What the pricing really means
Both mHelpDesk and ServiceTitan use custom pricing, which means you need to talk to sales. In our experience, custom pricing usually means the product is targeting larger operations and the monthly cost will be higher than products with published prices. Ask specifically about total year-one cost, including setup, onboarding, and training.
Where mHelpDesk wins
- Online booking lets customers schedule directly without calling your office
- HomeAdvisor integration brings in leads from their network
- Basic inventory tracking included
- Decent mobile app for field work
Where ServiceTitan wins
- Dispatch board handles multi-day jobs and crew splits without extra workarounds. Your dispatcher can drag jobs across days and techs in one view
- Pricebook with Good/Better/Best presentation mode lets techs upsell at the door: average ticket jumps 15-25% for shops that actually use it
- Built-in marketing tracks ROI per ad source, so you know exactly which Google Ads campaign brought in that $8,000 HVAC install
- Reporting drills down to revenue per tech, per job type, per zip code. Owners running 20+ trucks live in these dashboards
Where mHelpDesk falls short
- Acquired by HomeAdvisor/Angi, and product development has slowed
- No transparent pricing, must contact sales
- Limited reporting compared to newer competitors
- Fewer integrations than Housecall Pro or Jobber
Where ServiceTitan falls short
- Pricing runs roughly $300/month per tech: a 10-tech shop pays $36K+/year before add-ons like phone integration or marketing pro
- Onboarding takes 2-3 months minimum. Your office manager will basically have a second job during that stretch
- Annual contract only, no month-to-month. If you want to leave mid-year, you are paying out the remainder
- A 3-truck plumbing shop does not need this. You will pay enterprise prices and use maybe 40% of the features
Who is each product built for?
mHelpDesk
Target: 1-20 technicians
mHelpDesk used to be a solid pick for small shops, but since the HomeAdvisor acquisition, development has stalled. The online booking and HomeAdvisor lead integration are nice, but Housecall Pro and Jobber have moved ahead on features, mobile experience, and support. Hard to recommend over the top competitors unless you are already locked in.
ServiceTitan
Target: 15-500+ technicians
Buy ServiceTitan if you run 15+ trucks and want dispatch, marketing, pricebooks, and reporting in one place. Skip if you have under 10 techs, because you will spend $36K/year on features your office manager never opens.
