How we grade them
| 1.6GPAServiceCoreWeak | 1.8GPAServiceTitanWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published. A rep quotes per truck, on an annual contract plus an implementation fee, so there is nothing to compare. | CNo price is published: Starter, Essentials and The Works are priced per technician after a demo, so there's no figure for a crew of three. With nothing to compare, that's a C by our rule, and AI, contact centre and fleet tools cost extra on top. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial on record, and nothing is priced until you talk to a rep. | FNo free plan, no free trial and no self-serve sign-up. Buying starts with a sales demo, so there's no way to try it on your own. |
| Features | CCustomer and job records, routing, billing, inventory and a driver app. The customer portal, SMS and Pro reports need the Pro plan. | BCall booking with recording, a dispatch board, a shared pricebook, on-site estimates, memberships, invoicing, payroll, commissions and ad tracking that ties spend to revenue, plus an offline field app. It covers the whole job. |

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.
