Alternatives to the software you are on
Written for the person who has already decided to leave, and now has to work out what leaving costs.
A comparison page is for somebody choosing. These pages are for somebody leaving. That is a different question and it has a different shape: you already know what you hate about the thing you are on, and what you need to know is what breaks on the way out, what you will miss in month two that you did not think about in week one, and whether the thing you are moving to is actually the thing that fixes it.
So each page here leads with the exit, not with the pitch. It says what a mechanic typically leaves that product for, what the move costs in time and in lost history, what the new thing has to be able to do before you can cancel the old one, and what you should keep hold of even after the account closes.
And each page names products other than Fixty where they fit better. If you are leaving a product because you outgrew it, the honest answer is often the bigger product, not the smaller one, and a page that cannot say that is a page you cannot trust on anything else.

Do this before you cancel anything
Get your data out first, while the account is still open and still paid. Customer names and phone numbers, the vehicles attached to them, the history of what you did and what you charged. Once a subscription lapses, the polite version of that request becomes a support ticket and the impolite version becomes impossible.
Then run the two systems side by side for one cycle. Not because the new one might fail, but because the old one is holding things you have forgotten it holds: the recurring customer who books every March, the note about which gate code works, the price you agreed with the fleet guy two years ago. A month of overlap costs one month of subscription and saves the six phone calls where you have to ask a customer to remind you.
Only then cancel, and read the cancellation terms before you click rather than after. Some products bill an annual term to the end of the term whatever month you leave in.
When the answer is not Fixty
Fixty is one mechanic, one workspace, run from a phone. If you have a second technician on payroll, a counter somebody stands behind, or a shelf of stock you need to count, Fixty is the wrong direction and the alternatives pages say which products are the right one.
The same goes for parts inventory, accounting sync and route optimization. Fixty does not do those things, and if one of them is why you are leaving, moving to Fixty would be leaving for the same reason twice.
What Fixty is genuinely good at is the driveway: an estimate the customer approves line by line from a text message, photos that show why the work is needed, a card taken on the spot, and a schedule that assumes you are driving between jobs rather than standing in a shop. If that is the part that is broken where you are now, that is the part these pages will tell you we fix.
What is on the site today
Fixty is a CRM for one mobile mechanic. Estimates a customer approves by text, photo inspections, scheduling and card payments, all from a phone.
