of negative HVAC reviews caused by delayed dispatch
THE PROBLEM
Dispatching and real-time job visibility.
Manual dispatching leads to delayed services driving 55% of negative customer reviews for HVAC alone. The gap between Housecall Pro ($59–149/month, too simple) and ServiceTitan ($4,000–6,000/month, too expensive) is where most 5–15 tech operations fall, and have nowhere to land.
THE SOLUTION
The "Missing Middle" Field Operations Platform
GPS-tracked dispatching with smart routing, tech check-in/check-out with automatic time capture, on-site estimate generation with instant customer approval, and job completion that triggers the invoice and review request.
THE COMPARISON
How we compare
ServiceTitan costs $50–70K/year. Housecall Pro eliminated human support entirely. We sit in the exact gap between them: a real dispatching and invoicing system for 5–15 techs at a price that makes sense.
ServiceTitan
$4,000–$6,000/mo
Inaccessible for companies under $5M revenue. Built for residential only.
Housecall Pro
$59–$149/mo
Eliminated human support in 2025 (AI chatbot only). Cost creep from add-ons. Critical features break.
Jobber
$39–$249/mo
Basic reporting. Tops out at 15 users on published plans.
FieldPulse
~$60–$120/user/mo
Limited brand recognition. Smaller ecosystem.
Service Fusion
~$166–$339/mo
Mid-range but not differentiated enough to justify cost.
★Banana Blueprint
$125 – $850/mo
Full system. No limitations.

ServiceTitan costs $50K/year. Housecall Pro killed its support team. You deserve better options.
If you run 5–15 techs, the software industry has two answers for you: spend $50,000/year on a system built for enterprise, or spend $149/month on a tool that eliminated human support and breaks when you need it most. We built the third option. Real dispatching with real-time job visibility. Techs check in from the field and customers get automatic updates. No enterprise pricing. No chatbot-only support.
