A web app that lets small trade businesses (pest control, HVAC, plumbing) run jobs, schedule techs, and invoice clients without paper or legacy software
Solo technicians and small crews in pest control, HVAC, plumbing, and landscaping still run their operations on paper, whiteboards, or decade-old software that costs hundreds per month and requires a dedicated admin to use. ServiceTitan and its peers target enterprise operators with complex multi-location fleets, leaving the sub-10-tech shop with nothing that fits their budget or workflow. A modern mobile-first web app built specifically for the owner-operator tier, priced to match a small business's cash flow, closes this gap.

Gap Assessment
5 tools exist (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldRoutes (by ServiceTitan), PestPac) but gaps remain: Minimum viable customer is a team with an admin and dedicated dispatcher; pricing starts at several hundred dollars per month per user. A solo tech or 2-person crew cannot afford or operate it.; Not built for a specific trade vertical; generic workflows mean pest control recurring treatments, HVAC maintenance contracts, and plumbing inspection checklists all require manual workarounds. No embedded trade-specific service templates..

Competitive LandscapeFREE
| Product | Does | Missing |
|---|---|---|
| ServiceTitan | Full-stack field service platform covering dispatch, invoicing, CRM, marketing, and payroll for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. IPO'd December 2024 at ~$7.5B valuation, $772M ARR. | Minimum viable customer is a team with an admin and dedicated dispatcher; pricing starts at several hundred dollars per month per user. A solo tech or 2-person crew cannot afford or operate it. |
| Housecall Pro | Scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, and customer notifications for home service businesses. Starts at $69/month, scales to $279/month for small teams. | Not built for a specific trade vertical; generic workflows mean pest control recurring treatments, HVAC maintenance contracts, and plumbing inspection checklists all require manual workarounds. No embedded trade-specific service templates. |
| Jobber | Quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and client management for field service businesses. $191M raised, $61M growth round in March 2024. Good mobile app, cleaner UX than ServiceTitan. | Horizontal across all trades, no deep vertical specialization per trade type. Pest control recurring treatment tracking and chemical log compliance are not covered. Pricing at $49-199/month is still above the comfort zone for a solo operator grossing under $15k/month. |
| FieldRoutes (by ServiceTitan) | Pest control and lawn care focused scheduling, routing, and billing. Acquired by ServiceTitan. Mid-market positioning. | Acquisition into ServiceTitan's orbit has pushed pricing and complexity upward. Solo operators and sub-5-tech companies are not the target and are steered toward simpler (less capable) tiers. |
| PestPac | Pest control-specific software covering scheduling, customer management, chemical tracking, and billing for mid-to-large operators. | Legacy UX built in the 2000s; no modern mobile-first experience; pricing and onboarding designed for companies with 10+ techs. Small operators report it is overbuilt and hard to learn. |
