Jobber vs Housecall Pro vs ServiceTitan: which fits your crew size and trade

Jobber vs Housecall Pro vs ServiceTitan: which one should you pick?

Pick by crew size and by how calls turn into jobs. A one- to three-person shop that quotes and schedules repeat work usually lands on Jobber or Housecall Pro, and the deciding question is which plan carries the features you use at the lowest price for your headcount. A shop of five to fifteen with a dispatcher should price both at that headcount and add the AI and payment fees. A trades company with an office, a call-booking team, a price book and technicians paid on commission is who ServiceTitan builds for, and it is priced and contracted like a long-term system.

Everything on this page was read on each vendor's own pricing, help, terms or SEC pages in October 2026, and each fact names where it came from. We already compare these products in pairs on Jobber vs Housecall Pro, Jobber vs ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro vs ServiceTitan. This page puts all three in one grid, by size and trade, and adds the three things the pairwise pages cover least: what leaving looks like, what the built-in AI receptionist costs, and where the vendors' own comparison pages disagree.

What does each cost for a 1, 3, 5, 10 or 15 person crew?

We took the cheapest published tier that covers each headcount on annual billing. Jobber shows three prices per tier on its pricing page: a month-to-month price, a monthly price on a one-year commitment, and an annual prepaid price. We list the annual price. A new-customer promotion that cut the first 12 months of annual billing ended on October 30, 2026, and our October 31 read showed only the regular prices. Housecall Pro's pricing page shows one annual and one monthly price per plan. ServiceTitan's pricing page shows none.

Monthly per company, annual billing, read October 2026. Jobber Core, at $29, is offered for one user only, and Plus is offered at 5, 10 and 15 users for $399, $449 and $529. Jobber's plan cards, the one-user cards included, say "Add users for $29/mo each" but the page does not say whether that rate changes with the billing option, and Housecall Pro does not say whether the $35 extra user is discounted on annual billing. We treat both as unconfirmed. The tiers do not carry the same features, so the cheapest line is only a fair comparison once each column includes what you need. Our cost by crew size guide adds the add-ons and card fees, and the software rent calculator runs your own headcount.

ServiceTitan's annual report fills in some of what the pricing page leaves out. Its Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026 says subscription pricing follows business size, mainly "the number of field technicians", while professional services fees "are generally invoiced separately". Ask for the onboarding cost in writing during the demo.

Which ones lock you into a contract?

• Jobber sells month to month ("you can cancel at any time") and annual. For annual plans its pricing FAQ says "your initial payment is non-refundable". Its terms of service (section 3.3) say fees "are non-refundable" with no credit for partial months, and section 3.2 asks you to cancel an annual plan at least 30 days before it renews.
• Housecall Pro says in its pricing FAQ that it "does not require long-term contracts". Its terms say subscriptions renew automatically and fees "will not be prorated or refunded" outside what the agreement allows. Its billing help article says the owner must speak with Housecall Pro by phone before a cancellation is complete.
• ServiceTitan publishes no contract terms on its pricing page. The 10-K says that for new customers it primarily enters annual or multi-year agreements "typically ranging from 12 to 36 months", that some Pro product and legacy customers pay month to month, and that nearly all contracts renew automatically unless cancelled in advance.

Our contracts and cancellation guide puts these terms next to other vendors'.

Which field service software for a 2 truck HVAC company, a cleaning business or a lawn crew?

These are starting points. Housecall Pro's pricing FAQ says it is designed for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning and landscaping businesses, and Jobber's pricing page speaks to solo contractors and home service pros generally. Both are used across the trades we serve. For a deeper per-trade list, see best HVAC software or best cleaning business software.

What can you take with you if you leave?

Jobber's client export produces CSV or vCard files of up to 1,500 rows each, for admins, and the article says client exporting "is available on select plans" without naming them. Its close-account article says reports export as CSV, and quotes, jobs and invoices download one PDF at a time. Housecall Pro's export article lets admins email themselves customers and jobs as CSV files. ServiceTitan's Open Data Pledge says it will make customer data exportable as CSV, and does not define what customer data includes. For the full picture, read who owns your data in field service software before you sign anything.

Which one has the cheapest built-in AI receptionist?

Only Jobber publishes a number. Its Receptionist help article says the add-on is $29 a month including 30 conversations, then $0.79 per additional conversation, with no cap on the Plus plan. Calls reach it through a dedicated Jobber number that your existing line forwards to. Housecall Pro's CSR AI article describes call answering and booking through a forwarding number and states no price. ServiceTitan's Voice Agent article says it is an Early Access feature available to specific accounts using its phone products, that Adaptive Capacity should be set up first, and that billing begins once you put it to use, with no rate given. We compare built-in and independent answering on built-in vs independent AI receptionist.

Where do the vendors' own comparison pages disagree?

• Jobber's Housecall Pro comparison says in its FAQ "Grow at $149/mo (1-15 users)". Jobber's own pricing page lists $149 for one user and $229 for five. The same page puts Housecall Pro's extra users at $35 to $100 a month "depending on industry and plan"; Housecall Pro's pricing page shows $35 on Max.
• Housecall Pro's Jobber comparison states no prices for either product. It lists features it says Jobber lacks, including postcards, check deposit from the app and a built-in VoIP phone system. Check each one in a trial before it decides anything.
• ServiceTitan's Jobber comparison states no prices, says ServiceTitan can "support small businesses up to enterprise-level operations" without naming a team size, and points you to a demo and an ROI calculator.

None of this is unusual for vendor pages. It is the reason to price from the live pricing pages on the day you buy.

When does none of the three fit?

When the price of the tier you need keeps climbing with each hire, or the workarounds outgrow the software. A custom CRM is the other route: we build it with the database, code and domain in your company's name, charge no per-user fee, publish no price list and quote each build in writing, per our facts page. It takes longer to start and needs upkeep, so it fits shops with a stable, unusual workflow. See custom CRM builds or custom CRM vs Housecall Pro vs ServiceTitan.
