The public scorecard

How BidTorch stacks up.

The whole field, in one honest table — ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, and BidTorch, feature by feature. We keep our own column current from the code and refresh theirs monthly from their public pages. Where they're ahead, we say so.

✓ native · ~ partial or paid add-on · — not offered

The short version
  • BidTorch costs $249/mo flat for 10 seats on its Crew plan, with no per-seat fees.
  • BidTorch's three plans are Solo at $89/mo for 2 seats, Team at $149/mo for 5 seats, and Crew at $249/mo for 10 seats, with AI included on every plan rather than sold as an add-on.
  • At ten users, Jobber runs $349-399/mo and Housecall Pro about $479/mo, while ServiceTitan publishes no prices and is estimated at $245-398 per tech per month plus $10,000-30,000 implementation (Jobber and Housecall Pro list prices re-read 2026-09-08; the ServiceTitan range is an estimate carried from 2026-06-22).
  • BidTorch takes no percentage of contractor revenue: card payment links run through the contractor's own Stripe or Square account.
  • BidTorch does not offer Tap to Pay, an AI voice assistant, an in-product AI receptionist, a natural-language analytics agent, or custom domains, and its white-label is co-branding only, with a permanent "Powered by BidTorch" badge.
  • BidTorch is made by Hoss Automation LLC of Greenfield, Indiana, runs on web, iOS and Android, and offers a 14-day free trial that requires no credit card.

Operational essentials

The day-to-day of quoting, scheduling, and getting paid. On these rows the field is at parity — BidTorch is level-or-ahead on all but two, and honest about both. Where the incumbents are ahead of us, see the gaps section.

The AI layer

Where the category is competing now. Jobber and ServiceTitan sell most of their AI as paid add-ons; Housecall Pro includes much of its AI Team free. BidTorch includes the quote-to-cash AI on every plan — and owns the follow-up leg none of them writes from the quote's real facts.

The price of ten seats

Per-seat is their model. Flat is ours.

Normalized to a ten-seat shop. The incumbents charge per seat and sell AI as paid add-ons — every add-on widens the gap.

Questions

Straight answers.

How much is BidTorch compared to Jobber, Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan for a 10-person crew?

BidTorch is $249 per month flat for 10 seats on the Crew plan. Jobber and Housecall Pro list prices re-read 2026-09-08: Jobber is $349-399/mo at ten users ($399 month-to-month, $349 on a one-year commitment, $299 prepaid annually), plus $29/mo per extra user; Housecall Pro is about $479/mo at ten seats on its Max plan ($329 for eight users plus 2 more seats at $75 each, or $449 on annual billing), and the Essentials route to ten seats costs more at $189 plus 5 seats at $100 each; ServiceTitan publishes no prices and is estimated at $245-398 per tech per month plus $10,000-30,000 implementation, a figure carried from 2026-06-22.

Is BidTorch worth it for a one- or two-person shop?

That depends on your volume, but the entry price is stated plainly: the Solo plan is $89 per month flat for 2 seats, which covers an owner plus a helper or an office admin, and AI is included on every plan rather than sold as an add-on. BidTorch runs on web, iOS and Android. The 14-day free trial requires no credit card, and subscriptions are purchased on the web rather than through in-app purchase.

What does "no per-seat fees" actually mean?

It means the monthly price does not change as you add people inside your plan's seat count. Solo is $89/mo for 2 seats, Team is $149/mo for 5, and Crew is $249/mo for 10, each flat, with AI included rather than billed per user. BidTorch also takes no percentage of your revenue: card payment links run through your own Stripe or Square account.

How is BidTorch's pricing structured compared with the big field-service platforms?

This scorecard verifies pricing structure, not feature parity, and the only competitor data on it are the three price lines above — we make no claim about how those platforms package or bill AI. BidTorch's own structure is flat: $89/mo for 2 seats, $149 for 5, $249 for 10, no per-seat fees, with AI part of every plan at that price rather than a paid add-on. In the product, AI drafts the quote and writes follow-ups for quotes that go quiet from that quote's real facts — days out, viewed or not, options by name — instead of a timer template.

What can't BidTorch do?

Several things, stated plainly. BidTorch has no Tap to Pay or contactless card reading, no AI voice or hands-free assistant, and no AI receptionist inside the product (Hoss Automation offers missed-call follow-up as a separate service; it does not answer calls or book jobs). There is no natural-language analytics agent, only a Reports page. QuickBooks is a direct connection for US QuickBooks Online companies (invoices, payments both ways, voids), not a full two-way sync. If any of those are must-haves, BidTorch is the wrong fit.

Is BidTorch really white-label?

Partially, and the honest word is co-branding. Today, white-label in BidTorch means your logo plus two brand colors, alongside a permanent "Powered by BidTorch" badge that cannot be removed. Custom domains are not available. If you need customer-facing pages served on your own domain with no vendor mark anywhere, BidTorch does not do that.

How current are the prices on this scorecard?

The competitor columns were verified 2026-08-01, with the Jobber and Housecall Pro list prices re-read on their pricing pages 2026-09-08, and the BidTorch column 2026-08-22. Software pricing changes without notice, so treat those figures as accurate as of those dates and confirm current list prices before deciding. The ServiceTitan figure is an estimate carried from 2026-06-22, not a published price, because ServiceTitan does not publish pricing, and it is labelled as an estimate everywhere it appears.

Does BidTorch take a percentage of my payments?

No. Card payment links run through the contractor's own Stripe or Square account, so BidTorch takes no percentage of your revenue. A deposit can be collected when the customer accepts the quote and is auto-credited to the first invoice, and progress or milestone invoicing is supported. QuickBooks is partial, meaning native push plus payment reconcile. Tap to Pay and contactless card reading are not available.

Fewer rows to read. One flat price.
