Comparison

Punchless vs. ServiceTitan

ServiceTitan is a powerful platform built for large contractors - and priced and implemented like one. Punchless is the SMB-friendly alternative: the same GPS-timecard and payroll-compliance backbone, with transparent per-crew pricing and a trial you can start yourself today.

The core difference

ServiceTitan approach

An enterprise-grade, all-encompassing operating system for large contractors: immense breadth, deep configuration, sales-led onboarding, and pricing to match. Powerful - and a lot to buy, implement, and pay for if you're a smaller shop.

Punchless approach

The labor/compliance wedge without the enterprise overhead: GPS builds the timecard, state overtime and break rules are applied to it and cited to the statute they come from, prevailing-wage hours come out per project per day, and jobs/estimates/ invoicing/payments round out the office. Transparent per-crew pricing, self-serve in an afternoon.

Punchless vs. ServiceTitan: common questions

Is Punchless a good ServiceTitan alternative for small businesses?+

Yes - that's exactly who it's for. ServiceTitan is built and priced for mid-market and enterprise contractors, with sales-led onboarding and a significant monthly minimum. Punchless gives SMB crews the same GPS-timecard and payroll-compliance backbone with transparent per-crew pricing and a self-serve trial.

How much cheaper is Punchless than ServiceTitan?+

Punchless is priced per crew, not per seat: free for up to 3 field workers on Solo, then $99 a month on Core with 2 crews of 6 included and $39 for each crew after that (one or two people past a full crew are $19 each), with unlimited office logins. ServiceTitan is a custom quote that typically carries a substantial monthly minimum. Exact figures vary - verify current ServiceTitan pricing at servicetitan.com.

Do I have to go through a sales demo to try Punchless?+

No. You can start a 30-day free trial yourself with no credit card and no sales call, and load sample data to watch a timecard build itself before inviting any technicians. ServiceTitan is sales-led with a custom quote.

Does Punchless handle certified payroll and compliance like ServiceTitan?+

For a small contractor, yes. State-specific overtime and break rules and a record that keeps every edit alongside what it replaced come on every plan; jobs, estimates and invoicing from Core; and the hours side of certified payroll (not a filable WH-347) on the Prevailing Wage plan - without the enterprise implementation.

Enterprise-grade labor tracking, SMB-simple.

30 days free, no credit card, no sales call. Load sample data and watch a timecard build itself before you invite a single technician.
