Questions contractors actually ask
Is ServiceTitan overkill for a plumbing shop?
Under 10 techs, almost always: user-reported pricing runs ≈$325/tech/mo (n=17) plus a reported $10k–$50k implementation, against Jobber's verified $119/mo for 5 users (Aug 24, 2026). The feature depth is real; the payback at small-crew scale isn't.
