HomeMaxx Pro vs ServiceTitan.
ServiceTitan runs the job once you have the customer. HomeMaxx Pro runs the job too, and brings you the Homeowner first. Here is the whole table, row by row, and what each one costs a 5-person shop.
The score counts every row on the comparison table once: included is one point, partial is half. Value divides the score by what a 5-person shop pays a month on the plan that covers the most of the table.
Who ServiceTitan is for.
ServiceTitan is the enterprise platform for larger residential and commercial service companies, mostly HVAC, plumbing and electrical, with call booking, dispatch, a price book, marketing attribution, memberships and deep reporting.
For a shop with a call center, dozens of technicians and a marketing budget, nothing on the market goes deeper. The reporting, the price book presentation on the tablet and the dispatch board are the standard the rest of the industry copies.
What buyers watch for.
Quote-only pricing per technician, a setup fee in the thousands, an implementation that takes months, and annual contracts. Buyers with fewer than ten technicians report paying for a great deal they never use.
HomeMaxx Pro is priced per shop, not per technician, every plan includes texting from your own number and the customer portal, and the Homeowner requests outside a franchise territory are free. The rows below are where the two part ways.
