Best ServiceTitan Alternative 2026
Enterprise-grade scheduling intelligence without the enterprise price tag.
ServiceTitan dominates the enterprise field service space, offering dispatching, pricebook management, marketing automation, and deep reporting for large HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies. But that power comes at a staggering cost—$200 to over $500 per month—with mandatory onboarding fees and long-term contracts that can total thousands before you book your first job. For small to mid-size service businesses, ServiceTitan is overkill and overpriced. SchedulingKit provides the scheduling intelligence and CRM that actually drive revenue—AI chatbot booking so clients can self-schedule anytime, an AI receptionist that answers calls and books appointments, smart calendar optimization, and a CRM that tracks every client touchpoint. All of this starts free, with paid plans from $12/month. You get the booking and client management capabilities that matter most, without the six-figure annual commitment.

Switching from ServiceTitan? FAQs
Common questions from users considering the switch.
Can SchedulingKit really replace ServiceTitan?
For scheduling, client management, and booking automation—yes. ServiceTitan includes pricebook management, advanced dispatching, and deep field-service reporting that SchedulingKit doesn't replicate. But most small businesses don't need those features and are better served by SchedulingKit's AI-powered booking and CRM.
What about dispatching and technician routing?
SchedulingKit's smart scheduling AI optimizes appointment slots and reduces gaps. For GPS-based truck routing, you'd pair it with a dedicated route optimization tool—still at a fraction of ServiceTitan's total cost.
Is SchedulingKit suitable for a 20+ person service company?
Yes. SchedulingKit supports team scheduling with per-member calendars, role-based permissions, and centralized CRM. Many growing service companies use it as their scheduling and client management hub.
Our Verdict
ServiceTitan is built for large field service enterprises with deep pockets. If you want AI-powered scheduling, a real CRM, and client self-booking without the enterprise price tag, SchedulingKit is the smarter investment for small to mid-size service businesses.
