Logged vs FieldVibe: invoicing-first vs scheduling-first
FieldVibe and Logged both serve solo trades and both have a free tier, but they solve different problems. FieldVibe is a scheduling app with text reminders to reduce no-shows. Logged is an invoicing app with web-link estimates clients accept in one tap and Stripe Pay Now built in. If your biggest pain is missed appointments, FieldVibe fits. If it's getting paid, Logged fits.

Where Logged wins
Web-link estimates clients tap Accept on
Logged emails the client a /e/{token} page. They open it in any browser, scroll the line items and photos, and tap Accept or Decline — no app install, no PDF download. The status syncs back to your phone and a push fires the moment they respond. FieldVibe's quote feature is built around PDFs and follow-up.
Stripe Pay Now built into every invoice
Connect Stripe once from Settings. Every invoice you send includes a Pay Now button. Clients pay by card in their browser, funds land directly in your bank account, and you get a push notification when payment clears. FieldVibe does not include card payment acceptance.
Push the instant a client opens your invoice
Logged uses click-based tracking — when the client actually taps the link in your email, a push fires: "Viewed ✓ — INV-0017 — Sarah just opened your invoice." Then again on payment. Customer engagement is not part of FieldVibe's product surface.
Fully offline, every screen
Job creation, photo capture, line item entry, PDF generation — all work with zero network. FieldVibe documents an offline mode but describes it as read-only. Logged writes locally first and syncs when you're back on signal.
Flat, predictable Pro pricing
Logged Pro is $9.99/mo flat — unlimited jobs, customers, estimates, photo cloud backup, email send, reports. FieldVibe's Solo Pro is $20/mo and the meaningful team features sit behind the $50/mo Crews tier.
Where FieldVibe wins
Real scheduling, not just a date field
FieldVibe is built around a calendar. You can see your week, drag visits, set recurrences. Logged has a single scheduled date field per job that fires a local reminder — no calendar view, no dispatch board.
Automated text reminders to clients
FieldVibe sends SMS reminders to customers before their appointment and reports a meaningful reduction in no-shows. Logged does not send SMS at all — it only sends email and pushes you, the contractor.
Team / multi-staff support
FieldVibe's Crews tier lets you add staff with their own logins, assign jobs, and track visit status across the team. Logged is single-operator by design and has no team features on the roadmap.
Time tracking and Google Calendar sync
FieldVibe tracks time per visit and pushes your schedule into Google Calendar. Logged does neither.
