ServiceTech Radar is an independent review site that tests, compares, and recommends software, AI tools, and technology for small and mid-sized home service businesses — starting with HVAC companies and expanding to plumbing, electrical, roofing, cleaning, landscaping, and other field service trades.
Why this site exists
Choosing field service software is expensive to get wrong. Most comparison content online is either written by the software vendors themselves or is a thin list of features copied from pricing pages. Owners of 1–20 truck companies rarely have time to sit through five sales demos to figure out which tool actually fits a small team.
ServiceTech Radar exists to shortcut that process: clear criteria, real-world pricing for small teams, and honest verdicts about who each tool is (and isn’t) a good fit for.
How we evaluate software
- Pricing for small teams. Real monthly cost for a 2–10 person company, including per-user fees, add-ons, payment processing, and contract terms.
- Features that matter in the field. Scheduling and dispatch, quoting, invoicing, payments, customer notifications, and the quality of the technician mobile app.
- Workflow and support. Setup time, integrations (QuickBooks, phone systems, marketing tools), automation options, and how quickly you can get help.
- Fit by company size. A tool that is perfect for a 30-technician company can be a costly mistake for a 3-person shop. We always say who each product is for.
We use vendor documentation, free trials and demos, published pricing, user reviews, and feedback from service business owners. We update guides as pricing and features change, and each article shows its last update date.
How we make money
ServiceTech Radar is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you sign up for a product through one of them, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
