Maintenance-agreement tier-unlock matrix
The lowest plan on each vendor's pricing page (October 5, 2026) that lists memberships, service plans or service agreements. "Not named" means the plan cards don't mention it. It doesn't mean the product lacks it.
| Vendor | Lowest plan listing agreements / memberships | Price of that plan | What the tier below lacks or has | Also relevant for HVAC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Housecall Pro | MAX (Recurring Service Plans) | $299/mo annual, 8 users | Essentials ($149) has flat-rate pricing and commissions, but no service plans | Route optimization and sales proposals also MAX |
| ServiceTitan | The Works (Customizable Memberships) | Not publicly listed | Essentials adds Payroll Management and Mobile Estimates, but no memberships | Pricebook on all packages |
| FieldEdge | Select (Basic Agreements) · Premier/Elite: Advanced Service Agreements | Quote-only | Select is the entry tier | Pricebook & Flat Rate on all tiers. Performance & Commission from Premier |
| Workiz | Ultimate (Service plans) | Quote-only | Pro has recurring jobs, but no service plans | Flat rate and equipment tracking also Ultimate-only |
| Service Fusion | Pro (Progress Billing & Recurring Invoicing; no membership feature named) | Quote-only | Plus has job costing and inventory | Unlimited users on all plans (FAQ) |
| ServiceTrade | Enterprise (recurring contract pricing and proposals) | Quote-only | Premium has project management and a customer portal | Commercial focus. Equipment history on Select |
| Jobber | Not named on plan cards or features table | — | Connect lists automatic payments "for recurring work" | No flat rate or price book named |
| FieldPulse | Not shown by tier | Quote-only | — | Pricebook listed as an add-on |
What the matrix shows:
- At most vendors, memberships are a top-tier feature. Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan and Workiz each list them only on their highest plan. ServiceTrade lists recurring contract pricing on Enterprise.
- FieldEdge is the exception. It lists basic agreements on its entry Select tier. FieldEdge doesn't publish prices, so we can't say whether Select costs less than Housecall Pro MAX.
- Housecall Pro MAX is the only membership tier with a published price. That's $299/mo for 8 users, $150/mo more than Essentials.
Membership autopay: what the card fee takes from each charge
Membership dues are often charged automatically to a card on file. Housecall Pro charges 3.49% on card-on-file payments. Jobber doesn't list memberships on its plan cards, but it does list automatic payments. Its published online rate is 2.9% + 30¢, and it publishes no separate card-on-file rate (provisional).
| Charge per billing | Housecall Pro (3.49%) | Jobber (2.9% + 30¢, provisional) |
|---|---|---|
| $15/mo | $0.52 | $0.74 |
| $20/mo | $0.70 | $0.88 |
| $25/mo | $0.87 | $1.03 |
| $35/mo | $1.22 | $1.32 |
| $200/yr | $6.98 | $6.10 |
| $300/yr | $10.47 | $9.00 |
Break-even: about $51 per charge. Below that, Housecall Pro's percentage-only fee takes less, because Jobber's 30¢ fixed fee dominates on small charges. Above it, Jobber takes less. A shop billing monthly dues of $15–$35 pays less per charge on Housecall Pro. One billing annual plans of $200 or more pays less on Jobber's rate. Model: analysis/wave1_models.py, section E.

Our analysis
- For HVAC, the first question is whether you sell memberships. If you do, the published choice is Housecall Pro MAX, and the choices without a public price are FieldEdge, ServiceTitan and Workiz. If you don't, Jobber's and Housecall Pro's lower tiers are cheaper.
- Flat-rate pricing is the second gate. Housecall Pro lists it on Essentials, FieldEdge on all tiers, Workiz on Ultimate only. It isn't named on Jobber's plan cards. More in best plumbing software.
