This site compares what field service software costs a contractor running 5–30 technicians. Everything below describes how that comparison is produced, including the parts that are weaker than a reader might assume.
Who publishes it
Publisher and editor: THE FAR EYE, SL, a company constituted under Spanish law. The full identity statement, including the registered office and the tax number, is on the legal notice, because that is where the law expects to find it and a reader should not have to guess which page it is on.
This site is not a software vendor, a reseller, a broker, a consultancy or a lead-generation business, and it is not affiliated with Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceTitan, Workiz or any other company named on it. No employee, editor, reviewer or advisory board exists here, and none is claimed.
Why no page carries a byline
No byline appears on any page. The corpus is authored by the publishing organisation, which is what the JSON-LD says. There is nobody to name and nobody may be invented. A byline exists to tell a reader whose judgement they are relying on. Attaching an invented name to a page about what software will cost a contractor would be a lie about exactly the thing the page asks to be trusted on. The pages carry vendor sources and read dates instead, which is what a reader can actually check.
Google’s own guidance for creators asks whether it is self-evident to visitors who authored the content. This site cannot answer that with a name. It answers it by saying plainly that there is no author to name, and by making every figure traceable to the vendor page it came from. That is honest, and it is not the same as satisfying the question — the difference is recorded here rather than smoothed over.
How the pages are made
Every page here is drafted with AI assistance and then checked against the vendor pages it cites, which are read at source and dated. Google’s guidance asks whether the use of automation is self-evident to visitors through disclosures or in other ways; this paragraph exists so that it is. It changes nothing about the standard the pages are held to: a figure with no published source does not get printed, whoever or whatever typed it. The editorial policy sets out the rules that standard is made of.
What this site has not done
This site has not operated, deployed, migrated or trialled any of the software it compares, and does not claim to have. There is no test bench here, no case study, no customer, no field test and no interview. Google’s helpful-content guidance asks a publisher to demonstrate how content was produced — how many products were tested, what the results were, how the tests were conducted. The honest answer here is none, none, and not at all, and saying so is better than manufacturing an answer that sounds better.
What the site does instead is narrower and checkable: it reads what each vendor publishes, on the date shown, and refuses to print anything else. A vendor that does not publish a price is marked quote-gated rather than assigned an estimate, and that distinction survives everywhere it appears — because “we could not obtain this” and “this does not exist” are different facts.
How it is funded
Today: it is not. There is no advertising on this site, no ad account, no publisher identifier, and no ad request is made. No affiliate relationship is active and none has been applied for. There is no third-party analytics product and no request to any other company’s server. The publisher intends the site to earn its keep eventually; when that changes, the advertising and affiliate disclosure and the privacy notice change in the same commit, and this paragraph stops saying “no”.
What is in scope
The corpus covers the United States and Canada. It does not cover markets it has not read prices for, and it does not quietly extend its claims to them. Where a Canadian figure has not been separately researched, that is recorded as a gap rather than presented as coverage.
Affiliate disclosure. Pages on this site may carry affiliate links. If one does, and you sign up through it, this site may be paid a referral fee by the vendor. It costs you nothing and does not change what is written — every price here comes from the vendor’s own published page either way. Disclosure is made under the US Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides, 16 CFR Part 255, as revised June 2023. No affiliate relationship is currently active and no affiliate link appears anywhere on this site.
