ServiceTitan vs EstimateKit in three numbers before the details.
If you searched "ServiceTitan cost" and felt your stomach drop, you're in good company. The industry's most-marketed software has no public price at all (checked September 2026). Third-party estimates put it at $245 to $500 per technician per month, and ServiceTitan's own filings show about $89,000 per customer per year on average. That's before add-ons and implementation costs that can push the real number even higher.
Here's the catch for a small shop: you're paying for marketing automation, advanced fleet GPS, inventory management, and financing integrations that most small-to-mid-size contractors will never configure, let alone use daily. It's like buying a commercial truck to pick up groceries.
The math is brutal. A 3-tech shop at $245 to $500 per technician pays $8,800 to $18,000 per year. Over three years, that's $26,000 to $54,000 in software costs alone. For a contractor doing $500K-$1M in annual revenue, that's 0.9-3.6% of gross revenue going to one software tool.
EstimateKit was built for the shops that don't need (or can't justify) enterprise pricing. At $49/month with no contracts, you get professional estimates with Good/Better/Best options from your own price book, customer records with equipment and data-plate photos, job scheduling on a calendar, invoices and maintenance plans. That's $588 over a year vs $8,800+ for a 3-tech shop on the low estimate, about $8,200 a year kept.
The question isn't whether ServiceTitan is powerful—it is. The question is whether your 3-truck business needs a software platform that, on third-party estimates, costs $8,800 to $18,000 a year and was built for 50-truck enterprises. For most contractors, the answer is no. And the $8,000+ you save every year goes straight to your bottom line.

ServiceTitan vs EstimateKit features. Side by side.
When ServiceTitan is genuinely the right call.
ServiceTitan genuinely makes sense for a specific type of company. If you're running 15-20+ trucks with dedicated office staff, a full-time dispatcher, and revenue north of $3-5 million annually, ServiceTitan's advanced features start to justify the cost. The dispatch optimization alone can save a 20-truck fleet significant fuel and labor costs.
Companies with dedicated marketing budgets benefit from ServiceTitan's call tracking and campaign attribution. If you're spending $10,000+/month on advertising, knowing which ads generate calls is valuable. The financing integrations (GreenSky, Hearth) can increase close rates on high-ticket installations.
If you have a dedicated admin person who can spend 4-8 weeks on implementation and manage the system ongoing, the complexity becomes manageable. Large operations with formal processes and dedicated roles get the most value.
But for the solo installer, the 3-person crew, or even the 10-technician operation? You're paying enterprise prices for a tool designed for enterprises. EstimateKit gives you professional estimates, customer management, and job scheduling at $49/month, a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the complexity. And you can start the same day.

PRICES CHECKED 2026-09-21
