Which one is for you

Pick FieldRoutes if

  • Fits if you run recurring routes for pest or lawn customers and want them auto-planned
  • Works for firms already using ServiceTitan marketing or fleet products

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you need a price, because both packages say Request Pricing
  • Not for you if you want a self-serve trial, as there isn't one
  • Too light for quoting and job costing, which the listing doesn't show
  • Watch out: the pages we read don't say which phones the mobile app runs on

Pick Service Autopilot if

  • Fits if you run a lawn care or cleaning business and are happy to pay for a year up front
  • Works for firms that want job costing next to scheduling

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you want to leave: the prices are for annual rates and downgrades happen at the end of the contract
  • Pricey if you want texting, QuickBooks or the client portal, which are Elite features or add-ons
  • Watch out: every plan carries a sign-up fee, and its amount isn't shown on the pricing page
  • Watch out: each plan includes a set number of licences, 1 business and 1 mobile on Startup

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
