Competitor comparison · all vendor facts checked 5 August 2026
ServiceTitan vs Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldEdge and Service Fusion
ServiceTitan is the largest platform in residential field service, and it does not publish a price. That single fact shapes most of these comparisons. Below, ServiceTitan is set against the four platforms it is most often weighed against, using only figures each vendor prints on its own pricing page.
The short answer
If you are under about thirty people, ServiceTitan is not built for you and Opsler is. You can read Opsler’s price right now — $25 a seat, everything included — start on a free plan today and be dispatching this week. ServiceTitan quotes per technician behind a sales call, runs an implementation project before you dispatch anything, and offers no trial to find out first.
The rest of the field, monthly and published: Housecall Pro is $79 for a single user and $299 once a second person needs a login, with 14 days and no card. Jobber runs $49 solo to $599 at ten people, re-priced by the team-size band you pick before the plans even render. FieldEdge is the one comparison where neither side publishes anything, so both are demo-first. Service Fusion charges a flat rate for unlimited users but has moved its numbers behind a demo call too.
Opsler is on this page and it is our product — disclosed here rather than buried. It is held to the same criteria as everyone else, including a section below on the businesses ServiceTitan genuinely serves better.
Published pricing, side by side
Three of these six platforms publish a price you can read without speaking to anyone. Three do not. That is the first thing worth knowing, because it decides how long your evaluation takes — and a quoted price is one somebody sets for you individually, after working out what you will pay.
| Platform | Entry price | Seat model | Trial | Price published? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ServiceTitan | Request Pricing | Quoted per technician | None offered | No |
| Housecall Pro | $79/mo solo · $299/mo for a team of five | A Teams/Individual switch re-prices every plan: 1 user, or 5 on Essentials and 8 on Max | 14 days, no card | Yes |
| Jobber | $199/mo at 2-5 people, $299/mo at 6-10 (Connect, monthly) | Set by a team-size band chosen before the plans render, not by the tier | 14 days, no card | Yes |
| FieldEdge | Request Pricing | Not stated publicly | None — stated explicitly | No |
| Service Fusion | Quote only | Unlimited on every plan | None offered | No |
| Opsler | $25/seat/mo | Buy exactly the seats you have | 14 days, no card | Yes |
Read from each vendor’s own pricing page — Housecall Pro on 6 August 2026, the rest on 5 August 2026. All figures monthly with no commitment. Housecall Pro and Jobber both re-price behind a headcount control, so each is shown with the team size it belongs to.
Why a small contractor should look at Opsler first
ServiceTitan is the most capable platform in this category and it is not a close contest at the top of the market. But most people who land on a ServiceTitan comparison are running two to thirty people, and for them the platform’s strengths arrive attached to costs that do not scale down.
You can know the price today, not after a call
Opsler is $25 per seat per month with no seat minimum, a free plan for two seats that does not expire, and a 14-day trial that takes no card. You can budget your first year this afternoon. ServiceTitan publishes nothing — Starter, Essentials and The Works all say Request Pricing — so the equivalent number takes a discovery call and a proposal.
Live this week, not after an implementation
Opsler ships 11 trade presets. Pick HVAC and the account already talks about service calls and maintenance agreements with the common job types loaded; pick pest control and it talks about treatments and follow-ups. Import your customers, add your team, dispatch. ServiceTitan is deliberately a configuration project with onboarding attached, which is the right call at 50 technicians and a heavy lift at six.
One plan, nothing gated, nothing quoted separately
ServiceTitan sells Pro products alongside the packages, and which capability sits in which package is a question for your quote. Opsler has one plan with no tier above it: route optimisation, the offline technician app, Good-Better-Best estimates, warranty tracking, van-level inventory, the customer portal and reporting are all simply included. Nothing to unlock, nothing to renegotiate at renewal.
No contract term, and 0% of your payments
Opsler is month to month, and it is not a payment processor — you present your own payment link and keep your existing rates, with no platform fee taken from what you collect. There is also a one-off lifetime option covering five seats for $499 if you would rather not carry another subscription at all.
And the honest boundary: if you run multiple departments, need commission and payroll handled inside the platform, or have an office team large enough to administer it, ServiceTitan does things this product deliberately leaves alone. That case is made properly below rather than waved away.
How this comparison was put together
Most comparison pages in this category are written by one of the vendors and read like it. This one is written by Opsler, which is also on the list. So here is the method, and you can check it.
- Prices come from the vendor, not from us. Every figure was read from the platform’s own pricing page on 5 August 2026. Where a vendor shows no price, this page says so rather than substituting an estimate.
- The same criteria apply to everyone, including us. Entry price, seat model, trial, and whether the price is published at all.
- No star ratings. Review averages are collected on different platforms, from different prompts, at different points in a product’s life — scoring six vendors against them would tell you less than the price table above. Where reviews matter to you, read them at the source.
- Opsler’s limits are stated in the same places as everyone else’s. Where a section would be incomplete without the boundary, the boundary is in it.
Feature depth changes faster than pricing. Anything below that is not a price was verified the same day, but treat a six-month-old comparison — including this one, later — as a starting point rather than a source.
Where Opsler draws the line
Worth saying early, because most pages like this one skip it. Three kinds of business should stay exactly where they are — ServiceTitan is genuinely built for them, and this page is not chasing them. Everything after this section is written for the other kind.
Multi-department operations. If you run install, service and maintenance as separate departments with their own dispatch boards, targets and margins, ServiceTitan is built around that shape. Smaller platforms model one queue of jobs and you will feel the ceiling quickly.
Teams running commission and configurable payroll in the same system. Commission tracking and configurable payroll are named on The Works package. If payroll has to be calculated inside the dispatch software rather than fed from it, that is the shape ServiceTitan is built for.
Businesses that already have the process to feed it. ServiceTitan rewards a business with a defined pricebook, real membership plans and someone whose job is to run reporting. Without those, the depth sits unused and you are paying for it.
The honest test: if you have thirty or more technicians, a dedicated office team and someone accountable for the numbers, ServiceTitan earns its quote. Under that, you are buying capacity you will not reach — and Opsler runs comfortably past fifty seats without one, at $25 each and no quote to sit through.
ServiceTitan vs Housecall Pro
This is the most common comparison in the category, and the two products are aimed at different businesses. Housecall Pro publishes its numbers behind a Teams/Individual switch: on Individual, Basic is $79 a month, Essentials $229 and Max $349, each covering a single user. Switch to Teams and Essentials becomes $299 with five users included, Max $649 with eight. Nothing is published above eight. ServiceTitan publishes Starter, Essentials and The Works, and prices none of them — each card carries a “Request Pricing” button and the page states the model is per technician.
What actually separates them
Time to a decision. With Housecall Pro you can read the price, start a 14-day trial without a card and know inside a fortnight whether it fits. With ServiceTitan the first step is a conversation, and there is no trial to fall back on. Neither approach is wrong — but if you are choosing between them while still running the business day to day, that difference is the whole thing.
Depth is the trade, and it is worth being precise about what you pay for it. ServiceTitan’s top package adds configurable payroll, commission tracking and advanced reporting, and a further row of Pro add-ons sits alongside the packages — none of which carries a published price either, so the real bill only appears at quote. Housecall Pro sells a smaller surface and is more finished within it.
On payments: Housecall Pro states card processing rates “as low as 2.59%” and a 1% fee on bank payments. Any platform that processes your payments takes a percentage. It is worth pricing that against your card volume, not just the subscription.
The dividing line is departments: below one, a published price and a real trial matter more than reporting depth; above it, ServiceTitan is doing something the smaller platforms do not attempt. Worth noting where that leaves a small residential team, though — five people is $299 a month on Housecall Pro and $125 on Opsler, both published, both startable this afternoon.
ServiceTitan vs Jobber
Jobber publishes prices, though from a team-size band rather than a fixed list. At 2-5 people on monthly billing Connect is $199, Grow $299 and Plus $499, each covering five users; at 6-10 they are $299, $399 and $599 covering ten. Annual billing is advertised as saving up to 25%. The trial is 14 days on the Grow plan with no card required. There is no free plan.
Against ServiceTitan’s unpublished per-technician quote, the contrast is the same one as with Housecall Pro. The catch is what happens at the first hire: Jobber’s $49 Core exists only at the solo band, so taking on one person withdraws it and the cheapest option becomes Connect at $199. Opsler’s second seat costs $25.
Which is better Jobber or ServiceTitan?
They are not really competing for the same buyer. Jobber is designed to be bought without a sales call and suits owner-operators and crews up to roughly ten people. ServiceTitan is designed to be implemented, and suits businesses with the headcount to justify implementation. The question answers itself once you know which of those you are.
The middle is where it gets expensive quietly — eight to fifteen technicians, growing. Jobber’s bands step up in $100 jumps whether or not you filled the last one, and ServiceTitan is still asking you to book a demo. That is precisely the range Opsler was priced for: ten people is $250 a month against Jobber’s $299, fifteen is $375, and the number moves one seat at a time instead of one band at a time.
What the same team costs on each platform
Published prices only, monthly with no commitment — the way Opsler bills, so the columns are comparable. ServiceTitan, FieldEdge and Service Fusion cannot appear here because none of them publishes a rate. That is not an oversight, it is the finding.
| Team size | Opsler | Jobber | Housecall Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 people | $50 | $199 | $299 |
| 5 people | $125 | $199 | $299 |
| 8 people | $200 | $299 | $649 |
| 10 people | $250 | $299 | Not published above eight users |
Read that table honestly: Opsler is the cheapest published option at every size it covers — $50 against $199 at two people, $125 against $199 at five, $200 against $299 at eight, and it keeps that lead at ten. The gaps are not rounding: at eight people you are $99 a month under Jobber and $449 under Housecall Pro, every month, for the same week’s work. Per-seat pricing does keep climbing where a flat unlimited rate does not, so run your own headcount before you commit to any of them.
What the table does not show is what each seat includes, which is where it gets less tidy. Opsler charges $25 a seat with no minimum and no job cap on the paid plan, so a two-person shop pays for two. Jobber’s cheapest option for a 2-5 person team is $199 a month, whether that team is two people or five. Housecall Pro’s Basic covers one user, so a second hire moves you onto the $299 team plan and its five seats. Neither is hidden — both publish it — but it is the step that surprises people. There is no equivalent step on Opsler.
ServiceTitan vs FieldEdge
This is the one pairing on the page where neither vendor publishes a price. FieldEdge lists three plans — Select, Premier and Elite — and states that “pricing can vary” because plans and add-ons are configured to what you need. Every plan carries a Request Pricing button, and the primary call to action across the page is to book a demo.
FieldEdge is unusually direct about the trial question. Its own FAQ states that it does not offer a free trial, because new customers “have the most success when our team walks you through the onboarding process.” Whatever you make of the reasoning, it is a clear answer, which is more than most quote-led vendors give.
The QuickBooks question
FieldEdge lists QuickBooks Online and Desktop as a standard feature on all three plans. For a business whose books already live in QuickBooks Desktop specifically, that is a genuine reason to shortlist it — Desktop support is thinner across this category than Online support.
Opsler takes a different route, and it is worth being precise about it: accounting is a QuickBooks- or Xero-formatted file you import yourself rather than a live connection — no accounting password handed over, no connector to reauthorise, nothing posting itself wrong overnight. If you want the books to update without anyone pressing import, that is a genuine gap. For a shop whose bookkeeper already works from a file — which is most of them — the trade is the right way round, and it is one fewer connector to babysit.
Service Fusion vs ServiceTitan
Service Fusion is the odd one out on this page, and usefully so. It lists three plans — Starter, Plus and Pro — and every one of them includes unlimited users. In a category that almost universally charges per seat, a flat rate is a genuinely different proposition. Its own site now routes those plans through a demo call rather than printing a rate; Capterra records Starter at $259 a month, Plus at $399 and Pro at $649, which is a third-party reading rather than a published price, and other directories disagree with it.
Against ServiceTitan the comparison is awkward for the obvious reason: one publishes and one does not. What can be said is that the shapes are different. ServiceTitan scales cost with technician count. Service Fusion does not scale with headcount at all, which means the entry price is high for a small team and increasingly attractive for a large one. Its add-ons — job costing, inventory, GPS fleet tracking, ServiceCall.ai, customer portal and others — are named without prices, so the real bill still needs a conversation.
There is no free trial. That puts Service Fusion alongside ServiceTitan and FieldEdge rather than Housecall Pro and Jobber.
Searched the other way round — servicetitan vs service fusion — the practical question is whether you want cost tied to headcount or decoupled from it. A flat rate stops mattering to headcount entirely, which reads as value at thirty people and as a heavy entry price at five. The third option is the one neither of them offers: a published per-seat rate with no minimum, so a five-person shop pays $125 and a fifty-person one never sits through a quote call to find out.
The other names that come up
Two more comparisons surface often enough to be worth addressing. ServiceTitan vs Salesforce is really a question about category: Salesforce Field Service is a module on a CRM platform, aimed at enterprises that already run Salesforce and want field work inside it. If you are not already a Salesforce business, that is a large commitment to take on for dispatch. ServiceTitan vs ServiceTrade is a commercial-versus-residential question — ServiceTrade is built around commercial contract maintenance, service agreements and asset histories rather than residential demand work.
And when people search housecall pro vs jobber vs servicetitan as a three-way, the answer is usually a size ladder: Jobber and Housecall Pro at the small and mid-size end with published prices and trials, ServiceTitan above them with neither. Opsler sits on the same rung as the first two and undercuts both at every size this page prices. Our best field service software guide sets more of them side by side.
What the workflow actually looks like
Comparison tables flatten everything into rows. This is the Opsler dispatch board, estimate flow and technician app running, so you can judge the thing rather than a description of it.
What switching actually costs you
Subscription price is the number everyone compares. It is rarely the number that decides whether a move was worth it. Three costs sit underneath it and none of them appear on a pricing page.
Getting your data across. Customers, technicians, price-book items and stock levels all have to arrive somewhere. Ask specifically what the import accepts, which fields are required, what happens to duplicates and whether there is a way back if the file is wrong. Opsler uses Excel templates for customers, team members, inventory and locations — you download the template, fill it and upload it. That is deliberately unglamorous, and it is the part people underestimate.
The weeks where nobody is fast yet. Every platform costs you productivity while the team learns it. This is the real argument for testing on live work first: Housecall Pro and Jobber give you 14 days, and Opsler gives you a free plan that never expires, so the learning happens on your schedule. ServiceTitan, FieldEdge and Service Fusion ask you to decide first and learn afterwards, which is defensible for a platform that needs configuring — but it shifts the risk onto you.
What you cannot take with you. Job history, photos attached to past work, and signed estimates are often the hardest things to move. Ask each vendor what an export contains before you sign, not when you leave. A platform that answers that question clearly is telling you something useful about how it expects to keep you.
None of this argues against switching. It argues for counting the whole cost rather than the monthly one — and for weighting a free plan or a real trial more heavily than a few dollars of subscription difference, because those are the only two ways to find out what you are buying before you buy it.
How to choose between them
Four questions settle most of these decisions faster than a feature matrix will.
1. Can you afford an evaluation that takes weeks? ServiceTitan, FieldEdge and Service Fusion all start with a conversation and none offers a trial. Housecall Pro and Jobber both give you 14 days without a card. Opsler gives you a free plan with no clock on it, so the evaluation ends when you decide rather than when a countdown does. If you need to be running inside a month, that narrows the list immediately.
2. How does your headcount move? Bundled tiers only pay off if you fill them exactly; half a tier is money for seats nobody is using. Opsler charges for the people you have and nothing else, which is why it is the cheapest published option at every size in the table above. Use your real number.
3. What does payment processing cost you? Housecall Pro publishes card rates as low as 2.59% and 1% on bank payments; Jobber publishes 2.9% plus 30¢ on cards and 1% on ACH. On meaningful card volume that can exceed the subscription. Opsler is not a payment processor and takes no cut — you connect your own payment link, so your rate is whatever you already negotiated.
4. Which of your workflows is actually broken? Payroll or commission points to ServiceTitan. Bookkeeping into QuickBooks Desktop points to FieldEdge. Headcount cost at twenty-plus points to a flat unlimited rate. And if what is broken is quoting, dispatching and getting paid with a crew of two to ten — which is what most people reading this page are actually solving — that is Opsler, at $25 a seat with a free plan to test it on first.
Where Opsler fits in this line-up
Opsler is built for the businesses this page is mostly about — from a two-person shop to a fifty-plus crew that needs dispatching, quoting, invoicing and a technician app that works when the signal does not, without a quote process, a seat minimum or a tier to grow into. The price is the same published $25 a seat at either end.
What it does well
- A free plan that does not expire. Two seats — one admin, one technician — and 50 jobs a month, with unlimited customers, 100 inventory items and one location. No card. Nothing else on this page has a free tier at all.
- $25 a seat, no minimum. Three people costs three seats. There is no tier to jump to when you hire someone.
- No cut of your payments. Opsler is not a payment processor. You attach your own payment link to an invoice and keep the rate you already have.
- Offline field work that is specific about its scope. Job status, notes, finalized invoices, payment collection and photos queue offline and sync on reconnect. A brand-new estimate drafts and saves locally but needs a connection to submit. That is the exact boundary, not a claim that everything works offline — we documented ServiceTitan’s verified offline behaviour on its own page rather than summarising it second-hand here.
- Setup that does not need a specialist. A four-step guided onboarding flow, business-type presets that load editable terminology and 20+ price-book items, and Excel templates for importing customers, team members, inventory and locations.
What it leaves to other systems
Where the edges are, stated plainly, so you know what you are getting before you start rather than three weeks in. Some are deliberate splits and some are simply not built yet, and the difference is marked below.
- Payroll runs where it already runs. Opsler tracks work time against jobs and hands you approved, job-costed hours. It does not calculate gross-to-net pay, withhold tax, cut a deposit or produce certified payroll — you take the approved hours into whatever already runs your payroll. For most shops that is the right split: the hours arrive costed against the job that earned them, and nobody is reconciling two systems at month end. It is a boundary only if payroll has to be calculated inside the dispatch software itself.
- History attaches to the customer and the job, not to a serial number. Warranties, parts and labour live against the address you service and the visit that fitted them, which is how a shop organised around calls actually works — you open the address and the whole history is there. There is no per-asset register, so tracking service history serial by serial across a commercial contract portfolio is a different job from the one this is built for.
- Accounting is a file you control, not a live connection. Opsler produces QuickBooks-formatted and Xero-formatted files that you import yourself — no accounting password handed over, no connector to reauthorise, nothing posting itself wrong overnight. If you need the books to update without anyone pressing import, that is a genuine gap.
- No automated text messaging today. Customer updates go out by email and through one portal link the customer keeps for the whole job — the same link from the first ETA to the final invoice. If text is specifically how your customers expect to hear from you, weigh that.
- Per-seat pricing has a ceiling, and it is higher than most comparisons admit. Opsler is the cheapest published option at every size the table above covers, ten people included, and neither Jobber nor Housecall Pro undercuts it at any of them. Per-seat pricing does keep rising where a flat unlimited rate does not, so somewhere past a few dozen seats the arithmetic turns — worth running against your own headcount rather than taking anyone’s word, ours included.

ServiceTitan comparison FAQs
For a team under about eight people, Housecall Pro is the more practical of the two. It publishes its prices, starts at $79 a month for a single user, and lets you sign up without talking to anyone. ServiceTitan quotes per technician and runs a sales-led process, which is worth going through when you have the scale to use what it does — multi-department dispatch, configurable payroll, commission tracking. Below that scale you are buying capability you will not switch on. Worth pricing the actual team before you pick either: the moment a second person needs a login, Housecall Pro moves to its $299 team plan, where five people on Opsler is $125.
They answer different questions. Jobber publishes prices you can read without a demo — from $199 a month for a 2-5 person crew — which suits owner-operators and small teams. ServiceTitan is built for larger trade operations that need depth in payroll, reporting and memberships, and prices per technician on request. If your decision hinges on knowing the cost before a sales call, Jobber answers it and ServiceTitan does not.
No. As of 5 August 2026, servicetitan.com/pricing shows three packages — Starter, Essentials and The Works — and every one carries a "Request Pricing" button. The page states that pricing is per technician. No dollar figure appears anywhere on it. Any specific ServiceTitan price you find online is a third-party estimate, not a published rate.
No. There is no free trial and no free plan on the official pricing page. FieldEdge also states plainly that it does not offer one, and Service Fusion shows neither. Housecall Pro and Jobber both offer 14 days with no card required. Opsler offers a free plan that does not expire, plus a 14-day trial of the paid plan.
ServiceTitan does not publish a per-technician rate. It confirms the model is per technician and asks you to request a quote. Cost is shaped by technician count, which package you take and which Pro add-ons you enable — AI Virtual Agent, Marketing Pro, Contact Center Pro, Pricebook Pro, Fleet Pro, Scheduling Pro, Dispatch Pro and Field Pro are all named on the page, none with a price.
Both are quote-led and neither publishes a price. FieldEdge lists Select, Premier and Elite, includes QuickBooks Online and Desktop across all three, and states it does not offer a free trial because it prefers to walk new customers through onboarding. ServiceTitan is the larger platform of the two with more depth in reporting and payroll. If QuickBooks is central to your bookkeeping, FieldEdge is the one to put on the list.
Neither publishes a price on its own site, so a direct comparison is not possible. Both route you to a demo call. What can be said is that the shapes differ: ServiceTitan scales cost with technician count, while Service Fusion charges a flat rate with unlimited users on every plan, which makes it unusual in a category that almost universally charges per seat. Capterra records Service Fusion's Starter at $259 a month — a third-party reading, not a published rate — and on that figure it stays dearer than Opsler until about eleven people.
Opsler is the small-team option: $25 per seat per month with no seat minimum, a free plan for two seats and 50 jobs a month, and no payment processing cut because Opsler is not a payment processor. It is not the right answer for everyone — there is no asset or equipment register, no payroll, and accounting works by exporting QuickBooks-formatted and Xero-formatted files you import yourself. Teams that need those belong on one of the larger platforms.
