Switching from ServiceTitan
ServiceTitan alternatives for a one van operation
ServiceTitan is built for companies with a dispatcher and a crew, and it is good at that. If you are one person with one van, the question is not whether it works. It is whether you are buying the shape of a company you are not.
Looking for the row by row table instead? Fixty vs ServiceTitan
What actually moves, and what does not
The blunt fact first, because it changes your timeline more than anything else on this page. Fixty has no upload screen and no implementation team. Your customer list still comes across, but the way it comes across is that you send it to support and somebody works through it with you, which is a conversation rather than a statement of work.
Coming down from enterprise software, that lands differently than it would elsewhere. You are used to an implementation being a thing done to you: a project plan, a data load, a named contact, a date everybody works towards. There is still a person here and there is still your list, but there is no project around it, nothing to schedule the business around and nothing to sign. What also shrinks is the list itself, because a one van operation has fewer live customers than its database suggests and most of the records in a big system will never be opened again.
The exit itself is the part to be careful with, and it is a calendar problem rather than a data problem. We hold no sourced information about ServiceTitan contract terms, notice periods or renewal dates, and you should not take this page for it either. Read your own agreement, find the notice date, and work backwards from it. Discovering the terms after you have set up somewhere else is the expensive version of this move.
Read your own contract first
Find the renewal date and the notice period in the agreement you signed. We have not sourced anything about their terms and will not guess at them. This is the step that decides when the rest of the plan can happen.
Ask for the export in writing
Customers, equipment or vehicle records, job history, invoices. Ask while the account is live and in a form you can open without their software. What a vendor returns on the way out is their answer to give, not ours.
Ask how the list actually gets loaded
There is no upload screen and no implementation project, but there is somebody who will go through the file with you. Bring the customers who still call you and leave the rest in the export. That decision is the single biggest lever on how long this takes, and it stays yours.
Rebuild the automations you actually use
Reminders, follow ups and recurring work do not travel. Write down the handful you rely on before you cancel. Almost nobody is still using every automation they once switched on, and the ones that matter are obvious once you list them.
Overlap, then cancel
New jobs in the new system, history in the old one, and cancel only when a full week has passed without opening it. Do not aim at a cutover date, especially one near a renewal.
What you give up by leaving ServiceTitan
Everything below is real and everything below is quoted from their own site. The question for a one van operation is not whether these capabilities are good. It is whether you use any of them this month.
Multi technician teams
Fixty: No. One mechanic, one workspace. Built solo first on purpose.
ServiceTitan
Yes
“ServiceTitan's powerful dispatch board gives your team unprecedented oversight and flexibility to respond to scheduling curveballs and match technicians to profitable jobs”

Route optimization
Fixty: No. Fixty does not do this. It was advertised once by mistake and the claim was retracted.
ServiceTitan
Yes
“Optimized technician routing that helps businesses get the right techs to the right jobs at the right times.”

Parts inventory management
Fixty: No. Fixty tracks parts on a job, not stock on a shelf.
ServiceTitan
Yes
“Reduce job delays by allowing technicians to check stock levels, so they can reserve or request materials and equipment as needed.”

Accounting sync
Fixty: No. No QuickBooks or Xero integration today.
ServiceTitan
Yes
“ServiceTitan's QuickBooks Desktop integration syncs data seamlessly, reducing manual entry and ensuring accurate financial records for streamlined management.”

When ServiceTitan is the better choice, in full
- You employ a crew and someone in the office dispatching them. ServiceTitan prices per technician and sells a dispatch board built to match technicians to jobs, which is a different shape of business than one mechanic with one van.
- Your day is a route, not a queue. ServiceTitan sources optimized technician routing on their own site; a pipeline board does not plan a driving day for you.
- You carry real stock across trucks and a warehouse. ServiceTitan sells inventory tracking that lets technicians check and reserve materials before a job.
- Your books live in QuickBooks Desktop, NetSuite or Sage Intacct and the sync has to be first class. ServiceTitan publishes named integrations for each of them.
Every ServiceTitan claim on this page was read from their own site, is quoted with the page it came from, and was last re-read on August 29, 2026. Where a cell says we could not confirm something, that is what it means: we looked and did not find it, which is not the same as it not existing.
You cannot compare a price you were never shown
Every other product on this site publishes a number. ServiceTitan does not, and they say why on the pricing page itself:
No
“Our per-technician pricing is designed to fit your business and goals, at any size.”

Custom pricing is not a scandal, it is a sales model, and it has a practical consequence for one person with a van: you cannot do the arithmetic at eleven at night the way you can with a published price. You have to book a call, describe your business, and be given a number by someone whose job is to size you.
If you go into that call, go in with four questions written down. What is the monthly total for exactly one person. What is the minimum term. What is the implementation or onboarding fee, and is it refundable if we stop. And what does the price do at renewal. Get all four in writing before you compare anything, because a quote you cannot repeat is not a quote you can compare.
One van does not need a dispatch board
This is the centre of the product, and it is worth reading carefully as someone who is both the dispatcher and the technician:
Yes
“ServiceTitan's powerful dispatch board gives your team unprecedented oversight and flexibility to respond to scheduling curveballs and match technicians to profitable jobs”
servicetitan.com/features/dispatch-software, read August 29, 2026
Matching the right technician to the right job is a genuinely hard problem when there are technicians. When there is one of you, the board is a screen that tells you what you already know, and every workflow built on top of it assumes a handoff between people that never happens. That is the tax of running enterprise software solo: not the price on its own, but the number of steps that exist to keep two people in sync when there is only one.
The same test applies to the rest of it. Inventory across trucks and a warehouse is powerful and pointless if you order parts per job. Named finance integrations matter if you have a bookkeeper. Ask of each feature you are paying for: who does this for me that I would otherwise have to hire.
If you left because it was too big, do not buy the same shape twice
Enterprise field service software has a recognisable silhouette, and it appears in smaller products too. Watch for four things while you shop. Pricing that is quoted rather than published, which means the number depends on how you answer the discovery call. Pricing per technician, which is a business model built for headcount growth and prices you as though you already have it. An implementation or onboarding fee, which is the tell that the product cannot be set up by the person who will use it. And an annual commitment, which is where the leverage lives when you decide to leave.
None of these four are dishonest, and all four are the wrong shape for one van. A product that expects you to grow into it will keep charging you for the growth whether or not it arrives. If you want to stay one person deliberately, and plenty of good mechanics do, buy something that is finished at your size rather than something that only becomes reasonable once you have a crew.
The mirror image is worth saying too. If you are one van this year because you are hiring in the spring, everything in this section argues the other way, and buying software that cannot hold a second person is a move you will have to undo.
Who should not switch to Fixty
Fixty is one mechanic, one workspace, no dispatch, no route planning, no inventory and no accounting sync. Four kinds of operator should not switch, and the last two are easy to miss.
You are one van this year because you are hiring next year
Fixty has no second seat at any price. Growing past yourself means moving again, and moving twice is worse than paying for headroom once.
Someone other than you answers the phone and books the work
There is nobody to give a login to. The whole product assumes the person quoting the job is the person doing it.
Commercial contracts and maintenance agreements are your revenue
Fixty is built around a job on a vehicle. Recurring commercial agreements, service level terms and contract billing are not what it does.
Your trade is HVAC, plumbing or electrical rather than automotive
Fixty puts a vehicle at the centre of every record. For a trade with no vehicle in the job, that is the whole product working against you.
Alternatives to ServiceTitan that are not Fixty
Coming down from enterprise software, the sensible move depends on which half of your work is real. If you are in the home trades, the two products below are built for exactly that and both publish a price and a trial. If you fix cars, auto repair software is the better fork, and Fixty is one option there. Either way, the thing worth insisting on is a published price and a way to try it, because you have already learned what it costs to find out afterwards.
Housecall Pro
Fits you if: Home trades, one or two people, and you want the lowest published entry price with a trial you can start today.
The catch: Built for properties rather than vehicles, so if cars are your work there is nowhere for the car to live.
In their own words
Home service trades: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, landscaping
“Housecall Pro is designed for home service businesses like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, landscaping, and others.”

Cheapest published monthly price
$59 per month
“Basic, 1 user: $59/month, saving $20 per month [dash normalized]”

Jobber
Fits you if: Home trades again, but your day is a route and you want that planned for you rather than by you.
The catch: Also home service software, and it prices per user, so the bill grows the same way ServiceTitan does.
In their own words
Field service management software that runs quoting, scheduling, invoicing and payment in one place
“Quote, schedule, invoice, and get paid, all in one place. [dash normalized]”

AutoLeap
Fits you if: Your work is automotive, you run from a van, and you want stock and technicians available when you need them.
The catch: They publish no free trial of the shop software, so you are back to a demo and a sales conversation.
In their own words
Yes
“Built for mobile mechanics who work from a van, not a shop.”
autoleap.com/mobile-mechanic-software, read August 29, 2026
Cheapest published monthly price
$179 per month
“Power your shop with #1 Auto Repair Software starting at $179/mo. Flexible monthly and annual plans designed to streamline operations for shops of any size.”
autoleap.com/pricing, read August 29, 2026
We sell one of the options on this page, so read the quotes rather than our summary of them. Each price above is the cheapest monthly figure that vendor publishes, which is usually the annually billed rate. Paying month to month generally costs more.
Questions people ask before they switch
How much does ServiceTitan cost for one technician?
They do not publish it. Their pricing page names three packages and says the per technician price is designed to fit your business and goals at any size, with a request pricing button instead of a number, and what they offer in place of a trial is a free demo. Any figure you read on a third party site is a number somebody else reported, not one they publish.
Is ServiceTitan overkill for a one van operation?
That is your call, and here is the test we would use. The product is built around a dispatch board that matches technicians to jobs, inventory across trucks and a warehouse, and named finance integrations. If you are the only technician, order parts per job, and do your own books, you are paying for the coordination of a company you do not have.
Can I import my ServiceTitan data into Fixty?
Your customer list, yes, though nothing about it resembles an implementation. There is no upload screen and no project: you send the list, support goes through it with you, and it gets loaded. Coming from enterprise software the adjustment is the scale of it, and the way to keep it small is to bring only the customers who still call you.
What should I check before I cancel?
Your contract. We hold no sourced information about ServiceTitan renewal dates, notice periods or termination terms and will not guess at them. Find them in your own agreement, then plan the switch backwards from the notice date rather than forwards from today.
If you are switching, start on one job
Do not migrate anything. Take your next job, write the estimate at the curb, text it, let the customer approve the lines they want, and take the card before you pack up. If that one job is better than the way you do it today, enter the next customer too.
Try Fixty free for 14 daysStarter is 14 days free. A card is collected at signup and charged on day 14. Cancel any time and access runs to the end of the cycle you paid for.
