Jobber vs ServiceTitan for painting

As of Aug 24, 2026: for painting contractors this pair has a default winner — Jobber ($119/mo for 5 users, annual billing) is our #1 painting pick, and ServiceTitan doesn't target painting at all. ServiceTitan's call-center-and-memberships machinery is built for HVAC/plumbing/electrical service books, not project-based painting work.
