What the pricing really means
At first glance, ServiceTrade looks cheaper at $75/month vs $89/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 ServiceTrade wins
- Photo and video documentation attached to service records creates compelling evidence for repair quotes
- Deficiency tracking turns inspection findings into upsell opportunities automatically
- Office user licenses are free so you only pay for field technician seats
- Won Capterra Best Ease of Use across seven categories in 2026
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 ServiceTrade falls short
- Starting at $75 per tech per month adds up quickly for larger teams
- No online booking since commercial clients typically do not self-schedule
- Integration issues can occasionally hinder performance according to some users
- No inventory management so you need a separate system for parts tracking
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.
ServiceTrade
Target: 5-100+ technicians
ServiceTrade excels at helping commercial contractors document their work and convert deficiencies into repair quotes. The photo and video capabilities are genuinely differentiated from competitors. If your business model relies on inspections that lead to repair proposals, this is the platform to evaluate. Residential contractors and companies that need inventory tracking should look elsewhere.
