Field service software pricing, compared

Birdy is listed first as our pick for owner-run home service companies where several people in the office answer leads. Published entry prices elsewhere run from about $29 to $99 a month for one user, but a company with a few trucks usually pays $200 to $400 a month before card fees. Jobber, Housecall Pro, QuoteIQ, GorillaDesk, Markate and ResponsiBid publish prices; Workiz, FieldPulse and ServiceTitan quote on request.

By the Birdy team · Facts checked

We make Birdy and sell it, so this page is not neutral: Birdy is listed first because it is our pick for owner-run home service companies, especially where several people in the office answer leads. Every price for another product is copied from that company's own website on November 12, 2026 (links under Sources), unless it is labelled as a third-party estimate. Prices change; check the vendor's page before you decide.

What to look for

  • Per user, per route or flat

    Some charge by team size, some by route, some per employee. Price it at your real headcount, crews included.

  • Which plan has what you need

    Service plans, texting and route optimization are often on the second or third plan, not the one on the banner.

  • Billing terms

    Annual prepay is cheaper; month to month costs more but you can leave. Some monthly plans still hold you for a year.

  • Add-ons

    Pipelines, AI answering, phone systems and marketing are often extra.

  • Card fees

    At real volume the processing rate costs more than the software. Compare it.

Where Birdy fits

A good fit when

  • Everyone in the company signs in, and you do not want each new crew member to change your plan.
  • Several people in the office answer leads and you want each lead owned and timed.
  • You want every feature on every plan, with no add-on for the lead pipeline.

Look elsewhere when

  • You want to take card payments today: card payments are coming, and invoices are marked paid by hand until then.
  • You want a published price you can start on tonight: Birdy opens accounts a few companies at a time.
  • You want phone calls, AI answering or route optimization inside the software.

What would a 3-truck, 8-person company pay?

Take a company with 3 trucks and 8 people who sign in (office, sales and crew), selling recurring plans, wanting to text customers, and taking $25,000 a month by card. Here is the cheapest published plan that fits on each product, as of November 12, 2026.

Why do some vendors not publish prices?

Workiz, FieldPulse and ServiceTitan sell through a demo and a quote. They say pricing depends on your seats, contract term and add-ons. That is a fair way to sell, but it means you cannot compare them without asking each for the same written quote: the price per user or technician, every one-time fee, the add-ons in it, the contract length and how you export your data if you leave.

Why are card fees so important?

Because they grow with your sales. At $25,000 a month by card, a 2.9% rate is $725 a month, more than most plans cost. A tenth of a point on the rate is $25 a month at that volume.
