Field Service Scheduling Software Showdown: What $99/Month Actually Gets You in 2026

Let’s talk about something that drives me crazy.

You go to a field service software website. You see flashy features. Big promises. Happy customers in stock photos.

But no price.

Just a “Contact Sales” button that leads to a 30-minute demo where someone tries to sell you a $300/month plan.

The Pricing Game Nobody Wins

Here’s what usually happens when you shop for field service scheduling software in 2026:

ServiceTitan? Call for pricing. (Spoiler: It’s expensive. Think $300-$500+ per user.)

Housecall Pro? Starts around $49/month but quickly jumps to $169/month when you need actual features.

Jobber? $129 to $349/month depending on team size.

FieldEdge? Custom pricing. (Translation: If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.)

Notice a pattern? Either they hide the price completely or they hook you with a low tier that’s basically useless.

What $99/Month Actually Gets You

We’re not playing that game.

Valortek is $99/month. Period. No hidden fees. No surprise charges when you add your third team member. No “oh, you need integrations? That’s an extra $50/month.”

Here’s what you get:

Full scheduling system. Drag and drop. Recurring jobs. Multi-day projects. Route optimization. All the stuff you actually need.

Customer management. Contact history. Job notes. Equipment tracking. Photos and files.

Invoicing and payments. Send invoices. Take payments. Track what’s paid and what’s outstanding.

Mobile app for your techs. They see their schedule. They update job status. They take photos. They collect signatures. All from their phone.

Real-time updates. Office sees what techs are doing. Techs see schedule changes immediately.

Basic reporting. Revenue. Job completion rates. Tech performance. The numbers that matter.

Email and SMS notifications. Automated reminders for customers. Job confirmations. Payment receipts.

That’s not a stripped-down version. That’s the full platform.

The Honest Comparison

Let me break down what you’re actually comparing when you look at the big players.

ServiceTitan ($300-500+/user/month)

Yes, it’s powerful. Enterprise-grade. Built for companies with 50+ techs.

But here’s the thing: most small field service businesses don’t need enterprise software. They need something that works. Something their team will actually use.

ServiceTitan has every feature imaginable. You’ll use maybe 20% of them.

We built Valortek to focus on the 20% you’ll actually use every day.

Housecall Pro ($169/month for Professional tier)

Their entry tier looks cheap at $49/month. But it caps you at 2,500 jobs per year and one user.

Once you’re actually running a business, you need the Professional plan at $169/month. And that’s still limiting you to 10,000 jobs annually.

Our $99/month has no job caps. No user limits. You grow, the price stays the same.

Jobber ($129-349/month)

Solid product. Good mobile app. But their pricing tiers are confusing.

You start at $129/month for the “Connect” plan. But you can’t do GPS tracking or advanced reporting. Those are on the “Grow” plan at $249/month.

Want custom workflows? That’s the “Manage” tier at $349/month.

We give you everything in one plan. No upgrades. No “unlock this feature for just $100 more per month.”

FieldEdge and ServiceTitan (Custom Pricing)

When a company won’t tell you the price, it’s because the price is high.

These platforms are built for big operations. Multiple locations. Complex workflows. Integration with heavy-duty accounting systems.

If that’s you, great. But if you’re running a 3-10 person operation, you’re paying for a Ferrari when you need a pickup truck.

The Hidden Costs Nobody Talks About

Here’s what really gets expensive with the big platforms:

Implementation fees. Some charge $1,000-5,000 just to set up your account.

Training costs. When software is complicated, you need training. That’s billable hours.

Integration charges. Want to connect to QuickBooks? That’ll be extra. Stripe? Extra. Your phone system? Extra.

Per-user fees. Most platforms charge per user. So if you have 5 techs and 2 office staff, you’re paying 7x the base price.

Storage limits. Upload too many photos and files? Pay more for storage.

SMS and email charges. Some platforms nickel and dime you for every text message sent to customers.

We don’t do any of that.

$99/month is $99/month. Unlimited users. Unlimited jobs. Unlimited storage. SMS and email included.

Who This Is Actually For

Let’s be honest about who should use Valortek versus who should use something else.

Valortek is perfect for:

Small to mid-size field service businesses. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, locksmiths, appliance repair, pest control, cleaning services.

Teams of 1-20 people who need solid scheduling, dispatching, and invoicing without enterprise complexity.

Business owners who want software that works out of the box. Not software that requires a consultant to set up.

People who are tired of paying $300/month for features they never use.

Valortek might not be for you if:

You’re running a 100+ person operation across multiple states. (You probably need ServiceTitan.)

You need deep integration with legacy enterprise systems. (You probably need something custom.)

You have extremely specific workflow requirements that need custom development. (You probably need a dedicated dev team.)

We’re not trying to be everything to everyone. We’re trying to be the best option for the vast majority of field service businesses.

The Real Question

Here’s what it comes down to:

Do you want to pay $200-500/month for software that has every possible feature, most of which you’ll never touch?

Or do you want to pay $99/month for software that does everything you actually need, works on day one, and doesn’t nickel and dime you as you grow?

We built Valortek because we were tired of the same old game.

Complicated software. Hidden pricing. Sales calls that waste your time. Contracts that lock you in.

No complicated tiers. No hidden fees. Just simple, honest pricing for software that works.

You get full scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, payments, mobile apps for your techs, and customer management. Everything you need to run your field service business.

$99/month. That’s it.

Try it for free. No credit card required. No pressure.

If it works for you, great. If not, no hard feelings.
