What the matrix shows:

  • Both vendors put memberships on their top tier. On Housecall Pro you can price that tier today: $299/mo for 8 users. On ServiceTitan you can't.
  • Commissions are cheaper to reach on Housecall Pro (Essentials). ServiceTitan holds commission tracking for The Works.
  • ServiceTitan's middle package is where payroll appears. If running payroll from job data is the reason you're looking, ServiceTitan is the vendor here that names it on a package card.

ServiceTitan readiness checklist (built from its demo form)

ServiceTitan's demo request form asks these questions before showing contact fields (as of Oct 5, 2026). Answer them for yourself before the call:

  1. What's your industry? It's a dropdown. ServiceTitan's site has dedicated pages for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing and other trades.
  2. How many technicians do you have? Pricing is per technician, so this drives your quote.
  3. Do you have at least one full-time office employee? ServiceTitan asks this directly. Our reading: the packages focus on call booking, dispatching and payroll, which are office workflows. If nobody works the office full time, compare what Housecall Pro's published plans cover first.
  4. Residential or commercial?
  5. Service and replacement, or construction and remodel?

Bring these to the demo: a written per-technician price for each package; any onboarding or implementation fee; the contract term and cancellation terms; card-processing rates by payment method (Housecall Pro publishes 2.59%–3.49%, ServiceTitan's pricing page shows none); and which package includes memberships, payroll and commission tracking.

Our analysis

  1. This comparison is uneven by design. One vendor publishes prices and the other doesn't, so we compare what each package unlocks and leave cost to your quote.
  2. For crews of up to 8, Housecall Pro's MAX covers memberships at a known price. Above 8 users, each extra user is $35/mo, which works out to $544/mo for 15 users.
  3. ServiceTitan's published differentiators are office-side: call booking, payroll, advanced reporting and configurable payroll. The demo form asks about office staff.
  4. Housecall Pro's card fees are published. Amex, commercial, keyed and card-on-file payments are 3.49%, and card-present is 2.59%. Ask ServiceTitan for its rates in writing so you can compare all-in costs.

How we tested

Bottom line: ServiceTitan has no comparable all-in total (Pricing is not publicly listed as of October 2026). Housecall Pro skews residential; ServiceTitan skews commercial. Card fees use a documented mix (55% in-person, 30% online, 15% Amex/keyed) on $42,000 card volume — adjust in the calculator for your shop.
