ServiceTitan vs FieldEdge

What each one delivers

Everything in this table comes from the vendors' own pages. Scan the "—" cells first: a feature one side doesn't claim, or locks behind a top tier, usually shortens this comparison faster than anything else.

The differences that matter

Two ways of hiding the price

  • FieldEdge hides the numbers but publishes the map. Its full tier-by-tier feature matrix is public: Select, Premier and Elite with 2, 4 and 6 mobile licences included. You know exactly what you're negotiating for before the call.
  • ServiceTitan publishes neither. Three tier names, per-technician billing, an unpriced Pro add-on layer (Pricebook, Marketing, Dispatch), and an implementation fee that's widely reported but never printed. The reported prices below are the only public numbers.

Beyond the price question

  • Flat-rate pricing. Native in FieldEdge on the entry tier, the only vendor in our database that ships it there. ServiceTitan sells Pricebook Pro as a paid add-on.
  • QuickBooks Desktop. FieldEdge treats Desktop as a first-class path on every tier, the most Desktop-native platform we track. ServiceTitan's own pages don't confirm Desktop support, though its electrical pages name Desktop Premier and Enterprise.
  • Where ServiceTitan justifies its weight: commercial service-agreement automation, per-job costing, and the only Sage Intacct export in our set, which matters when the office runs on a mid-market ERP rather than QuickBooks.
  • Scale. FieldEdge fits 5-to-20-tech shops; ServiceTitan starts making sense past ten techs and won't accept referral shops under three. Below that size, both are the wrong page.

What each one costs

List prices before add-ons. Where a vendor publishes nothing, we show what shops report paying instead.

What shops report paying ServiceTitan

The pattern across reports: several hundred dollars per tech per month, with five-figure setup costs at larger shops.

Who each one is best for

When ServiceTitan is the right choice

You're scaling past ten techs into heavy commercial work: agreement automation, per-job costing and the Sage Intacct path are the reasons to accept per-tech pricing and an implementation project.

When FieldEdge is the right choice

You're a five-to-twenty-tech shop on QuickBooks Desktop that sells flat-rate every day and wants it native on the entry tier, with a published feature matrix telling you exactly which tier to negotiate for.

Which of these features do you actually need?

  • Flat-rate pricing matters if it's how you quote daily; native entry-tier at FieldEdge, a paid add-on at ServiceTitan.
  • QuickBooks Desktop matters as a filter: first-class at FieldEdge on every tier, unconfirmed on ServiceTitan's own pages.
  • Job costing and agreements at commercial depth matter for contract-heavy shops; that's the ServiceTitan case.
  • A published tier matrix matters when you negotiate: knowing Select from Premier from Elite beats guessing at three unnamed tiers.
