Plumbing AI software compared: prices and best-for, side by side
These are the AI tools most plumbing shops actually weigh against each other. Here's the whole field in one table, sorted by starting price, then a plain "which one fits which shop" guide. We take no payment to rank one above another. The table is the comparison; you pick what fits.

Starting price, charted
Which one fits your shop?
Pick by your actual bottleneck. None of these is "the winner" for everyone.
The phones are the problem
Missed and after-hours calls are going to the next plumber. Start with Quo ($19), or Housecall Pro if you want answering plus the whole back office.
Quotes go out too slow
Estimates take days and jobs slip away. QuoteIQ ($30) is built for same-day quoting.
You want it cheap and simple
One app for scheduling, quoting, invoicing, at the lowest entry. Jobber ($39, or $29 annual).
You want one app for everything
Scheduling, invoicing, reviews, and answering in one place. Housecall Pro ($59).
Dispatch and phones together
Run the board and the calls in one tool. Workiz (quote-only).
You're a bigger operation
10-plus techs and custom workflows. ServiceTitan ($398/user) — heavier and pricier, but built to scale.

Common questions
What's the cheapest?
Quo at $19/mo if the phones are your need. For an all-rounder that also schedules and invoices, Jobber starts at $39/mo ($29 on an annual commitment).
Best all-in-one for a small shop?
For 1-to-15-truck shops it's usually Housecall Pro ($59) or Jobber ($39). Housecall Pro leans all-in-one with answering on higher tiers; Jobber is lower-cost and simpler.
Do I need ServiceTitan?
Usually only if you're a larger, growing operation that needs deep custom workflows. It's heavier and pricier than a small shop needs.
Can a local pro set these up?
Yes. You can hire a local AI consultant who installs these for plumbing shops, by zip code, on The Agentic AI Index.
A real AI use example
Aspen Mountain Plumbing is a residential plumbing company in rural Wyoming. The founder, Lance Ball, uses ServiceTitan to run the day-to-day and keep customers in the loop. In his words: "ServiceTitan's been one of the best investments we ever made... It's growing with us now. Instead of us outgrowing it, it's growing with us."
That's one owner's take, shared by ServiceTitan -- not a promise of what you'll get. It's a qualitative story, not a set of numbers.
