Our verdict on ArbM8

ArbM8 is tree-care management software built on the ServiceM8 field-service platform. It is designed for arboricultural businesses that need quoting, crew scheduling, job diaries, client history, GPS and staff location tracking, on-site invoicing, online payments, risk assessments, method statements, incident reporting, completion certificates, asset management and tree-preservation management. Its web, iOS, Android and API coverage suits teams that coordinate office work with field crews, particularly businesses that place safety documentation at the center of daily operations.

According to the vendor’s published plans, pricing is structured as one-time implementation packages, with a separate monthly ServiceM8 subscription. Set-Up Only costs £720 and includes account creation, staff and team setup, one quote template and one invoice template. Intermediate costs £1,116 and adds an initial consultation, risk-assessment forms for estimators and crews, job templates, email inbox setup and an online booking form. Advanced costs £1,440 and adds contracting and consultancy quote and invoice templates, risk-assessment and method-statement forms, incident reporting, job completion and rigging forms, plus QuickBooks Online integration if applicable. A 14-day free trial is listed, but the published package prices exclude the monthly subscription.

The standout area is the breadth of safety and operational records in one workflow. Risk assessments, method statements, incident reports, completion certificates, assets and equipment can sit alongside quotes, schedules, routes, payments and client history. Integrations with QuickBooks Online, Xero, MYOB, Zapier and Stripe extend its accounting, automation and payment fit, while the API supports broader platform connections. ArbM8 is a strong candidate for safety-focused arborist businesses that want specialized tree-service coverage and are prepared for implementation costs plus a recurring ServiceM8 subscription. Smaller operators seeking a low-cost, narrowly focused scheduling tool may prefer a simpler alternative.
