Migrate your ServiceTitan data
End-to-end FSM platform built for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors, pricing per technician with deep dispatch, invoicing, and payments features but opaque costs and heavy implementation requirements.
In its favor
Why people choose ServiceTitan
The signal that keeps ServiceTitan on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Per-technician pricing aligns cost with field capacity — growing a 10-technician shop pays for itself through scheduling efficiency and reduced dispatch friction, which is why HVAC and plumbing businesses adopt it at scale.
Cloud-based, mobile-first platform means technicians access job details, customer history, and invoicing from the field without returning to the office, reducing callback rates and improving first-visit resolution.
Deep QuickBooks Desktop integration handles accounting sync natively, so office staff do not maintain a separate ledger when migrating from QuickBooks-centric workflows.
Automated customer communications — appointment reminders, follow-up emails, and marketing campaigns — reduce no-show rates and support CSRs who would otherwise manage all outreach manually.
Constant tracking of customer history and technician activity across every job creates a single source of truth for performance reporting, a feature repeatedly praised by G2 reviewers as the platform's standout strength.
Pricing opacity and per-technician costs that exceed $500/month per tech at higher tiers create sticker shock, especially when combined with mandatory multi-year contracts and implementation fees reported in the tens of thousands.
The learning curve is steep — G2 and Capterra reviewers consistently cite difficulty mastering pricebooks, custom reports, and advanced features without dedicated training or a strong CSM, and many report poor or unreachable support during onboarding struggles.
Releasing new features and updates before refining existing ones frustrates long-term users; reviewers describe instances where product changes break established workflows without adequate notice or migration support.
Construction contractors find ServiceTitan does not include estimating, change orders, project scheduling, or job costing in the way their businesses require, making it a poor fit despite the premium pricing charged regardless of trade vertical.
Exit from ServiceTitan is described as difficult by former users, with long-term contracts, data portability limitations, and a complex setup that creates meaningful switching costs.

Pricing tiers
ServiceTitan pricing overview
ServiceTitan uses opaque, per-technician pricing that is not published publicly and requires a sales call to obtain a quote. Market estimates suggest Starter tiers run approximately $245–$300 per technician per month, Essentials $300–$400, and Pro/Enterprise $400–$500 or higher. Implementation fees, multi-year contract requirements, and add-on module costs (Payments, Financing, Fleet, Voice Agent) add substantial expense beyond the base subscription, making total cost of ownership significantly higher than the headline per-tech rate.

What gets migrated
ServiceTitan object support
Object-by-object support for ServiceTitan migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomers are the top-level record in ServiceTitan's data model. We map Customer Name, contact details, phone numbers, email addresses, and the Notes field 1:1. ServiceTitan validates email format but does not deduplicate across the platform automatically — we flag potential duplicate customers during import scoping.
Service Locations
Mapping requiredService Locations are address-driven child records under Customers, required for job booking and technician routing. Each location stores coordinates used by Map 2.0, Optimize Technician Route, and Technician Arrival Tracking. We migrate location addresses 1:1 but require longitude/latitude coordinates to be validated or manually entered after import since address verification can fail for non-standard addresses.
Jobs
Fully supportedJobs are the core operational record linking a Customer, Service Location, Technician, and Line Items. We map Job status, dates, assigned technician, and job-level custom fields. Historical completed jobs transfer as closed records; open jobs land as their equivalent open status in the destination system.
Invoices
Mapping requiredInvoices are tied to Jobs and carry line-item details, payment status, and QuickBooks Desktop mapping metadata. We preserve invoice number, date, total, and balance. Payment history requires mapping against the destination's accounting module since ServiceTitan's payment ledger has platform-specific fields like check/bounced-check tracking.
Estimates
Mapping requiredEstimates are authored in the Proposal Builder and carry pricing, materials, and service details. We map the estimate value, associated customer and location, and acceptance status. Custom pricing matrices in the source estimate may require reapplication in the destination pricebook post-migration.
Dispatch Board
Not in this platformThe Dispatch Board stores real-time scheduling state and visual drag-and-drop job assignments that are inherently destination-specific. We do not migrate Dispatch Board state. We map technician capacity configurations and pipeline stages to the destination system's scheduling module instead.
Pricebook / Pricebook Items
Mapping requiredServiceTitan Pricebooks define materials, labor rates, and service packages. The Pricebook import has documented error-handling procedures in ServiceTitan's own knowledge base. We migrate Pricebook Items with their pricing, but we flag that category structure differences between source and destination systems often require manual reorganization after import.
Service Agreements
Fully supportedService Agreements are recurring service contracts attached to a Customer or Service Location, governing automatically scheduled work. We map the agreement terms, frequency, associated location, and linked Job template. Acceptance and activation status transfers as-is.
Payments
Mapping requiredPayments in ServiceTitan are linked to Invoices and carry payment method, amount, date, and reconciliation status. We map payment records 1:1 for historical accuracy but note that check-specific fields (such as bounced-check flags) only map if the destination platform supports them natively.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredServiceTitan allows custom fields on Customer records, Service Location records, and Jobs. Custom fields appear in Search and can be included in reports. We migrate all custom field values and preserve their object association. However, the custom field schema itself must be recreated in the destination system — we provide a schema export alongside the data migration.
Employees / Technicians
Fully supportedTechnicians are stored as Employee records with scheduling, capacity, and route-optimization attributes. We map the technician name, contact details, working shifts, and capacity configuration. Employee-specific custom fields and certifications transfer as standard custom fields.
