What the pricing really means
At first glance, FieldPulse looks cheaper at $89/month vs $399/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where FieldPulse wins
- Pricebooks, customer portal, GPS tracking, and inventory in one platform. You get 80% of ServiceTitan features at maybe half the price
- Support team picks up the phone and actually fixes things. Multiple owners report same-day resolution for billing and scheduling bugs
- Mobile app handles GPS-tagged time entries and photo uploads well. Field techs can clock in, attach job photos, and log parts from the truck
- Flat monthly pricing instead of per-tech billing makes it cheaper than ServiceTitan once you hit 5+ techs
Where Sera wins
- Dynamic Dispatcher automatically assigns the right tech based on capability, availability, and priority
- Customer Hub lets homeowners book, manage, and pay for services directly online
- Built specifically for residential trades with a focus on protecting margins and profitability
- Clean, user-friendly interface with minimal learning curve compared to ServiceTitan
Where FieldPulse falls short
- No public pricing. You have to sit through a sales demo to get a quote, which wastes time if you are just comparing options
- Interface is cluttered with nested menus. New users often click the wrong module because labels look similar
- GPS fleet tracking costs extra: roughly $30/vehicle/month through Azuga on top of your base subscription
- Multi-location management locked behind the Enterprise tier, so single-location shops pay for features they cannot access
Where Sera falls short
- Starting at $399/month is expensive for very small operations with 1-2 techs
- Limited integration options compared to platforms like Zuper or Jobber
- Data migration from previous systems is problematic with information not carrying over cleanly
- Scheduling has limitations on appointment management and technician capacity
Who is each product built for?
FieldPulse
Target: 2-15 technicians
Buy FieldPulse if you have 3-15 techs and want pricebooks, inventory, and GPS without ServiceTitan pricing. It packs a lot into one platform. Skip if you value a clean, simple interface, because the feature density makes the UI feel crowded compared to Jobber or Housecall Pro.
Sera
Target: 3-20 technicians
Sera is purpose-built for residential HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors who want automated dispatching and margin protection without the complexity of ServiceTitan. The $399/month starting price makes it impractical for solo operators. It works best for shops with 3-15 techs that want to stop manually dispatching and start tracking profitability per job.
