How to Decide
Choose Jobber when:
When your HVAC business wants low, predictable cost and can live without a flat-rate book.
Choose ServiceTitan when:
When your HVAC business sells from a flat-rate book, tracks inventory, and is heading past 20 technicians.
Critical question to ask yourself:
“Will you cross 20 techs within 18 months? That is roughly where ServiceTitan's per-tech cost pays back.”
