We're on ServiceTitan but it's too expensive. Can WorkArc save us money?

Likely yes. ServiceTitan costs $250-500+ per user/month plus expensive add-ons (Marketing Pro, Phones Pro, Inventory). WorkArc pricing is modular and typically a fraction of ServiceTitan's cost. Most businesses save 40-60% on software costs while gaining AI capabilities ServiceTitan doesn't offer. Book a call for custom pricing based on your team size.

We're locked into a ServiceTitan contract. Can we transition early?

Check your ServiceTitan contract terms — many have early termination clauses. Some businesses run both systems in parallel during the contract period: use WorkArc for new projects, ServiceTitan for ongoing work, then fully transition when the contract expires. We can help you plan a transition timeline that minimizes disruption and cost.

ServiceTitan's dispatch board is great. How does WorkArc compare?

If you're doing high-volume daily service dispatch (20+ calls per day), ServiceTitan's dispatch board is genuinely excellent — it's their core strength. WorkArc has good scheduling, but it's optimized for project timelines rather than real-time service dispatch. If your business is 80% project work and 20% service calls, WorkArc fits better. If it's reversed, ServiceTitan might still be the right tool.

Can we migrate our pricebooks and customer data from ServiceTitan?

Yes. ServiceTitan allows data export, and we help you migrate pricebooks, customer contacts, job history, and templates. The migration typically takes 1-2 weeks depending on data complexity. We handle the technical work — you review and approve.

ServiceTitan implementation took us 4 months. Is WorkArc the same?

No. ServiceTitan implementations are lengthy because the system is complex and requires extensive configuration. WorkArc's guided onboarding gets you operational in 2-3 weeks: set up price books, configure workflows, train your team, go live. Most businesses are quoting and managing jobs within the first week.

What about ServiceTitan's Marketing Pro and Phones Pro features?

Those are expensive add-ons in ServiceTitan ($100-300+/month each). WorkArc includes equivalent features: ArcChase (automated follow-up marketing) and ArcVoice (AI phone answering and call management) are built-in, not add-ons. You get the automation without paying enterprise add-on prices.

We use ServiceTitan for HVAC service calls. Would WorkArc work for us?

Probably not as well. ServiceTitan is genuinely strong for high-volume HVAC service work — dispatch, recurring maintenance contracts, service agreements. WorkArc excels at project-based trade work. If you're primarily doing reactive service calls, ServiceTitan might still be the better fit despite the cost. WorkArc is for businesses doing complex project work (new installs, renovations, custom builds).

Does WorkArc integrate with accounting software like ServiceTitan does?

Yes. WorkArc integrates with QuickBooks, Xero, MYOB, and other major accounting platforms. Two-way sync for invoices, payments, and job costs. Similar functionality to ServiceTitan's accounting integrations, just simpler to set up.

Can WorkArc's AI really quote complex projects accurately?

Yes, for project-based trade work. ArcQuote is trained on landscaping, building, concreting, decking workflows — not HVAC service calls. You set up your price book with your costs and margins. The AI reads your site notes ('60m² deck, kwila, raised, with stairs and lighting') and builds a detailed quote using YOUR pricing. You review before sending. It's not guessing; it's calculating from your data.

What if we only want to replace the expensive add-ons, not all of ServiceTitan?

That's not currently supported — WorkArc is a standalone platform. However, if ServiceTitan's base features work for you but you're frustrated with Marketing Pro and Phones Pro costs, consider switching to WorkArc entirely. You'll get AI quoting, automated follow-up, and phone answering built-in, plus project management tailored for your work type, all for less than ServiceTitan's monthly cost.

Does WorkArc work in the US like ServiceTitan does?

Yes. WorkArc handles US tax systems (sales tax by state), integrates with US banks and accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero), processes payments through Stripe/Square, and our support team understands North American trade workflows. Built for US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand markets.

We have 50+ technicians. Can WorkArc scale like ServiceTitan?

WorkArc supports teams of that size, but ServiceTitan's enterprise features (advanced permissions, multi-location workflows, complex approval chains) are more mature for very large operations. Most WorkArc customers are 2-25 employees. If you have 50+ staff and complex enterprise needs, ServiceTitan might still be the better fit despite the cost. WorkArc shines for growing businesses (under 30 staff) that don't need enterprise complexity.

Can we trial WorkArc before canceling ServiceTitan?

Yes. We offer a trial period where you can run WorkArc alongside ServiceTitan. Quote new projects in WorkArc, continue existing jobs in ServiceTitan, see the difference in speed and cost. We'll help you evaluate whether the switch makes sense for your specific business before you commit.

What ServiceTitan Does Well

We're not here to trash the competition. ServiceTitan is a solid tool for certain businesses.

ServiceTitan excels at high-volume service dispatch

Where WorkArc Takes It Further

Built for trade businesses who've outgrown basic job management

Built for Project-Based Trade Work, Not Service Calls

ServiceTitan was designed for reactive service businesses (emergency plumbing calls, HVAC repairs, electrical troubleshooting). WorkArc was built for project-based trades — landscaping, building, concreting, decking. Multi-scope jobs, complex material pricing, project timelines. Different workflow, different tool.

AI Quoting for Complex Projects

ServiceTitan's quoting works for service calls with pre-defined pricebooks ('water heater replacement: $2,800'). WorkArc's AI handles complex project quoting: 'Need 60m² patio with raised deck, retaining wall, drainage, and lighting' becomes a detailed multi-scope quote with materials, labor, and margins calculated automatically. Minutes, not hours.

Setup in Weeks, Not Months

ServiceTitan implementations typically take 2-6 months with dedicated implementation specialists (often external consultants). WorkArc guided onboarding gets you quoting and managing jobs in 2-3 weeks. No complex configuration, no months-long rollout, no implementation fees.

AI Phone Answering Included (Not an Expensive Add-on)

ServiceTitan's Phones Pro add-on costs hundreds per month extra. WorkArc's ArcVoice is included: 24/7 AI receptionist that qualifies leads, books site visits, captures project details, and sends summaries. Every missed call becomes a captured opportunity, without paying for expensive add-ons.

Flexible Pricing, Not Enterprise Lock-in

ServiceTitan pricing: $250-500+ per user/month, often with 12-24 month contracts, plus expensive add-ons (Marketing Pro, Phones Pro, Inventory). WorkArc: modular pricing based on what you actually use, no long-term lock-in, no surprise add-on fees. Pay for value, not seat licenses.

Automated Follow-Up Without Marketing Pro

ServiceTitan's automated marketing requires the Marketing Pro add-on. WorkArc's ArcChase is built-in: automated quote follow-up at strategic intervals with professional, contextual messages. Win 15-30% more jobs without paying for enterprise marketing modules you don't need.
