Most comparison pages in this category are written by a vendor and don't say so. We are a vendor, we say so at the top of every page, and we link every figure to the source it came from — including the parts where a competitor beats us. Verified 26 August 2026.
The scorecard: three dozen field service platforms checked on whether you can find a dollar figure without a sales call, what the price is charged on, contract terms and setup fees. About half publish nothing at all.
Seven options for septic, grease, portable restroom and roll-off operators, with published prices and contract terms — plus why ServiceCore and Docket comparison articles come from the same company.
What six alternatives cost as your team grows, with the per-seat maths done at four, ten and sixteen people — and the trades Jobber doesn't have a page for.
Six alternatives with published prices, an honest read on when ServiceTitan is the right answer, and a warning about which popular alternatives are ServiceTitan companies.
The pages above cover the platforms most operators shop first. Every trade also has its own specialists, and those are usually the harder comparison to find honest information about. These are being written:
Tank Track, PumpDocket, Summit Service System, Pumper Software and The Service Program — the specialists a pumping operator finds after the big platforms.
Bin Boss, Dumpster Rental Systems, Docket, CurbWaste, Hauler Hero and Starlight — including which of them share an owner.
LMN and SingleOps under Granum, Aspire, Service Autopilot, RealGreen and Yardbook — and the setup fees that don't appear on the pricing pages.
ServiceCore, PJR Software, PRO Software, Basestation and Alert Rental, compared on rental billing and asset tracking rather than job management.
DrillerDB and Jobber's well water edition — the thinnest specialist field of any trade we cover, and why that is.
Where the plumbing platforms stop and route-based drain work begins, and which vendors actually model recurring maintenance contracts.
Want one of these sooner, or think we've got something wrong on a page that's already up? Tell us — corrections go to the top of the queue.
These pages describe other people's products, and products change. If a price has moved, a feature has shipped, or we've characterised something unfairly, send it over and we'll fix it and restamp the page.
That applies whether you're an operator or you work for one of the companies on the list.
Operators rarely stay on software they've outgrown because they like it. They stay because switching looks like a month of evenings, and because there's a contract with months left on it. We took both of those off the table.
Send us an export — customers, sites, tanks and equipment, service history, your price book. We load it, we reconcile it against your records, and you sign off before anything goes live. Nobody on your team is re-typing a customer list at nine at night.
Still inside an annual contract? We credit the months you have left on it — one free month of RouteHouse for every full month remaining, up to twelve. You don't pay two vendors to leave one.
We build your first routes together, on a call, with your real jobs and your real terminology. Not a help-centre article and a login, and not a project plan measured in weeks.
Switching credit: one free month for each full month remaining on your current provider's agreement, to a maximum of twelve, and a combined maximum of fifteen free months when stacked with any other offer running at the time. A copy of your existing agreement is required. Full terms on the payment terms page.
Every platform on this page runs on the same handful of cloud providers we do. The billion-dollar vendors aren't running better servers — they're running the same ones, with more layers of people between you and whoever can actually change the software.
RouteHouse is founder-led. When you ask for a field on a report or a change to how a route sorts, it goes to the people writing the code — not into a feedback portal to be counted. That isn't a claim about how big we are. It's a claim about how far your request has to travel.
Trade software is full of features that were promised for last spring. We ship continuously, we tell you what we're working on, and if we can't do something we say so instead of parking it. Customers on the phone with us have changed the product more than once.
Priced by the truck with unlimited office staff and crew, so adding people never costs you anything, and adding trucks costs exactly what the page says. The operators we work best with are the ones with real fleets and more than one trade running out of one back office.
Our system status is public at getroutehouse.com/status — the field app and sync, reports and photos, the database, email delivery and address lookup, each checked live and refreshed every 45 seconds, whether or not anything is wrong. We monitor the platform continuously and your data is backed up on a regular schedule.
Founder-led doesn't mean run out of a garage. It means the person who answers the phone is the person who gets paged.
Twenty minutes, no deck, no discovery call first. Bring a real route and we'll run it through RouteHouse while you watch.
