Is Field a good alternative to Simpro for a small service business?

If you work alone or run a small crew, Field gives you jobs, quotes, invoices, rosters and checked hours in one app. Simpro says it works with teams of 5 up to 500 or more staff, and adds stock control, projects and fleet tracking for bigger operations.

Does Simpro or Field work with no signal?

Simpro says its mobile app keeps working when the connection drops and syncs when it comes back. Field works partly with no signal. Clock-ins, notes and photos save on the phone and sync later.
