BidTorch vs FieldEdge

FieldEdge is built around QuickBooks and the dispatcher. BidTorch is built around the quote.

FieldEdge leads with QuickBooks sync, dispatching and service agreements, sells by request with mobile licenses capped per tier, and does not offer a trial. BidTorch leads with the quote — good/better/best on every plan — and prints its price.

Where FieldEdge wins

Credit where it's due.

An honest comparison names the other side's strengths. Here's where FieldEdge is genuinely ahead:

QuickBooks-first design

FieldEdge's headline is eliminating double entry with automated QuickBooks syncing between field and office. BidTorch's QuickBooks integration is invoice push plus payment reconcile, not a full two-way sync.

Dispatching and service agreements

Dispatching on the entry tier, advanced dispatching and advanced service agreements above it, plus a pricebook with flat-rate pricing. BidTorch has maintenance plans and a calendar, not a dispatch board.

Guided onboarding

An onboarding specialist is included on every FieldEdge plan, which is the reason their FAQ gives for not offering a trial.

Where BidTorch wins

Built for the crew, priced for the crew.

A published price and a trial

Solo $89, Team $149, Crew $249 on the pricing page; 14 days free, no card. FieldEdge shows Request Pricing on all three tiers and offers no free trial, as of 2026-09-19.

Good/better/best on every plan

Multi-option quotes are on FieldEdge's Premier tier and above; Select is single-option. Every BidTorch plan does good/better/best with a Recommended pick and a scope box per option.

No per-license cap

FieldEdge includes 2, 4 or 6 mobile app licenses per tier. BidTorch seats are seats — 2, 5 or 10 — and every seat runs the full app on web, iPhone and Android.

AI follow-up, included

When a quote goes quiet, BidTorch's AI writes the follow-up from that quote's facts, on every plan. FieldEdge's pricing page lists no AI feature.

Webhooks on every plan

Every quote, job, invoice and lead event fires a webhook. On FieldEdge, integrations beyond QuickBooks go through add-ons like MarketingEdge and Proposal Pro, unpriced.

What we compared

Everything on this page about FieldEdge comes from its own pricing page: plans, seat model, trial terms, payment rates and the features it lists per tier. We have not verified FieldEdge feature by feature, so there is no checkmark table here — a guessed one would be worse than none. For the three platforms we track monthly, see the public scorecard.

Questions

Asked by shops comparing the two.

How much does FieldEdge cost?

FieldEdge does not publish prices. As of 2026-09-19 its pricing page shows Select, Premier and Elite with Request Pricing on each, and its FAQ says the price varies with how many technicians you have. BidTorch is $89, $149 or $249 a month, flat.

Does FieldEdge have a free trial?

No. Its FAQ says it does not offer one because new members do best when the FieldEdge team walks them through setup. BidTorch's trial is 14 days with no credit card.

Is BidTorch a FieldEdge alternative for a small shop?

For a two-to-ten person shop that wants multi-option quoting, jobs and invoicing at a published flat price, yes. If QuickBooks two-way sync, dispatching and deep service agreements are the reason you are shopping, FieldEdge is built for exactly that and BidTorch is not.
