Taskly vs ServiceM8

All features on every device. Modern UI. Built for NZ.

ServiceM8's full app is iOS only — Android users get a cut-down Companion (Lite) app with reduced features. Taskly runs the same modern, intuitive experience on iOS, Android and the web. Built on a modern stack, NZ-native, no legacy baggage.
