The BidTorch pricing model

Hiring a tech shouldn't raise your software bill.

The big field-service platforms charge per seat, then sell the AI back to you as add-ons. BidTorch is flat: pick the plan that fits your crew, and that's the whole bill — every seat in the plan, every AI feature, included.

The 10-seat math

Same crew. Very different bills.

Normalize everyone to a 10-person shop and the per-seat model shows its teeth:

Jobber

$349–399/mo

Grow at 10 users: $399 month-to-month, $349 on a one-year commitment, $299 prepaid annually; +$29/mo per extra user.

Housecall Pro

$449–479/mo

Cheapest 10-seat path: Max $329 (8 users) + 2 × $75/seat — $479 month-to-month, $449 on annual billing. Essentials costs more at 10: its extra seats are $100 each ($689).

ServiceTitan

$245–398 /tech/mo

Custom, sales-gated — plus a typical $10–30k implementation. Built for 20+ techs.

BidTorch Crew

$249/mo flat

10 seats, AI quote drafting + AI follow-ups included. No per-seat fees — ever.

The add-on tax

Their AI costs extra. Ours is the point.

The incumbents' late-2025 AI push shipped as paid add-ons: Jobber's AI Receptionist is +$29/mo, metered per conversation, and its Marketing Suite +$99/mo, and ServiceTitan's unsold-estimate campaigns live in the paid Marketing Pro module. Every add-on widens the gap against a flat plan. BidTorch includes its AI — the quote drafting and the follow-up chasing — on every plan, because a quoting tool that stops at the draft is half a tool.

Our plans are sized by crew, not metered by head: Solo $89/mo (2 seats), Team $149/mo (5 seats), Crew $249/mo (10 seats) — 3 flat tiers, then Multi-Crew custom above 10. Each carries its own monthly AI-draft allowance (50/100/150).

Questions

Flat-pricing questions, answered flat.

Is there really no per-seat fee on any BidTorch plan?

Really. Plans are sized by crew — Solo covers 2 seats, Team 5, Crew 10, and Multi-Crew is custom above that — but within your plan the price never moves when you add a user. Hiring a tech should not raise your software bill.

What's wrong with per-seat pricing for a trade shop?

It taxes growth. At 10 users, Jobber's Grow plan runs $399/mo month-to-month ($349 on a one-year commitment) plus $29 per extra user, and Housecall Pro runs about $479/mo once seats stack. Jobber also sells its AI as add-ons on top — Marketing Suite +$99/mo, AI Receptionist +$29/mo — while Housecall Pro includes much of its AI Team at no charge, though its CSR AI call answering is sold separately. Every hire, and on Jobber every add-on, widens the gap against a flat plan. Competitor prices read from their pricing pages 2026-09-08.

Is the AI extra?

No. AI quote drafting and AI follow-ups are included on every plan, including Solo at $89. Each plan carries a monthly AI-draft allowance (Solo 50, Team 100, Crew 150) — an allowance, not a metered surprise on your bill.

What happens when my crew outgrows a plan?

You move up one flat tier — Solo to Team to Crew — and each step is a number you can see on the pricing page before you take it. Above 10 seats we size a flat Multi-Crew price with you, and you see it before anything changes.
