Best starting points
Scheduling software for a 1–10 person crew
If you have one to ten people and the schedule still lives in texts, start with tools that say they handle quotes, the board, and invoices. Three of the four below publish a price. ServiceTitan does not. This is not a ranking and nobody paid for the order.

Its pricing page lists online booking, scheduling and dispatch, quotes, invoices and payments, a price book, and review management, and its FAQ names HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, landscaping, and similar trades. | Kickserv says it helps service businesses manage customers, schedule jobs, and get paid. The homepage lists customer records, estimates, jobs, invoices, a mobile app, and integrations including QuickBooks and Stripe. | ServiceTitan describes its software as an all-in-one platform for home and commercial contractors, covering service visits and construction projects. The pricing page lists dispatching, call recording, marketing statistics, checklists, reporting, estimates, and GPS for technicians who are en route. It does not publish a price. |
| Published price | From $29/mo, billed annuallyOn Jobber’s pricing page, Core for 1 user is listed at $49/mo with no commitment, $39/mo on a 1-year commitment, and $29/mo when billed annually. Extra users are listed at $29/mo each. Connect, Grow, and Plus cost more and change with user count. Introductory discounts are also shown. Confirm the total before you buy. | Basic from $59/mo, billed annuallyHousecall Pro’s pricing page lists Basic at $59/mo billed annually. Essentials includes 5 users and Max includes 8 users, then $35/mo per additional user on Max. We did not rely on a second source for the Essentials and Max dollar amounts, so confirm those on the pricing page. The vendor says the trial is 14 days and that plans are not a long-term contract. Card processing is listed as low as 2.59%. | From $60/moKickserv’s homepage lists three annual plans: Start at $60/mo for 5 users, Run at $119/mo for 10 users, and Scale at $199/mo for 20 users. The page says to see the pricing page for details. | See siteServiceTitan’s pricing page asks you to book a demo. It does not list a dollar amount. The vendor says pricing is chosen per business. |
| Our note | A practical first look for a 1–10 person home-service shop that wants quoting, the schedule, and invoices in one login, and that wants to see the price before booking a demo. | Worth opening next to Jobber if you want booking, payments, and reviews in the same product and you like seeing a published starting price. | One of the few field-service tools that prints a small-team price on the homepage. Compare the included user counts with Jobber and Housecall Pro before you decide. | Look here when the shop is large enough to sit through a sales process. It is a poor first click for a solo operator who wants a price on the website tonight. |

What to do with this
Get prices in writing for the user count you have today, not the crew you hope to have in three years. Then ask each vendor whether your techs can invoice from the phone without calling the office.
