Bernard's Bottom Line
I've seen contractors waste $30,000 in implementation costs buying ServiceTitan before they needed it. The honest answer: if you're under $2M in annual revenue, ServiceTitan is oversized for you. Jobber handles the core of a trade business — scheduling, quoting, invoicing, GPS — at a fraction of the cost and with a fraction of the implementation complexity. The moment you hit $2M+ and have a dedicated office team with dispatcher, CSR, and sales roles, ServiceTitan's additional features start to justify themselves. Not before.
