ServiceTitan pricing for small plumbing and electrical shops, and what Housecall Pro and Jobber publish

Short answer: ServiceTitan publishes no price. Its pricing page says the cost is per technician and shows only a "Request Pricing" button on three plans called Starter, Essentials and The Works. Housecall Pro and Jobber print their prices, so a two to ten person plumbing or electrical shop can budget them in five minutes, and ServiceTitan needs a sales call. This page shows what each vendor publishes as of October 30, 2026, the arithmetic for a small shop, and what none of them do after the invoice goes out.

What ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, Housecall Pro and Jobber publish

The honest summary is that two of the four tell you nothing until you talk to someone.

The Housecall Pro and Jobber figures were read from their pricing pages on October 25, 2026, and the full per-seat arithmetic is in our field service software pricing breakdown. ServiceTitan and FieldEdge were read on October 30, 2026. Neither lists a dollar figure.

How much does ServiceTitan cost for a small plumbing or electrical shop?

We cannot give you a number, and any article that does is quoting a sales call, a reseller or a guess. What the page does establish is the unit: you pay per technician. That matters for a small shop in one way. A bill that scales with technicians grows every time you hire a journeyman, while an office seat does not add a technician. Ask the rep three things before you compare it with anything else: the per-technician price at your headcount, whether onboarding and training are billed separately, and what the contract term and renewal uplift are.

Housecall Pro and Jobber are the opposite trade. The price is visible, but you pay by plan tier and by user, and Jobber's yearly rate is an introductory price that rises in year two. For a 5 user shop that is roughly $1,788 a year on Housecall Pro Essentials billed yearly, or $2,388 to $3,588 a year on Jobber billed monthly.

Is field service software enough, or do you need follow-up on top?

It is a record, not a chaser. The software knows the job, the customer and the invoice. It does not read last year's job list and notice the backflow tests due in March, it does not follow up a panel upgrade bid sent a week ago in your own voice, and it does not keep a list of permits that are waiting on an inspector. Those are the tasks that slip, and they are the ones that turn into revenue.

An AI agent works beside the software. Briefed once, it follows up every open bid at day two, seven and fourteen, drafts reminders on invoices past 30, 60 and 90 days, builds the annual test due list 45 days out, and writes a Friday report of what to chase. Everything is drafted for your approval. WorkAgent is a flat $149 a month or $888 billed yearly with no per-user fee, so it does not grow with headcount. The full job list is on our page about AI for plumbing and electrical contractors.

A worked example for a six person electrical shop

Take four electricians, an owner and one office person. That is six users. Housecall Pro Essentials covers five, so the shop steps to Max at $3,588 a year for eight users. On Jobber billed monthly, Grow at $299 a month covers five users and a sixth adds $29 a month, about $3,936 a year. On ServiceTitan the answer is whatever the rep quotes per technician times four. Add the agent at $888 a year and the stack is a known figure for the two published products. If the agent closes one extra panel upgrade bid that would have gone cold, it has paid for itself several times over. That is the test to run: count your open bids older than a week and multiply by your average job.

Which should a small shop buy first?

• One to three people: a published-price tool such as Housecall Pro Basic or Jobber Core, plus the agent for follow-up. Skip a sales process you do not need.
• Four to ten people with dispatch pain: price Housecall Pro Max and Jobber Grow against a ServiceTitan quote. Ask for the quote in writing before you decide.
• Any size with money stuck in bids and receivables: fix the follow-up first. Software does not close a bid that nobody asked about.

Does ServiceTitan publish its pricing?

No. Its pricing page names three plans, Starter, Essentials and The Works, says pricing is per technician, and offers a Request Pricing button on each plan. No dollar figure appears, so you need a sales conversation to get a number.

Is Housecall Pro or Jobber cheaper for a plumber?

For one user Jobber Core at $49 a month billed monthly undercuts Housecall Pro Basic at $59 billed yearly. At five users, Housecall Pro Essentials at $149 a month billed yearly beats Jobber Grow at $299 a month billed monthly. Jobber's annual discount narrows the gap in year one only.

Can an AI agent replace field service software for electricians?

No. Scheduling, dispatch, invoicing and payments stay in the software. The agent covers bid follow-up, collections, permit tracking and renewal reminders from the software's exports and your inbox, which is the work the software leaves to a busy office.

Once the software is chosen, the next job most owners hit is turning the QuickBooks export into a P&L they can read, which an AI financial statement generator does from the same bookkeeping file.
