Questions contractors actually ask
Should an HVAC shop start on Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan?
Start on Housecall Pro: verified $149/mo for 5 users (Aug 24, 2026) against a user-reported ≈$1,625/mo plus ≈$20k implementation for the same crew on ServiceTitan (n=17). Move upmarket when 10+ techs and call volume justify the machinery.
What does switching from HCP to ServiceTitan cost?
User reports put implementation at $10k–$50k (median ≈$20k, n=12) plus the per-tech jump from $35/seat to ≈$325/tech/mo. That switching cost is why we tell shops to outgrow HCP loudly before jumping.
