Comparisons

The comparisons here cover the three platforms most small and mid-size home service shops shortlist: ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro and Jobber. We also cover the open-source options and how software needs change between a startup and an enterprise. We do not declare one winner for everyone. The better choice usually depends on how many technicians you run, whether you sell recurring maintenance agreements, and how much setup and training time your office can spare.

To compare fairly, read each article with three questions in mind. First, what does the plan you would actually need cost, once add-on users and extra modules are included? Second, which features do you use every day, such as scheduling, dispatch, quoting, invoicing and payments, and which are nice to have? Third, how hard is it to leave? Check whether you can export customer and job history before you commit. Vendor prices in these articles come from the vendor pricing pages and carry a last-checked date, so confirm the current figure before you buy.
