Alternative Guide

Looking for a ServiceTitan Alternative?

ServiceTitan is powerful, but it is not the only option. Compare alternatives based on your business size, budget, and what features actually matter.

Why HVAC Businesses Look for Alternatives

High Per-User Costs

ServiceTitan charges $300+ per technician per month. A 10-tech shop pays $3,000+/month before add-ons.

Long Implementation

ServiceTitan implementations can take months and require dedicated administrators to maintain.

Enterprise Complexity

Features designed for 100+ truck operations create friction for smaller, growing businesses.

Contract Lock-in

Multi-year contracts with limited flexibility to switch or scale down as business needs change.
