Is Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan better for HVAC?

For HVAC operations with 5–20 technicians, Housecall Pro typically delivers 80% of ServiceTitan's functionality at 30–40% of the cost. ServiceTitan becomes the better choice above 20 techs doing $3M+ annually, where its enterprise dispatch board and Marketing Pro attribution justify the price premium.

How much cheaper is Housecall Pro than ServiceTitan?

Housecall Pro starts at $65/month. ServiceTitan starts at approximately $398/month. For a growing 10-tech operation, the annual cost difference is typically $4,000–$10,000 per year. Both require annual contracts for the best pricing.

Does Housecall Pro have a dispatch board like ServiceTitan?

Yes. Housecall Pro has a dispatch board suitable for teams of 5–50 technicians. ServiceTitan's dispatch board is more advanced — real-time GPS overlays, multi-zone scheduling, and enterprise-grade capacity planning. For most mid-size operations, Housecall Pro's dispatch board is sufficient.

Frequently asked questions

Can Housecall Pro do everything ServiceTitan does?›

For most operations: yes, 80% of the functionality. The gaps are enterprise dispatch (20+ crew real-time board), advanced marketing attribution, payroll integration, and custom API access. Under 20 techs, these gaps rarely matter enough to justify ServiceTitan's price premium.

Is Housecall Pro good for plumbing businesses?›

Yes — Housecall Pro is one of the top-rated platforms for plumbing operations with 5–30 technicians. The flat-rate pricebook, customer financing options (Wisetack) and membership management features are all well-suited to plumbing business models.

What's the real contract difference?›

Housecall Pro offers monthly billing with annual discount options. ServiceTitan typically requires a 2–3 year contract upfront. For a growing business, this matters: if ServiceTitan doesn't deliver ROI, you're locked in for years. Housecall Pro's shorter commitment is a meaningful risk reduction.

Do both platforms have mobile apps for field techs?›

Yes. Both have iOS and Android apps rated above 4.5 in app stores. Housecall Pro's app is slightly better-rated for ease of use by field technicians. ServiceTitan's app has more advanced features but a steeper learning curve.
