Data based on publicly available product information as of May 2026. FieldEdge pricing sourced from industry reports and review sites; exact pricing varies by company size and requires a custom quote. FieldEdge onboarding costs typically $500–2,000 per published reviews. WellRun pricing is $99/mo flat, publicly listed at wellrun.polsia.app/pricing.
FieldEdge charges per user per month — $100 for office users, $125 for field technicians. A dispatcher plus 4 field techs costs around $500–600/month before onboarding, setup fees, or add-ons. A 10-person team runs $1,000–1,250/month. Add the mandatory $500–2,000 implementation fee and required 5-week onboarding, and you're looking at $2,500–5,000 in year-one costs just to get started.
The per-user model means every time you hire another tech or add an office dispatcher, your software bill goes up. For oilfield operators who grow seasonally or add crews for specific projects, that's real budget exposure.
WellRun is $99/month — flat. Add 5 techs or 25 techs, the price doesn't move. No implementation fee. No 5-week onboarding program. You're taking live dispatches the same day you sign up. Use our dispatch cost calculator to see exactly what your operation costs today vs. WellRun.
FieldEdge's dispatch board was designed for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service companies — technicians with appointment windows, flat-rate pricing books, and QuickBooks sync for residential billing. It's good at what it does. The problem is that oilfield field service isn't residential service.
When you're dispatching crews to a well site, you're not scheduling a 2-hour HVAC appointment. You're assigning specific personnel based on H2S certifications, tracking rig-up and rig-down sequences, managing hitch schedules for crews on 14/14 or 21/7 rotations, and ensuring every crew member has current safety documentation before they reach the site.
FieldEdge's drag-and-drop dispatch has no concept of H2S certs, no oilfield rotation scheduling, and no JSA workflow. WellRun's AI dispatch engine was built from the ground up for oilfield operations. See how WellRun works for the full walkthrough — then read our guide on how to choose oilfield dispatch software.
FieldEdge handles service agreement management, equipment history, and warranty tracking — all relevant for HVAC maintenance contracts. For an oilfield field service company, those features don't move the needle. What matters at the well site is H2S certification currency, JSA completion before work begins, and documented compliance photos that hold up to an operator audit.
WellRun tracks H2S certification per crew member and blocks dispatch if a cert is expired or within 30 days of expiry — the crew member gets flagged before the job is assigned, not after the crew is already at the gate. JSA checklists are auto-generated from job type, completed by the crew before work begins, and stored per job. Compliance photos are captured at job close. The documentation audit trail is built into the workflow, not added after the fact.
This isn't a feature gap that FieldEdge will fill — it's a domain difference. FieldEdge doesn't know what H2S means in an oilfield context because it wasn't built for that domain. WellRun was. Read more: DOT compliance in oilfield dispatch and 5 signs your oilfield dispatch needs AI.
FieldEdge is a solid platform for HVAC contractors. It wasn't built for oilfield crew dispatch, H2S compliance, or rig-up/rig-down scheduling. WellRun was. At $99/mo flat vs. $100–125/user, the pricing difference is obvious. The oilfield fit is the real reason to switch.
