The ServiceTitan Alternative for Businesses That Refuse to Overpay
ServiceTitan charges $150/month extra for the pricebook your techs need every day. CortexaOS includes it — along with full HVAC job management, scheduling, invoicing, and 35 industry verticals — at $249.99/month flat.
The Problem with ServiceTitan
What small and mid-size HVAC businesses run into after signing the contract.
$500/mo Before You Add Anything
ServiceTitan's HVAC basics run $398–$498/month. Add Pricebook Pro at $150/month and you are at $650 before marketing, scheduling add-ons, or anything beyond the core. Small HVAC businesses report sticker shock at renewal.
3-Month Onboarding Is Not a Feature
ServiceTitan requires a dedicated 3-month implementation process with assigned onboarding reps. For a 2-truck HVAC company, that is a full quarter of disruption just to get the software running.
HVAC and Plumbing Only
ServiceTitan is purpose-built for HVAC and plumbing. If your business spans electrical, roofing, landscaping, or any other trade, you need another platform — and another bill.
Pricebook Pro Is a Paid Add-On
The flat-rate pricebook — the feature most HVAC techs depend on daily for accurate quotes in the field — costs $150/month extra in ServiceTitan. It is table stakes functionality gated behind a premium upsell.

Why HVAC Businesses Switch
Three reasons growing field service businesses choose CortexaOS over ServiceTitan.
Pricebook Included — No Upsell
The flat-rate pricebook your techs need to quote accurately in the field is built into CortexaOS at no extra charge. ServiceTitan calls it Pricebook Pro and charges $150/month. We call it standard.
All 19 Trades in One Platform
HVAC today. Roofing next year. Landscaping after that. CortexaOS covers all 35 industry verticals — so when your business evolves, your software already has you covered.
AI That Actually Helps You Sell
CortexaOS generates maintenance agreement proposals, follow-up sequences for declined estimates, and seasonal campaign copy — things ServiceTitan cannot do without connecting a separate marketing tool.
Side-by-Side Pricing
The real cost of ServiceTitan vs what CortexaOS actually charges
$398–$498 base + $150 Pricebook Pro add-on, HVAC/plumbing only
Full HVAC management + flat-rate pricebook + 35 verticals + 94 apps — all included
ServiceTitan wanted us to commit to a 3-month onboarding and $600 a month before we'd even seen the software work. CortexaOS was running in a week and our techs actually use it in the field. We save $350 a month and cover roofing and HVAC from the same platform.
