EternalEngine vs Kickserv
Kickserv is a straightforward, inexpensive scheduling, estimating and invoicing tool built for small field-service teams.
Our take
Where Kickserv wins: Kickserv wins if you want the simplest possible scheduling, estimating and invoicing tool and nothing else.
Where we win: We tend to win when you want a real CRM pipeline with deal stages, not just a job list.
The price story
Kickserv: From $60/mo billed annually, $75 month-to-month (Start, up to 5 users); Run $119 or $149; Scale $199 or $249. EternalEngine: from $9.95/mo (Basic), Team at $49/mo for 3 users, every paid plan with a 30-day free trial —full plan ladder.
Kickserv's Start plan at $60/mo billed annually ($75 month-to-month) already covers up to 5 users, so a 3-person shop pays $60/mo flat on annual billing — close to EternalEngine Team at $49/mo. But Kickserv does not publish a CRM pipeline with deal stages, email marketing, or an AI assistant at that price, and EternalEngine Team includes all three.

EternalEngine vs Kickserv questions
Is Kickserv cheaper than EternalEngine for a small crew?
For scheduling and invoicing alone, close — $60/mo on annual billing ($75 month-to-month) for up to 5 users versus $49/mo for our Team plan's 3 users. Kickserv does not include a CRM pipeline, booking page, email marketing or an AI assistant at that price; those come free with EternalEngine Team.
Does Kickserv have a CRM?
Kickserv is built around jobs, scheduling and invoices rather than a deal-stage CRM pipeline. ClientForge on every EternalEngine plan gives you a pipeline view with stages, notes and follow-up reminders per contact.
Can I import my Kickserv data?
Yes. Export your client list from Kickserv as CSV and import it into ClientForge — your customer list is live the same day.
What happens once my crew grows past 5 people?
On Kickserv, you move to the Run plan (10 users) at $119/mo billed annually or $149 month-to-month. On EternalEngine, you move from Team ($49/mo, 3 seats) to Pro ($99/mo, 5 seats) or add seats at $15/mo each — and you also gain field dispatch, inventory and e-signatures on Pro, which Kickserv prices separately or does not offer.
