Field service software pricing in 2026: what 13 vendors publish, in one table

What does field service software cost in 2026?

For a one-person operation, published prices start at zero. ServiceM8 has a free plan for one user and up to 30 new jobs a month. Jobber's Core plan costs one user $29 a month when billed yearly, and its top single-user plan, Grow, is $199 a month if you pay month to month. Housecall Pro's Basic plan is $59 a month billed yearly.

For a team, the spread gets much wider, and less of it is published. Service Fusion lists $208 to $627 a month with no cap on users. ServiceTitan, Workiz, FieldEdge and JobNimbus show plan names and feature lists but no prices at all. You get a number by requesting a quote or booking a demo.

The table below collects every plan name, listed price, billing term, user limit and free trial we could confirm on each vendor's own website on October 7, 2026. If a vendor doesn't publish a detail, the cell says Not published. The order is not a ranking, and no vendor saw this page before it went up. If you are still deciding what a field app should do for you, start with what a CRM does in a service company, then come back with a shortlist.

Field service software prices side by side, October 2026

Prices are in US dollars per month unless the cell says otherwise. "Billed annually" prices are the monthly equivalent of a yearly payment.

Three notes on reading the table. Jobber shows only one-user prices for the reason given in the method section below. GorillaDesk's price comes from a slider, and the figures above are its one-route setting. Kickserv's page switches between annual and monthly prices with a toggle, and the table shows both. For a closer look at two of these products, see our Jobber vs Housecall Pro comparison.

Why are these prices so hard to compare?

Each vendor charges for a different thing, so two tools with similar sticker prices can end up far apart once your crew size and job count go in. Here is what each one actually meters:

• People with a login. Tradify charges per user, from $47 to $61 a month each. Housecall Pro bundles 1, 5 or 8 users into its plans and adds $35 a month for every MAX user beyond eight. Kickserv bundles 5, 10 or 20. JobNimbus caps users by tier.
• Technicians. ServiceTitan describes its pricing as per technician. Its annual report on Form 10-K (fiscal year ending January 31, 2026) says subscription pricing is generally based on the number of field technicians, and in some cases on end customers or the customer's revenue.
• Routes. GorillaDesk prices by schedule. Its FAQ says a tech who rides solo needs a schedule, while a crew riding together needs one for its lead. Office people who never run a schedule cost nothing.
• Job volume. ServiceM8 sizes plans by new jobs created each month, from 30 to 1,500+, with unlimited users on paid plans. Converting an accepted quote into a work order costs no extra job credit.
• Serviced locations. Skimmer, which is made for pool service companies, bills $1 or $2 a month per pool address you service that month, with plans starting at $49 or $98 a month for the first 49 locations.
• Nothing per head. Service Fusion charges one price per plan whether you have two people or twenty.
• Licenses by type. Service Autopilot bundles a set number of mobile licenses and office users into each plan.

Before you open a pricing page, write down your real numbers. How many people need the app, how many trucks run separate schedules, and how many new jobs you create in your busiest month. Then price each shortlisted tool against those three numbers, at next year's headcount as well as this year's.

What would a five-person crew pay on the published plans?

Here is our own arithmetic on the vendors' published numbers for a company of five people who all need a login, using annual billing where it is offered. These are list prices before add-ons, card fees and tax. The plans include very different features, so read this as a sense of scale, never as a ranking. The list is in alphabetical order.

• Housecall Pro Essentials: $149 a month billed yearly includes five users, or $1,788 a year.
• Kickserv Start: $60 a month billed annually covers five users, or $720 a year.
• Service Autopilot Pro Plus: $499 a month includes five mobile licenses and one office user, or $5,988 a year before its unstated sign-up fee.
• Service Fusion Starter: $208 a month billed annually is $2,496 a year, with no user cap.
• ServiceM8 Growing: $79 a month with unlimited users is $948 a year, as long as you create no more than 150 new jobs a month.
• Tradify Lite: five users at $47 each is $235 a month, or $2,820 a year.

Jobber is left out because we list only its one-user prices. GorillaDesk depends on how many routes those five people run. ServiceTitan, Workiz, FieldEdge and JobNimbus need a quote.

Which vendors make you ask for a price, and what should you ask?

Four of the 13 publish no price for any plan: ServiceTitan, Workiz, FieldEdge and JobNimbus. A hidden price doesn't by itself mean a product is overpriced, and several of these are pitched at bigger operations. FieldEdge describes its upper plans as built for multi-truck operations, and ServiceTitan's demo form asks how many technicians you have and whether you have at least one full-time office employee. FieldEdge also says every plan includes an onboarding specialist, and that it offers no free trial because new members do best when its team walks them through onboarding, which includes moving their business data in. JobNimbus aims at exterior contractors such as roofing, restoration, solar, gutters and siding.

A private quote does put the work on you. Get these answers in writing before you sign:

1. The price per technician or per user, and exactly who counts as one.
2. The contract length, and how much notice you must give before it renews. ServiceTitan's 10-K says its contracts nearly always renew automatically unless cancelled in advance.
3. Any setup, onboarding or migration fees.
4. Which add-ons are inside the number. Workiz, for instance, lists its Genius Phone, Answering and Marketing tools as add-ons outside its plans.
5. The price at the headcount you expect next year.
6. How you get customers, jobs and invoices out when you leave. Before you sign, read how to move to a new CRM without losing records.

What does the list price leave out?

The plan price is where the bill starts. Each of these showed up on the vendors' own pricing pages:

• Add-ons with their own monthly fee. Jobber lists Marketing Suite at $99 a month, Receptionist at $29 and Pipeline at $49. Skimmer lists AI Phone at $99 a month, Marketing Suite at $150 and Bookkeeping from $198. Kickserv charges $50 a month for its QuickBooks Desktop integration on Run. Tradify's Instant Website is $12 a month.
• Texting. GorillaDesk charges $5 a month for texting plus prepaid message credits, where $50 buys 1,000 texts, $100 buys 2,500 and $200 buys 8,000. Skimmer's entry plan charges 2.9 cents per service text; its Scaling Up plan includes them.
• Sign-up fees. Service Autopilot shows a sign-up fee on each published plan without stating the amount.
• Card processing. Housecall Pro's FAQ puts card fees at 2.59% and up, with bank payments charged 1%. Kickserv lists 2.9% plus $0.30 for tap to pay, 3.9% plus $0.30 for other online card payments, and 1% plus $0.30 for ACH, and notes that some accounts pay 5.2% plus $0.30 on American Express. Kickserv also takes 5% off the monthly fee for accounts that process at least $1,000, $2,000 or $3,000 a month online, depending on the plan.
• Sales tax. Jobber and Housecall Pro both say their plan prices exclude sales tax. Jobber's help article says tax is added when your billing address is in a state or province that taxes software as a service, so whether you pay it depends on where you are.

Run the numbers on your own card volume. For example, at Housecall Pro's lowest listed card rate of 2.59%, $100,000 a year in card payments would cost at least $2,590 in fees, which is more than three years of its Basic plan billed annually. Ask for processing rates alongside the plan price. For more on card and bank payment fees, see online payments for contractors.

Is annual billing worth the discount?

The savings are real. On our arithmetic, one Jobber user on Core pays $348 for a year on annual billing, $468 on the monthly 1-year commitment, and $588 paying month to month. Housecall Pro Basic is $708 a year billed annually against $948 monthly. Kickserv Start is $720 against $900. Service Fusion Starter is $2,496 against $2,940.

The catch is what happens if the software doesn't work out. Jobber's pricing FAQ says an annual plan is billed for the full term up front, and if you cancel during the year your initial payment is non-refundable. Its monthly 1-year commitment keeps billing until the 12 months are up. Kickserv says annual subscriptions are not prorated or refundable. GorillaDesk bills annual plans for the whole year at the start, and Service Fusion charges its annual option as one payment at sign-up. Jobber's help article on subscribing adds that charges renew automatically unless you cancel before the current period ends.

We'd run the free trial on real jobs, pay monthly for a season, and commit to a year only once your crew uses the app every day and you have tested an export. Seasonal businesses have two more options worth knowing. GorillaDesk says you can freeze your account if your business is seasonal, and Skimmer doesn't bill for a location you don't service in a given month, though each of its plans has a starting monthly price.

How long are the free trials?

Kickserv's trial runs 30 days. Jobber, Housecall Pro, GorillaDesk, ServiceM8, Tradify and JobNimbus each offer 14 days, and Workiz offers 7. Skimmer currently gives new users the first month of its Scaling Up plan free as a limited-time offer, and its FAQ adds a 30-day refund guarantee. FieldEdge offers no trial. ServiceTitan and Service Fusion point you to a demo and publish no trial. Service Autopilot offers one without stating how long it lasts.

Watch which plan the trial runs on. Jobber's trial uses Grow features, Housecall Pro's uses MAX, and GorillaDesk's uses Pro. A feature you fall for during the trial may sit two tiers above the plan you meant to buy, so check the plan card before you enter a card number.

How we built this table

We read every vendor's own pricing page on October 7, 2026, in US dollars. We also used Jobber's help article on subscribing, GorillaDesk's customer success commitment page for its trial terms, and ServiceTitan's 10-K for its contract terms, because its pricing page states none.

• Standard prices only. Housecall Pro and Skimmer both showed introductory offers for new sign-ups. The table lists the standard prices and notes the offers only where they change the trial.
• Jobber's team prices are left out. Jobber prices teams through a selector (2 to 5, 6 to 10, 11 to 15, and 16 or more people). Earlier reads of those team prices didn't agree with each other, so we list only the one-user prices, which matched on every read. Price your own headcount on Jobber's page.
• Sliders and toggles. GorillaDesk is shown at one route. Kickserv's annual and monthly figures are both the page's own values.
• "Not published" means the detail wasn't on the vendor's pricing page or its FAQ when we read it. It doesn't mean the vendor won't tell you.
• No third-party estimates. Some sites publish guesses at ServiceTitan's per-technician price. We left them out because ServiceTitan doesn't publish one.

You should know where we stand. We build custom CRMs for service businesses, and we built one for our own companies first, so we compete with these products for some buyers. That is why the table sticks to what each vendor says about itself. Prices change. If a vendor's page disagrees with this table, the vendor's page wins.

Should you build a custom CRM instead?

For most new or small shops, one of the tools above plus a free trial is the right place to start. You can be quoting and scheduling this week, with no build to wait for.

Custom software earns its cost in narrower cases: one owner runs two or more brands, your sales process doesn't fit a quote screen, your pay rules never match an export, or you are stacking add-ons and spreadsheets to patch gaps. In those cases a system built around how you work, with code and records owned by your company, can fit better than one more add-on. Our signs you outgrew your CRM list helps you tell which camp you are in, and our custom CRM page covers how a build works.
