Knock.io is a solid canvassing platform that leans solar. FieldStacker runs the same street — and the rep's money too — across solar, pest, roofing, fiber and alarms, on flat self-serve pricing.
Flat month-to-month from $25/mo · 30-day free trial · no seat minimums, no annual contract
Knock.io and FieldStacker overlap on the core of the job: getting fresh doors onto a map, tagging every knock, keeping a crew off each other's streets, and running a leaderboard to push the numbers. Where they part ways is scope and audience. Knock.io is built and sold to solar teams the enterprise way — request a demo, get a per-seat quote. FieldStacker is built for the solo 1099 rep first, in any vertical, and it keeps going past the appointment to handle the part every other canvassing app hands back to a spreadsheet: your money.
Fair and specific. Both are capable canvassing tools — here is where the lines actually differ.
| What matters on the street | FieldStacker | Knock.io |
|---|---|---|
| Industries it's built for | Every vertical — solar, pest, roofing, fiber, alarms & more | Capable, but leans solar |
| Fresh-lead knock map | Yes — recently-sold & new-mover leads | Yes |
| Custom color-coded dispositions | Yes | Yes |
| Territories (trace & assign) | Yes | Yes |
| Live GPS team knocks (no double-knock) | Yes | Yes |
| Leaderboard, tiers, badges, streaks | Yes | Yes |
| AI objection coaching | Yes | No |
| Free digital business card | Yes — included | No |
| Real per-deal commission tracking | Yes | Spreadsheet |
| Chargebacks & clawbacks that net out | Yes | Spreadsheet |
| Auto-mileage at the IRS rate | Yes | No |
| Quarterly 1099 tax set-aside | Yes | No |
| Built for the solo 1099 rep | Yes — scales to crews | Team-first |
| Pricing model | Flat, published, from $25/mo | Quote-based — request a demo |
| Free trial, no credit card | Yes — 30 days | Demo / contact sales |
| Seat minimums & annual contract | None | Team-oriented — check their site |

An honest split — the right tool depends on how you sell.
You're a solar-only operation that wants an established, solar-tuned enterprise canvassing platform, you're buying for a bigger team, and a per-seat quote with a sales conversation is no obstacle. It's a capable tool for that lane.
You want to start today without a demo, you sell more than solar (or might), you're a 1099 rep who wants your commission, chargebacks, mileage and taxes handled, and you'd rather pay a flat published price with no seat minimum. Built solo-first, scales to the whole crew.
This is the clearest line between the two. Knock.io stops at the canvassing data and hands your commission math back to a spreadsheet. FieldStacker keeps your financials in the same app you already knock in:
A knock map, dispositions and territories don't care what's on the other side of the door. FieldStacker is vertical-agnostic, so you can canvass pest control in the morning and roofing in the afternoon on the same account. If you also sell alarms, the alarm-native experience is powered by SecurityQS on the same backend.

Yes, for the same core job. FieldStacker gives you a fresh-lead knock map, color-coded custom dispositions, traced-and-assigned territories, live GPS team knocks and a sales leaderboard — the canvassing spine Knock.io reps rely on. The two big differences: FieldStacker is built for every door-to-door industry rather than leaning solar, and it folds the rep's own money (commission, chargebacks, mileage, 1099 taxes) into the same app instead of leaving it to a spreadsheet.
Knock.io is a strong canvassing platform, but its product and messaging lean heavily toward solar teams. It can be used for other verticals, yet solar is clearly where it is aimed. FieldStacker is vertical-agnostic by design — turn on solar, pest control, roofing, fiber, alarms or several at once and work them all from one login. If you only sell solar, both fit; if you sell more than solar or expect to, the multi-industry base matters.
Knock.io is sold the enterprise way — you request a demo and get a quote, typically per seat and oriented to teams, so the real number depends on your headcount and contract (check their site for current pricing). FieldStacker publishes a flat price: month-to-month from $25/mo, a 30-day free trial with no credit card, no seat minimums and no annual contract. A solo rep can sign up and start working a block the same afternoon without talking to sales.
Yes, and this is the piece most canvassing apps skip. Log a deal and see your real per-deal commission, net out chargebacks and clawbacks, capture auto-mileage at the IRS rate for every driving day, and watch a quarterly tax set-aside build so April is not a surprise. It is industry-agnostic, so it works the same whether you knock solar, pest, roofing or alarms.
That is exactly what the "stacker" is for. Plenty of reps knock solar and alarms, or pest and roofing, on the same streets. Turn on the industries you actually sell and work them from one map, one set of stats and one bill. The alarm side is powered by SecurityQS, our alarm-native product, on the same backend, so nothing you sell lives in two places.
Yes — a full 30-day free trial with no credit card. You can load fresh doors, run dispositions, invite a crew and test the financials before you decide, and you can cancel any time because it is month-to-month. There is no demo-and-quote gate and no annual commitment to escape from.
Start a 30-day free trial — no credit card — and work your first block this afternoon. Flat month-to-month, cancel anytime.
