Outdated UI, pricey plans, longing for white label but not wanting to spurge on the Enterprise<\/em> plan, or poor branding possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever it is that got you searching for Service Provider Pro alternatives<\/strong>, you can take a deep breath, there are other options. And before you go and book a rage room, check out our article analyzing 3 SPP alternatives in terms of features, prices, ease of use, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ManyRequests: <\/strong>ManyRequests is the most similar to SPP option, it even seems like its long-lost brother. However, this software is a bit more limited when it comes to its features, while the price is the same as SPP\u2019s. ManyRequests is better than SPP only when it comes to UI with more modern designs, more white label options in the Basic<\/em> and Pro<\/em> plans, and with their valuable productized community on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zendo: <\/strong>Zendo came out to be the best option of all the three SPP alternatives, because of its service selling features, quotes and invoices, multifunctional chat that lets you get in touch with your clients, a modern UI, and the fact that its Starter Plan is completely free for up to two agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copilot: <\/strong>Copilot is the most simple option out of all the tested software, but our experience with it turned out to be rather bad. The tool was a bit slow and froze a few times. They do offer invoice creation that helps with selling services online, but they impose additional fees. On the positive note, they offer a simple client portal, messages with clients, and a nice help center builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In-Depth Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the purpose of this article, we\u2019ve came up with a fake content creation agency<\/a> named Scribere<\/em> that we\u2019ll be using to systemize the testing of each tool and properly compare the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get testing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative #1: ManyRequests<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Service<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first tool we want to suggest as an SPP alternative is the one that\u2019s the most similar to it, namely ManyRequests<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ManyRequests already had a few appearances on our blog, including in an article comparing 3 productized service software<\/a>. In that comparison, this software lost the battle with SPP, mainly because it\u2019s the exact same cost, but the features are more limited and the tool is overall less intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let\u2019s give it one more chance and see how positively different it can be from SPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, if you haven\u2019t come across ManyRequests just yet, it\u2019s a client portal software created in 2019, with the most prominent aspect of their brand being their productization group on Facebook. The community amounts to 6.5 thousand members sharing their thoughts on productization and ManyRequests as a tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ManyRequests in a nutshell is very similar to SPP. In that, its main features include one-off and recurring service creation, order form creation with a drag and drop builder, requests management, client management, and invoices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best For: Those Looking For A Better-Looking SPP Stunt Double<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

ManyRequests truly seems like Service Provider Pro\u2019s long-lost brother. But that brother didn\u2019t venture out for a year of soul-searching solo-travel through Asia to become a better person, he just went to different stylists and hairdressers to get a better look than SPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apologies for the lengthy metaphor, but that\u2019s basically the main difference between SPP and ManyRequests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you\u2019re longing for a more modern UI, then ManyRequests should be your choice for the exact same price as SPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If more modern UI is not enough, ManyRequests will also give you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
