Flagship comparison · 2026 · Oct 24

Every fact about field-service software, in one place.

We read the pricing pages so you don't have to. We gathered plans, per-user fees, add-ons, contracts and AI tools from five vendors' own pages, review sites and price trackers — dated, sourced, and with BizBaby's own gaps on the board too.

Three things before you sign

Your plan to switch

Contracts, per-user fees and add-ons differ by vendor and by trade. Pick your trade and we'll point you to what matters for it.

01 · CHECK

Check your real bill

Add up the plan, every extra user and every add-on you pay for today. Most "from $29" plans end well above it for a 5-person landscaping crew.

See what a team really pays
02 · PLAN

Know your exit

BizBaby: monthly, cancel any time, first 90 days included. Others: 7–14 day trials, and ServiceTitan signs annual or multi-year terms you can't cancel.

Compare contracts & trials
03 · BRING SOMEONE

Bring your data! Bring your books.

Customers, jobs and your price book come with you, and QuickBooks keeps your books in step from day one — on Premium, not a top tier.

The money behind the subscription

"From $29 a month" is one person on the smallest plan. Add your team, the AI receptionist and the marketing tools, and here's what a year really costs — 5 people, the same jobs done.

Yearly cost · 5-person team · plan + add-ons to match
BizBabyPlan + usersAdd-ons & setup
Matched bundle: scheduling to invoicing, QuickBooks, automations, AI receptionist, email marketing. BizBaby = Growth ($89 + $25 per extra user) plus pay-as-you-go AI and texts; BizBaby Premium ($59 + $15 per extra user) is the same without email marketing — the fair match for Housecall Pro Essentials. Jobber = Grow (annual, standard rate — its October promo is not counted) + AI Receptionist $29 + Marketing Suite $99. Housecall Pro = Essentials/MAX (annual); its AI phone and website add-ons have no published price, so they are not counted. Workiz and ServiceTitan hide prices: figures marked * are third-party reports or the last prices Workiz showed (its ~$229 annual rate was last recorded in 2025)1; ServiceTitan includes the low end of its reported setup fee7.

A feature counts once per contender. "Leads" means BizBaby includes it on a lower plan or at a lower price than every other contender with a public price; a tie with any one of them is an even race. Where BizBaby has nothing, it's behind — no partial credit.

The price board

One column per contender, every price we could find: their plan ladder, extra users, the AI receptionist and the marketing add-on. Pink chips are the ones a 5-person team usually needs. * = third-party report, the vendor doesn't publish it.

The AI race

Every contender launched AI in 2025–202615. Most of it answers the phone. The question is what it costs per call — and whether you can see the price before you talk to sales.

Methodology

How we score

We don't rate software — we price it, with the same two tests for every feature and every contender, and we show where we lose.

⚡ BizBaby leads: BizBaby includes the feature on a lower plan, or at a lower price, than every other contender that publishes a price.
🔥 Even race: at least one other contender offers it on a similar plan and price. Where BizBaby doesn't offer it at all, it's marked behind.
