Pricing comparison
Use the vendor's current offer for the user count, billing term and add-ons you need. Promotional or annual prices are not directly comparable with a month-to-month price.
Jobber: Public USD prices read November 5, 2026, billed monthly with no commitment (a one-year commitment costs less):
- Core: $49 a month; one user.
- Connect: $139 a month for one user, up to $399 a month for 15 users.
- Grow: $199 a month for one user, up to $499 a month for 15 users.
- Plus: $499 a month for five users, up to $699 a month for 15 users.
The page lists $29 a month for each added user. Ask whether the follow-up and integration you need are part of the specific plan.
ServiceTitan: The pricing page checked November 3, 2026 describes per-technician pricing and asks buyers to request a price for Starter, Essentials or The Works. Get the implementation, modules, payment terms and cancellation conditions in the written proposal; do not infer a universal contract length.
Housecall Pro: Public USD prices checked November 3, 2026:
- Basic: $79 a month billed monthly, or $59 a month billed annually; one user.
- Essentials: $189 a month billed monthly, or $149 a month billed annually; five users.
- Max: $329 a month billed monthly, or $299 a month billed annually; eight users. The page lists $35 a month for an additional user on Max.
Check add-ons, payment-processing fees, usage and taxes separately. Housecall Pro lists route optimization, recurring service plans and API access under Max; ordinary route features appear under Essentials. Confirm your required feature before assuming the entry plan includes it.
Feature comparison
Use this as a demo checklist, not an unsupported winner table:
| Workflow | What to demonstrate |
|---|---|
| Inquiry to quote | Intake fields, duplicate handling, estimate creation and customer approval |
| Scheduling and dispatch | Crew availability, travel, access notes and rescheduling |
| Recurring work | Visit generation, pricing changes, pauses and cancellation |
| Payment | Deposits where appropriate, invoice collection, refunds and reconciliation |
| Follow-up | Trigger, timing, reply detection, opt-out and human handoff |
| Reporting | Source attribution, job costs, completed revenue and exports |
| Integrations | Exact plan access, supported data, errors and support responsibility |
A feature being advertised does not prove it fits your process. Test the important edge cases on the plan you would actually buy.
Industry / trade fit
Bring examples from your own trade: recurring lawn visits, a multi-day installation, an emergency callout or a commercial property account. Each has different scheduling, quoting and billing needs.
Do not choose solely from a revenue band or a broad trade label. A small team with complex work may need different tools from a larger team doing repeatable visits.
Where Jobber wins
Jobber shows its prices before any sales call: $49 a month for a one-user Core plan, and public plans up to 15 users. Consider it if its plan and field workflow fit your quoting, scheduling and customer-management needs. In a trial or demo:
- Create a real-shaped estimate and send it to a test customer.
- Schedule the work, including travel and access notes.
- Have a field user complete the job on their phone.
- Check the invoice, accounting export and any follow-up.
Compare the time and corrections needed with your current process, and time how long setup takes for your team.
Where ServiceTitan wins
ServiceTitan sells per technician, in Starter, Essentials and The Works tiers, with a guided implementation. Its pricing page advertises dispatching, scheduling, call booking, invoicing, mobile estimates and reporting. Consider it when a multi-crew team needs those modules and the setup help.
Ask the demo to cover multi-crew scheduling, a job-cost report, the modules you need and the migration plan. Get the full proposal before judging value.
Where Housecall Pro wins
Housecall Pro publishes its prices, from $79 a month for one user to $329 a month for eight, with lower prices billed annually. Consider it when its plan supports the booking, customer messaging, payment and field workflows you need. API access, route optimization and recurring service plans are listed under Max, so check which plan has the feature you need.
Run the same sample job used in the other demos. Compare workflow fit, full cost and the training your team would need.
Implementation + onboarding
Agree on a migration plan with whichever vendor you choose:
- Export customers, jobs, invoices, notes and attachments from the existing system.
- Map fields and test a small import before moving all records.
- Reconcile totals and sample records, including dates and recurring schedules.
- Train the people doing dispatch, field work and billing.
- Define the cutover, backup and rollback plan.
Timeline and support depend on the data and scope. Find out what cannot be migrated before signing.
Decision framework
- List the workflows that must work on day one.
- Separate required features from optional ones.
- Confirm the exact plan, users, add-ons and implementation cost.
- Run the same realistic demo in the shortlisted tools.
- Check export, support, billing and cancellation terms.
- Choose the option your team can operate and sustain.
Compare annual cost with a conservative estimate of useful time saved and problems resolved. Do not treat a vendor's marketing ROI claim as your forecast.
FAQ
Can I switch CRMs later? Yes, but moving data and retraining your team takes time, so pick carefully the first time. Confirm what transfers and what does not before you switch.
Should I trial all three? Shortlist the products that meet your requirements, then request the currently available trial or demo. Use the same sample work and include the staff who will use it.
What integrations matter most? QuickBooks (accounting), Stripe (if not using built-in payments), Google Calendar, Mailchimp/ActiveCampaign (if you do email marketing separately), Twilio (if you handle phone routing).
Should my agency have access? Yes for lead routing + attribution + customer-match remarketing. Your agency should INTEGRATE with your CRM, not REPLACE it.
Does my website integrate? Confirm the exact form or booking integration, plan access and data flow before promising it. Test submission, updates, duplicates and errors in the proposed setup.
Is ServiceTitan worth the price? Compare the written proposal with the value of the workflows you need.
Picking the right CRM is one piece of the marketing stack. Our website design service ships custom sites at $2,499 one time, or $297 a month built around your services and quote requests. CRM integrations and follow-up workflows are scoped separately through our sales system. Or book a free strategy call.
Whichever one you pick, it waits for the lead to already be yours. Software does not replace a clear acquisition plan and someone accountable for follow-up. If the problem you actually have is leads going cold while you are on a roof, that is a sales system, built for you rather than bought off a shelf. Or book a free strategy call.
