Ranked on the disclosed criteria in our methodology — trade fit, verified 5-tech cost, pricing transparency, and contract terms — independent of affiliate payout. This list always includes at least one vendor that pays us nothing.
The default choice for small service crews
Best for most plumbing shops under 10 techs. Service-call speed matters in plumbing, and Jobber's quote-to-invoice loop is the shortest of the set at $119/mo for 5 users (verified Aug 24, 2026).
Consumer-polished front end for home-service shops
Best when average tickets are big: consumer financing and card-on-file lift close rates on $5k+ repipes and water heater replacements. $149/mo for 5 users.
The enterprise platform for scaled shops
The scaled-shop choice — memberships, dispatch scoring, call recording. User-reported ≈$325/tech/mo + implementation (n=17); pencils at 10+ techs.
Communication-heavy dispatch for on-demand trades
Good for drain/rooter businesses driven by inbound calls: call tracking is native. $225/mo for 5 users.
Per-user pricing that scales down as well as up
Cheapest way for a 1–2 person shop to get a flat-rate pricebook: $99 first user + $60/user.
Flat monthly price, unlimited users
Flat $225/mo with unlimited users — becomes the value pick at 8+ users. (No affiliate relationship — neutrality control.)

Listed pricing on public pageQuote-only ("talk to sales")
FieldPulse removed listed pricing for the Pro tier; it is now quote-gated. Essentials remains listed at $99/mo first user + $60/additional user. Log entry
Among shops under 10 techs, Jobber and Housecall Pro dominate. As of Aug 24, 2026, Jobber runs $119/mo and Housecall Pro $149/mo for 5 users on annual billing — an order of magnitude below ServiceTitan's user-reported ≈$1,625/mo for the same headcount.
FieldPulse ships one natively (from $99/mo). ServiceTitan integrates deeply with third-party flat-rate books. Jobber and Housecall Pro handle flat-rate via line items and templates rather than a managed book — verify this fits your workflow before buying.
As of Aug 24, 2026: Jobber Core $39/mo (1 user) or Connect $119/mo, FieldPulse ≈$159/mo ($99 + $60), Housecall Pro Basic $59/mo (1 user) or Essentials $149/mo, Workiz Lite free for 2 users with basic features. Roughly $40–$160/mo covers a 2-person shop.
