ServiceTitan is the enterprise leader for large HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shops. It is also expensive, contract-locked, and, in their own words, not optimized for companies with three or fewer techs. Here is when Avolv makes sense instead.
ServiceTitan is built around a big CSR team and a big budget. Avolv is built for route-based operators who want to see the price first.
Avolv runs recurring routes, chemistry, and the books in one system. ServiceTitan is built around a CSR team booking one-off calls.
Avolv publishes pricing and scopes setup on the first call. ServiceTitan is quote-only with a five-figure implementation.
Avolv is month to month and your data exports anytime. ServiceTitan is a 12-month minimum, and users report a hard export.

The pool operations are the starting point. This is the rest of the business, running in the same system.
All ServiceTitan numbers from public sources as of September 2026.
Real math, not vendor math.
| Your operation | On ServiceTitan | On Avolv |
|---|---|---|
| 5 techs | Essentials: ~$1,500-$2,000/mo + $10K-$15K implementation + 12-mo contract | Quoted per location, no contract, no six-figure implementation |
| 10 techs | Essentials: ~$3,000-$4,000/mo + $15K-$25K implementation = $51K-$63K year one | A fraction of that, no contract |
| 20+ techs | Designed for you: $50K-$100K+/year | Designed for you too, without the six-figure lock-in |
Avolv migrations from ServiceTitan are less common, because operators who spent five figures on implementation do not leave lightly. When they do, it is because the recurring-route economics never made sense on an enterprise CSR-first tool. Data export takes more work when the platform is closed, but it is doable. Talk to me before you sign a cancellation, because timing matters.
No. It is genuinely enterprise-grade and it fits large operations doing complex dispatch. The problem is fit. ServiceTitan has publicly said the platform is not optimized for companies with three or fewer technicians. It is expensive, contract-locked, and built for CSR-driven dispatch of one-off calls rather than route-based recurring service.
Migrating out of ServiceTitan is harder than most tools because the export process is not friendly. Some users report needing legal help to retrieve their own data. It is still doable. Talk to me first before signing a cancellation, because timing matters.
Avolv has marketing campaigns, follow-up sequences, review generation on autopilot, and a lead pipeline with AI classification. Not identical to ServiceTitan's full marketing suite, but adequate for most operations without a dedicated marketing team.
We do. Pricing is public on the pricing page. What we do not do is a $50K implementation, so there is no hidden number.
Book fifteen minutes. Bring your tech count, and I'll show you the side by side on your numbers, with no implementation surprise.
