Voice-first vs typing — the wedge. ServiceM8 needs you to type every line.

What ServiceM8 is good at

ServiceM8 is the gold standard for Apple-using Australian tradies who need a full suite — scheduling, job cards, forms, Xero native, large form library. Built in Australia.

Where VoxQuote wins

ServiceM8 is Apple-only. That alienates the huge Android slice of the AU trade workforce. VoxQuote runs on any phone via PWA and any browser on desktop. And ServiceM8's quoting flow still involves typing — VoxQuote's is voice-first.
