Declared bias: we build on ServiceM8
FFP Digital is a ServiceM8 developer and builds add-ons, forms and reports for Australian trade businesses that run it, so we have an obvious reason to prefer it. We have taken ServiceTitan's own pricing page at face value rather than guessing at figures it does not publish, and we say so plainly below.
We do not earn a commission from either vendor for this page.
Why there is no price table on this page
Search engines pair these two names because both are job and dispatch software for trade businesses, but they are not really priced or positioned the same way. ServiceM8's Australian pricing page lists five plans by monthly job volume, from Free through to Premium Plus at $349, with figures anyone can read without talking to sales.
ServiceTitan's pricing page shows three packages, Starter, Essentials and The Works, but every one carries a Request Pricing button instead of a dollar figure. Its own stated model is "per technician pricing... designed to fit your business and goals, at any size," which means the number depends entirely on a sales conversation. We searched ServiceTitan's pricing page for any mention of Australia and found none, so we are not going to invent an AUD figure or an AU availability claim that its own site does not make.
Who each one is actually built for
ServiceTitan's pricing page is built around call handling, dispatching and marketing at a scale most sole trader or small crew Australian businesses would not need day to day: it lists intuitive dispatching, call recording, adaptive marketing, automated checklists, in depth reporting and what it calls modern customer service as its core capabilities. That feature list, and the per technician sales model behind it, points to larger multi truck home service contractors, the kind of business ServiceTitan is best known for in the US market.
ServiceM8 is built for a different shape of business: sole traders up to mid sized crews who want a published price, unlimited users on every paid plan, and a field app that keeps working without signal. If you are an Australian trade business comparing the two because they showed up in the same search, the more useful question is usually whether you are shopping in ServiceTitan's category at all, not which one is cheaper.
What to do if you still want a ServiceTitan number
If your business is large enough that ServiceTitan's feature list genuinely applies, the only way to get a real figure is to book the sales call it directs you to and ask for the same things you would ask simPRO for a quote only tool: the per technician rate, what package tier that covers, any onboarding or data migration fee, and the contract length. None of that sits on the public page, so treat a verbal number from a sales call as a starting point to negotiate, not a fixed price.
Common complaints and catches
ServiceM8
- Sync failures and occasional crashes in the field app
- Missing features such as camera roll photos and an iPad dispatch board
- Support routed to chat and third party developers
- Paying a plan fee to keep access to old invoices
ServiceTitan
- Long term contracts reviewers say are hard to exit
- A price that reviewers describe as high relative to smaller job management tools
- A steep setup and training curve for new staff
- Sales and onboarding reviewers describe as heavily geared toward larger operations
Switching between them
There is no documented migration path between ServiceM8 and ServiceTitan on either vendor's site, and the two are rarely swapped between directly given how differently they are sold. If you move from ServiceTitan to ServiceM8, treat it as a fresh setup: export customers and price list items where ServiceTitan allows it, and plan to rebuild job templates, checklists and reporting in ServiceM8's own tools rather than expecting a direct import.
