ServiceTitan Alternatives for Small Shops (Sep 2026)

ServiceTitan is a full platform built for trades of any size. If you run a small shop, you may want to compare it with tools that publish their prices and let you try them first. Here are five alternatives with published prices, plus the case for staying.

Who wrote this: Navigrate, one of the options below. We've tried to be fair: every price links to the vendor's own page, and we say plainly where others do more than we do.

Reasons to compare

Prices aren't published: pricing is per technician, and every tier asks you to request pricing.
There's no free trial. You book a demo instead.
Onboarding is a guided program, with a customer success manager after you go live.
Its advanced routing, Dispatch Pro, is sold as an upgrade.

Cheapest plan that covers 3 people or trucks, with the plan that adds route optimization where it differs. ServiceTitan doesn't publish prices. Prices in US dollars, checked on each vendor's pricing page 16–17 Sep 2026. Vendors count users, jobs and routes differently, so confirm on their site before you decide.

The options

1. Focused dispatch board

Navigrate

A dispatch board for small field-service shops that checks the drive as you book, so you don't send a tech across town by accident. We make it.

Best for: Shops with 2 to 10 trucks whose daily pain is scheduling and long drives, and who already handle quotes and invoices somewhere else.
Pricing: Solo $19 (1 technician), Starter $29 (3), Team $69 (10), Business $129 (25) per month; about 30% less billed yearly. Every feature on every plan, priced by crew size. No job limits, no add-ons. 14-day free trial, no card.
Routing: No route optimization. As you book, it estimates the drive from the tech's previous stop or home base (straight-line distance at a typical urban speed) and flags anything past your limit. When a booking is flagged, it lists up to three same-day open times where the estimated drive in and out stays within your limit, when it finds them. You pick; it never books for you. A map shows each tech's stops for the day.
Watch for: No quotes, invoicing, payments, customer texts, repeating jobs or import, and no phone app (it runs in the browser, including on a phone).

2. All-in-one suite

Jobber

A full back-office suite for home-service businesses: quotes, invoicing, payments, client hub, scheduling and, on Connect and up, GPS and route optimization.

Best for: Shops that want quotes, invoicing, payments and scheduling in one app, including route optimization.
Pricing: Teams of 2 to 5 people (5 users included): Connect $199, Grow $299, Plus $499 a month, or $149, $229 and $399 a month billed yearly. For 1 user: Core $49, Connect $139, Grow $199 a month. Below Plus, add-ons such as Receptionist ($29), Pipeline ($49) and Marketing Suite ($99) cost extra.
Routing: Routing and GPS start on Connect; Core has neither. Route optimization re-orders anytime visits (no set start time) for up to 7 days at a time.
Watch for: Core is for 1 user only, so a 3-person team starts at Connect.

3. All-in-one suite

Housecall Pro

An all-in-one suite for residential home-service pros: scheduling, dispatch, estimates, invoicing and payments, with routes on Essentials and one-click route optimization on MAX.

Best for: Residential service shops that want estimates, invoicing, payments and dispatch in one app.
Pricing: Basic $79 (1 user), Essentials $189 (5 users), MAX $329 (8 users, then $35 a month per extra user) a month; $59, $149 and $299 a month billed yearly. Some add-ons, such as AI call answering, payroll and dashcams, are priced separately.
Routing: Scheduling and dispatch on every plan. Routes and a GPS map of your team start on Essentials. One-click route optimization is on MAX.
Watch for: Basic covers 1 user, so a 3-person team usually starts at Essentials. Introductory offers come and go; compare the regular price.

4. Job-priced suite

ServiceM8

A job management suite priced by the number of jobs you do each month, with unlimited users on paid plans and Auto Routing on every plan.

Best for: Low-volume shops on iPhones that want quotes, invoicing and routing together, priced by jobs rather than people.
Pricing: Free (30 jobs a month, 1 user), then unlimited users: Starter $29 (50 jobs), Growing $79 (150 jobs), Premium $149 (500 jobs), Premium Plus $349 (1,500 jobs, then 20¢ a job) a month.
Routing: Scheduling, a dispatch map and Auto Routing are listed on every plan, including Free.
Watch for: The price follows your job count. Three techs doing 3 jobs a day each is about 190 jobs a month, which is Premium ($149). The full app is built for iPhone; staff on Android get the Lite app.

5. Route-service software

GorillaDesk

Field service software for route-based businesses such as pest control, lawn care and pool service, priced per route.

Best for: Pest, lawn and pool businesses that run recurring routes.
Pricing: Priced per route. For 3 routes: Basic $149, Pro $199, Growth $299 a month. Admin users are unlimited; SMS is an add-on.
Routing: Basic includes routing limited to 25 stops. Pro adds routing with a drive matrix and GPS tracking. Growth adds drive time and best-available-time suggestions.
Watch for: Built around recurring routes; check it suits one-off service calls. The 25-stop routing limit on Basic.

6. All-in-one suite

QuoteIQ

Routing: Scheduling and a travel-distance ribbon between stops on every plan. Dispatching and route optimization are on Elite and Max only.

7. Full trades platform

Stay on ServiceTitan

A full platform for commercial and residential trades: call booking, a drag-and-drop dispatch board, scheduling, invoicing and a pricebook, with mobile estimates, payroll and more on higher tiers.

Best for: Your office runs on its pricebook, estimates and payroll, and the cost is worth it for your team.
Pricing: No public prices. Its pricing page says pricing is per technician, and each tier (Starter, Essentials, The Works) asks you to request pricing. Dispatch Pro, its advanced routing, is sold as an upgrade.
Routing: Drag-and-drop dispatch board. Its dispatch features page mentions schedule optimization and route planning without naming a tier. Dispatch Pro, an upgrade, optimizes routing by location and skill set.
Watch for: No free trial, only a demo, and no published prices to compare. Onboarding is a guided program rather than self-serve.

What Navigrate doesn't do

Quotes, invoicing, payments or a customer database. Keep your accounting tool for those.
Route optimization. It won't re-order a day's stops; it checks each booking's drive as you make it.
Real road distances or traffic. The drive check is a fast straight-line estimate.
Importing jobs or customers. Jobs are added as you book them for now.
Customer reminders or texts, or repeating jobs.
A phone app. Navigrate runs in any web browser, including on a phone.

Switching, honestly

There's no import into Navigrate yet. Enter next week's jobs by hand and run both tools side by side for a week before you decide.

If you leave ServiceTitan completely, you'll need somewhere else for estimates, invoicing and payroll. Navigrate doesn't do those; Jobber, Housecall Pro and ServiceM8 cover estimates and invoicing.

We couldn't find ServiceTitan's contract terms on its website, so check yours before you cancel.

Navigrate's trial is 14 days with every feature, up to 3 technicians, and no card.

Common questions

How much does ServiceTitan cost?

ServiceTitan doesn't publish prices. Its pricing page says pricing is per technician, and each tier asks you to request pricing. We haven't listed third-party estimates because we can't check them.

Does ServiceTitan have a free trial?

Its pricing page offers a free demo rather than a trial. Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceM8 and Navigrate each offer a 14-day free trial with no card.

Which alternative is closest to ServiceTitan?

For an all-in-one with published prices, Jobber and Housecall Pro are the closest on this list: both do estimates, invoicing, payments, GPS and route optimization on higher plans. Navigrate isn't a replacement; it's a dispatch board with a drive check at booking.

Is ServiceTitan only for big contractors?

Its site says it serves commercial and residential trades at any size. Its demo request form asks whether you have at least one full-time office employee.

How were these prices checked?

On each vendor's own pricing page on 16 and 17 Sep 2026, using monthly billing with no commitment, in US dollars. Prices change, so confirm on the vendor's site before you decide.
