ServiceTitan is enterprise-grade field service software; Jobber is mid-market. Neither was built for commercial cleaning — here's whether either makes sense for a cleaning business, and when both are simply overkill for the job. Jobber ratings on ease of use sit well ahead of enterprise tools like ServiceTitan — our review covers where that reputation holds up for cleaning teams.

For most cleaning businesses, neither is the right long-term fit — but between the two, Jobber is the far more accessible option. ServiceTitan is built for larger HVAC, plumbing, and electrical operations running complex multi-crew dispatch, with quote-only pricing that typically only pencils out above 10 technicians and several million in revenue. Jobber is lighter, publishes its pricing, and is usable at almost any size — but it's still a general home-services tool, not built for cleaning specifically. For cleaning teams that need software built for the work, the jobber alternatives purpose-built for commercial cleaning are the more relevant comparison.
| Tool | Pricing model | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Jobber | Published, per-seat — from $49/mo | Small-to-mid home-services teams, mixed trades |
| ServiceTitan | Quote-only, per-technician | Larger HVAC/plumbing/electrical, 10+ techs, complex dispatch |
| ProTeams | Free Forever, or $79/mo by team, unlimited sites | Commercial cleaning proof of service & real-time crew visibility |
ServiceTitan is enterprise field-service management software built for larger commercial and residential trades — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, refrigeration, fire & life safety, and similar service contractors.
It markets itself as usable "at any size" and cites over 100,000 contractors on the platform, but its pricing and positioning tell a different story in practice: ServiceTitan doesn't publish pricing anywhere — it's quote-only, priced per technician, with a separate implementation fee on top. Commercial cleaning and janitorial services aren't listed among its supported trades at all.
Jobber is mid-market field-service management software for home-services businesses — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, landscaping, and cleaning among them — with published pricing and a much lighter footprint than ServiceTitan.
Jobber prices per seat across four tiers: Core at $49/month for a single user, Connect at $199/month for up to 5 users, Grow at $399/month for up to 10 users, and Plus at $699/month for up to 15 users, with extra users billed at $29/month each over the cap. There's no free plan, but there is a 14-day trial, and QuickBooks/Xero sync are included from Connect and up. The complete Jobber monthly pricing breakdown — including the fees the sticker rate leaves out — is worth a look before you compare.
ServiceTitan doesn't publish pricing, so figures below are third-party estimates from published pricing breakdowns, not ServiceTitan's own quoted numbers.
| Plan | Jobber | ServiceTitan |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing transparency | Published, four tiers | Not published — quote-only |
| Entry cost | Core — $49/mo, 1 user | ~$245–$300/tech/mo (Starter, per third-party estimates) |
| Mid-tier cost | Grow — $399/mo, up to 10 users | ~$300–$400/tech/mo (Essentials, estimated) |
| Top-tier cost | Plus — $699/mo, up to 15 users | ~$400–$500/tech/mo (The Works, estimated) |
| Implementation fee | None — self-serve setup | ~$5,000–$50,000+ (estimated, size-dependent) |
| Free plan / trial | No free plan — 14-day trial | No free plan — demo/quote process |
| Time to go live | Self-serve, typically days | Reported 2–12 months for full onboarding |
A 10-person crew on Jobber's Grow plan runs a flat $399/month with no setup fee. The same headcount on ServiceTitan, at estimated per-technician rates, can run several thousand dollars a month before implementation costs are even factored in — which is the gap that makes ServiceTitan hard to justify below a certain size.
Generic "Jobber vs ServiceTitan" comparisons score dispatch complexity across HVAC and plumbing. This table filters for what a commercial cleaning operation specifically needs.
| Feature | Jobber | ServiceTitan | ProTeams |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built for cleaning/janitorial as a trade | Supported, not specialized | Not listed as a supported trade | Purpose-built for commercial cleaning |
| Recurring job scheduling (daily/weekly contracts) | Yes — recurring jobs | Yes — recurring service plans (maintenance-contract focused) | Yes — every plan |
| Client-facing proof of service | No janitorial workflow | No janitorial workflow | Yes — every plan, incl. free |
| Multi-crew / multi-site dispatch | General scheduling calendar | Strong — built for complex fleet dispatch | Site- and shift-based, built for multi-site |
| Cleaning checklists / task verification | Generic job checklists | Generic job forms, not cleaning-specific | Task-level, GPS-tagged photo verification |
| GPS check-in / geofencing | Time tracking, GPS waypoints | Fleet GPS tracking, built for large tech fleets | Geofenced check-in, every paid plan |
| Mobile app for field cleaners | iOS + Android | iOS + Android | iOS + Android, every plan |
| Setup / implementation | Self-serve, typically days | Guided onboarding, reported 2–12 months | Self-serve or guided, no implementation fee |
Yes, for most. ServiceTitan itself has stated it isn't optimized for companies with 3 or fewer technicians, and third-party pricing analyses put the realistic threshold for it to pencil out at roughly 10+ technicians and $2–3 million or more in annual revenue — below that, the per-technician fees and implementation cost are difficult to justify against lighter tools.
Most commercial cleaning operations — even sizable ones with 15–20 field cleaners — fall well under that threshold, especially since ServiceTitan isn't built around cleaning-specific work in the first place. It doesn't list commercial cleaning or janitorial among its supported trades, so you'd be paying enterprise implementation costs to adapt a tool built for HVAC and plumbing dispatch to a job it wasn't designed for.
Neither Jobber nor ServiceTitan was designed around proving cleaning service to a client — that's simply not the job either was built for. A tool built for cleaning specifically, like ProTeams or Swept, solves the actual problem a cleaning operator has — proof of service, inspections, multi-site crew visibility — at a fraction of ServiceTitan's cost and setup time, without the multi-month enterprise implementation.
ProTeams specifically prices by team with unlimited sites rather than per seat or per technician: a Free Forever plan to start, and paid plans from $79/month with proof of service included on every tier, no implementation fee, and no sales-quote process to get a number.
