FieldOpt review
A flexible dispatch console with open-source control and paid cloud options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FieldOpt is an open-source field service management console for dispatchers and field service companies. It combines automatic job routing, technician assignment, skill-based matching, workload and capacity management, geographic routing, interactive maps, technician timelines, advanced search, and batch dispatch operations. Teams can access it through the web or API, or run the software themselves. Its positioning suits organizations that want control over dispatch logic and deployment rather than a narrowly defined scheduling tool.
The published plans show a free Community tier with self-hosting, full features, AGPL-3.0 licensing, and a GitHub community. Starter costs $99 per month and adds managed cloud hosting, priority email support, custom branding, and API access. Pro costs $399 per month and adds ML autodrip dispatch, custom integrations, and dedicated support alongside Starter features. Enterprise includes everything in Pro plus unlimited technicians, on-premise deployment, custom development, and SLA guarantees. This structure gives teams a path from self-managed software to managed hosting and enterprise deployment.
FieldOpt’s standout strength is the breadth of its dispatch workflow: geographic management areas and distance can inform routing, while drag-and-drop assignment, maps, timelines, and batch actions support daily operational control. The ML-powered dispatch strategy is available as a higher-tier capability rather than the foundation of every plan. Teams that need open deployment options, configurable assignment logic, or self-hosted full features should consider FieldOpt. Organizations that require verified integrations or current technician mobile coverage should compare alternatives before choosing it.
