✅ Recommendation for Your Use Case:
If you’re aiming to sell MSP services online with built-in quoting/SoW and minimal tool sprawl:
- SuperOps is the only PSA/RMM here with native SoW + approvals.
- Pax8 is a great add-on for cloud service quoting and bundling, especially if integrated with SuperOps or another PSA.
- A combo like SuperOps + Pax8 gives you best of both worlds: Service quoting + cloud reselling.
