselves
The Customer Portal lets your customers book a visit, check on a job, and pay online whenever it suits them, under your brand. Fewer back-and-forth calls for your office, faster payment for you.
Flat Price, No Per-Seat Math
One flat monthly price. No per-seat fees that climb every time you hire, and no five-figure setup bill to get started. You know what you'll pay before you sign up, and it stays the same as your crew grows.
