Which option is right for you?
Choose a basic calendar if...
You mainly need appointments, reminders and the ability to see your day or week.
Choose CalPix if...
Your appointments are actually jobs, and you want the details, photos, paperwork, history and team organised around them.
Choose a full FSM if...
You need sales pipelines, lead management, advanced reporting, accounting integrations, workflow automation and broader business management.
More organised than a calendar.
Simpler than a FSM.
CalPix keeps your jobs, customers, photos, paperwork and team organised
— without turning your working day into admin.
