ServiceTitan alternative
TradeOS is the flat-rate alternative to ServiceTitan. One monthly price covers your whole crew — $149, $399, or $1,250 up to 50 techs — and an Enterprise plan priced for the fleet when you run more trucks or more than one branch. No per-user fees, no implementation project, no annual contract.

ServiceTitan does not publish list pricing. Figures marked (est.) come from third-party reporting and contractor forums, not from ServiceTitan, and your quote may differ. TradeOS prices are the prices — they’re on the pricing section because they don’t change.
The usual reason a bigger shop stays on ServiceTitan is the fear that a flat-price product means a smaller product. Check the list. Branches with their own hours, crews, and revenue, run from one login. Payroll with pay periods you review and lock, then export. Commercial billing: projects with pay applications, change orders that raise a job’s not-to-exceed, lien waivers, purchase orders, and cost codes. An on-call rotation for after-hours. An AI receptionist, and an operations agent that carries out dispatch and collections tasks on your say-so. None of it is an add-on.
Where ServiceTitan is still ahead: marketing attribution across ad platforms and the depth of its custom report builder. If your office lives in those two, it is a fair reason to stay. If per-seat fees and a six-week implementation are the reason you’re here, you’re the shop we built this for, whether that is five trucks or fifty-five.

Common questions
It depends on how you're being charged. If per-user fees and a big implementation project are what's pushing you to look, TradeOS is built for exactly that: one flat monthly price for the whole shop — $149 up to 5 techs, $399 up to 15, $1,250 up to 50 — with an AI receptionist, scheduling, dispatch, quoting, invoicing, and payments included in every plan. Jobber and Housecall Pro are the other common landing spots; both cost less than ServiceTitan, and both step the bill up with team size (Jobber by team-size tier, Housecall Pro by adding a fee per user past five). We compare each on its own page. Over 50 techs, or more than one branch, is the Enterprise plan: priced for the fleet, not per login, and set up with us rather than by a consultant.
ServiceTitan doesn't publish list pricing — you get a quote from a sales rep. Third-party reporting commonly puts it around $300 per user per month (est.) plus an implementation project that can run about $15K (est.), typically on an annual contract. TradeOS publishes its prices because they don't change: $149, $399, or $1,250 a month flat, month-to-month, and the rate you sign up at is the rate you keep.
At 10 techs you're on the $399 band — that's the whole shop, every feature, one bill. Priced per user at the commonly reported ServiceTitan rate (est.), 10 seats would land in a very different place, before implementation. Run your own numbers rather than taking ours: the calculator on the home page uses your truck count and ticket average.
About 30 minutes, and you do it yourself — no consultants, no six-week onboarding. Export your customer list and pricebook to CSV and upload them, pick your trade so TradeOS builds a starter pricebook and trains your AI receptionist on what you do, and keep your existing phone number. You can run both systems for a week if you want the overlap.
What you lose is ServiceTitan's marketing-attribution suite and the depth of its custom report builder. What you keep: scheduling, dispatch, quoting, invoicing, payments, the customer portal, branches, payroll, and commercial billing with projects, change orders, and lien waivers. What you gain is included: an AI receptionist that books, and an agent that moves jobs and chases invoices when you tell it to.
Yes. Each location has its own hours, timezone, crew, and on-call rotation, and the owner sees every branch or one at a time from the same login. Techs are scoped to their branch. That is the Enterprise plan when the fleet is over 50 techs, and Scale below it.
No. Grace answers calls 24/7, sounds like your shop, and books the job — and she's in every plan, including Starter. That's the piece most shops are actually shopping for, and charging for it separately would just be the per-seat problem wearing a different hat.
