What Actually Syncs to QuickBooks?

FieldPulse has better QBO integration than some competitors, but it still falls short of what BDB delivers for field-captured expenses.

Pricing Requires a Sales Call

FieldPulse does not publish pricing. You need a custom quote, which means you cannot compare costs until you sit through a sales demo. Add-on costs often exceed expectations per user reports.

QBO Sync: Purchase Orders Only

FieldPulse now lets you snap a receipt on your phone and attach it to an expense, then sync POs and expenses to QuickBooks. The receipt photo gets attached, but every field on the expense — vendor, amount, category, cost code, job allocation — is still manual. There is no AI transcription, no email receipt ingestion, no multi-job splitting. BDB captures the photo OR a voice memo OR a forwarded email receipt, runs AI to fill the fields, and lets you split one receipt across multiple jobs.

No AI Features

No AI receipt transcription. No AI photo classification. No voice-to-estimate. Every data entry point requires manual input from your crew or office staff.

No CFO Dashboard or Financial Education

FieldPulse has no progressive financial education system, no CFO dashboard, and no bookkeeper or fractional CFO services. You get reports, but no guidance on what the numbers mean.

BDB: Full Receipt-to-Books Pipeline

BDB syncs field-captured receipts to QuickBooks as Purchase expenses with vendor, account, category, and job mapping. AI transcribes, categorizes, and assigns every transaction automatically.

BDB: Transparent Pricing, Always

$69/mo for 20 users. All features included. No sales call required. No contract. The price is on the website because you deserve to know what something costs before you commit time to a demo.

Slide to see your cost

*Contractor Foreman: Standard plan ($49/mo) does not include QuickBooks integration, API access, or custom reports. QBO integration requires Plus ($87/mo) or higher.

*FieldPulse: Pricing is not published — sales call required for a quote.

*Jobber, Housecall Pro, Contractor Foreman: All three advertise annual prepay as the headline rate. Month-to-month billing (where offered) is 20–90% higher.

*ServiceTitan: 12-month minimum contract from day one.

BDB: Same price whether you pay monthly or annually. No annual prepay required, no contracts.

Why Switch From FieldPulse to BDB?

If you're evaluating FieldPulse or already using it, here is what BDB brings that you won't find there.

You Know What You're Paying

No sales call required. No custom quote. No add-on surprises. $69/mo for 20 users, all features included. The price is on the website because that is how pricing should work.

No Add-On Cost Surprises

FieldPulse users report add-on costs that exceed expectations. BDB has one plan: everything included. No modules to unlock, no premium tiers, no per-feature charges.

AI Does the Manual Work

AI receipt transcription, photo classification into 25+ categories, and voice-to-estimate. FieldPulse has none of these. Less manual entry means more time in the field.

CFO Dashboard and Marketing ROI

Live KPIs, job profitability gauges, and a marketing effectiveness dashboard that tracks cost per lead and ROI by source. FieldPulse offers reports. BDB offers decisions.

Deepest QBO Integration Available

Receipts, estimates, invoices, customers, and items all sync to QuickBooks Online with proper vendor, account, and category mapping. FieldPulse syncs purchase orders. BDB syncs everything.

Bookkeeping and CFO Services Available

Need help with the books? BDB offers bookkeeping starting at $495/mo and fractional CFO services at $1,500/mo — with all software included. FieldPulse is software only.

Cost Pools — Bulk Supplies, Allocated Right

Buy bulk supplies once, allocate to every job that used them. FieldPulse forces one receipt to one job.

Segment Performance — Side-by-Side P&L

Side-by-side P&L by location, division, or service line. FieldPulse doesn't have this dashboard view.

Subcontractors as a 3rd Cost Bucket

Subcontractor cost tracking as a 3rd bucket on every estimate and dashboard. FieldPulse lumps subs into other costs, distorting margins on sub-heavy jobs.
