Service Fusion vs EstimateKit in three numbers before the details.
Service Fusion positions itself as enterprise-level software at a mid-market price. With unlimited users and features like GPS fleet tracking, VoIP integration, and comprehensive job management, it's designed for growing service companies with multiple trucks and technicians.
Unlimited users is genuinely attractive; most competitors charge per user. But starting at $208/month on an annual contract ($245 billed monthly), Service Fusion assumes you have enough scale to justify that investment. The platform is comprehensive, which also means it's complex. Implementation takes 2-4 weeks, and your team needs real training to use it effectively.
For HVAC contractors focused on running a lean operation, Service Fusion's depth becomes a distraction. You're paying for GPS tracking, inventory management, and VoIP integration when what you really need is a complete platform for estimates, customers, and jobs.
EstimateKit costs a fifth of Service Fusion's monthly entry price and covers what a small shop runs on: good, better, best quotes the customer signs on their phone, jobs, invoices, maintenance plans and equipment records. The honest trade: our users stop at 25, theirs don't.

Service Fusion vs EstimateKit features. Side by side.
When Service Fusion is genuinely the right call.
Service Fusion makes sense for HVAC companies with 5-15 trucks that need fleet management and GPS tracking. Unlimited users becomes economical when you have 10+ people who need system access—Jobber charges $29 per additional user, and Housecall Pro $75 to $100.
If you're managing significant inventory with parts ordering and tracking requirements, Service Fusion's inventory features add real value. The VoIP integration helps companies that want to track and record customer calls.
Growing companies that anticipate scaling from 5 to 20+ employees over the next few years may appreciate "growing into" Service Fusion's features rather than outgrowing simpler tools. The key question is whether you need comprehensive operations management or focused estimating tools—because Service Fusion does the former much better than the latter.
Service Fusion pros and cons. What's good, what isn't.
Why shops switch. Every one of these is on the $49 plan.
Every quote carries good, better and best options from your own price book. Send it by email or text it from your phone; they choose, sign on their phone, and you get a notification.
$49 a month covers up to 25 people, with owner, office and technician roles. Hiring your next tech doesn't change the bill.
Approval creates the job with the chosen option, a deposit invoice if you take one, and the final invoice when the job is done. Payments and balances stay on the same record.
Maintenance plans lay out the visits for the year, remind the customer when a tune-up is due and before renewal. Equipment records keep model, serial, age and a photo of the data plate.
Techs build and edit quotes with no signal; it syncs when they're back in the truck. Nothing gets overwritten without asking.
Send your supplier price sheet during the trial and we'll load your price book and build the first real quote with you. Free, on the same $49 plan.
EstimateKit takes a home service shop from the quote the customer signs to the invoice they pay, with maintenance plans and equipment records, for $49 a month for up to 25 people.
Where EstimateKit comes up short. Better you hear it from us.
Quotes and invoices can be texted from your own phone in one tap, and reminders go by email. We don't run two-way texting or automated text messages.
It runs in the browser on any phone, installs to the home screen, and works with no signal. The store apps are built and in review.
There's a dispatch board with a map and a crew calendar with a tech on every job. Live truck tracking, route optimization and call tracking aren't built.
Customers pay by card from the invoice link, and you can keep a card on file. Tap-to-pay on a phone and financing offers on a quote aren't built.
Customers, invoices and payments copy into QuickBooks Online. QuickBooks Desktop and changes made in QuickBooks aren't synced back, and US automatic sales tax is coming soon.
Past 25 people on one account, this isn't the tool for you.
Service Fusion vs EstimateKit cost: a year of each. Same crew, same work.
