The short answer
Housecall Pro publishes its prices: $59 to $299 a month billed annually, plus $35 a month per user above 8 on Max. ServiceTitan is quote-only. A consultant who works with ServiceTitan clients puts it around $200 to $300 per technician per month, so for most small and mid-size shops Housecall Pro costs a fraction as much. My take: ServiceTitan's case is depth for larger shops, not price.

Trial and contract
- Housecall Pro: 14-day free trial with Max features, no credit card. No long-term contract required, per its FAQ.
- ServiceTitan: demo only. Contract terms aren't published. One Reddit commenter reported being told they'd owe a termination fee of over $50,000 after onboarding.
Which to pick
My take:
- Up to about 15 people, residential service: Housecall Pro. Published prices, a free trial, no long contract, and service plans on Max.
- Large shops with a call center, many techs and complex reporting needs: get a ServiceTitan quote, and hold it against the estimates above. What to ask before signing.
- Want neither? 7 ServiceTitan alternatives and Housecall Pro alternatives, with prices where they're published.
Questions people ask
Almost certainly, for small and mid-size teams. Housecall Pro Essentials is $149/month billed annually for 5 users. ServiceTitan doesn't publish prices, but a consultant who works with ServiceTitan clients puts it around $200 to $300 per technician per month, which is roughly $1,000 to $1,500 a month for 5 techs by my estimate, before add-ons.
