Plumbing Software: Vendors and Prices Compared for Teams of 3 to 30

Plumbing software takes a plumbing company’s calls, dispatches its plumbers, and handles quotes, invoices and payments; the products here split by the kind of plumbing work they were built for. Every price below has its source, and we checked them on November 10, 2026.

That split is the decision the tables can’t make for you. A shop that lives on burst pipes, blocked drains and water heater swaps needs calls answered after hours and the right plumber sent fast, and that is the work the plumbing pages of Housecall Pro, Jobber and Workiz are written around (Housecall Pro, Jobber, Workiz). A contractor whose income comes from commercial service contracts, backflow programs or new-construction work needs device records, staged and AIA billing, and accounting that can carry a project. BuildOps’s plumbing page describes backflow device tracking and project work (plumbing page), ServiceTitan’s and Knowify’s describe AIA billing (ServiceTitan, Knowify), and ServMan PRO keeps a full general ledger inside the system (FAQ). BuildOps, ServiceTitan and ServMan PRO publish no plan prices (BuildOps, ServiceTitan, ServMan PRO). Housecall Pro’s figures come from the package prices on its plumbing page, not its general pricing page.

How each cost is worked out: 12 times the monthly price of the cheapest plan that allows that many users (a small team is 2 technicians and 1 office user, a mid-size team 8 and 2, a large team 25 and 5), on that plan's cheapest published billing term. That plan may not include every feature you need. One-off fees are listed separately and are not included.

Starting price is the lowest plan price on the billing term the vendor's pricing page shows first. "Who it suits" is our summary of the vendor's own material. The bar under each published mid-size cost shows it against the highest one in the column; it measures cost, not quality.

Notes on these figures

1. Service Fusion Starter: Publication note: In Service Fusion's pricing page code, which lists slightly different plan contents from the visible page; the page showed no prices in a browser when last checked.
2. Jobber Connect: Sources disagree. Jobber's pricing page sells Connect at set prices for up to 15 users, but its help article says the plan supports up to 5 users. We use the pricing page; check with Jobber before relying on a larger team on this plan. (sources: getjobber.com/pricing, help.getjobber.com/en/articles/the-connect-plan)
3. Workiz Standard: Publication note: Stated in Workiz's file for AI tools; its pricing page shows Request pricing.

Where a cell says Not published, the vendor gives a price only after a demo or sales call, and its pricing page is in the Sources list at the end.

Plus one-off fees, not published: Service Fusion, Jobber, Knowify, Housecall Pro, HVAC, plumbing and electrical pricing and Workiz.

Each figure is the vendor’s cheapest plan for that many users. For a plumbing company, three things can push the real bill above it: an after-hours answering service, a dispatch add-on (Knowify’s Service Pro), and the step from one plan to the next when the features you need, such as equipment records or service agreements, sit higher up. The features table further down shows where each sits.

How vendors got onto this page, and their order

What drives the cost of plumbing software

Who needs a login. The vendors that publish prices charge for people in different ways. Service Fusion charges one price per plan whatever the headcount (pricing page). Jobber publishes prices up to a set team size and quotes larger teams (pricing page). Housecall Pro’s plumbing Essentials and Max packages include a set number of users and charge for each one added (plumbing page). Knowify’s Core plan includes one user and charges for each extra one (pricing page). FieldEdge says you choose the number and types of licenses, and describes office licenses for managers and dispatchers apart from its plumber app (plumbing page), so ask how each kind is priced. Service Fusion costs less at 30 users: $2,496 a year, billed annually (published price; publication note), against $27,588 a year, billing term not stated (published price) for Housecall Pro.

Answering the phone after hours. An emergency plumber’s phone rings when the office is shut, and the services that answer it are usually extras. Jobber’s Receptionist is $29 a month, billed monthly (published price; sources disagree). Housecall Pro’s CSR AI is not published, and Workiz’s Genius Answering is not published. None of the yearly costs above includes them.

Service dispatch sold as an add-on. Knowify is a project tool first, and its dispatch board comes with Service Pro, $99 a month, billed annually (published price), on top of any plan (pricing page). A plumbing company that mostly runs service calls should add it to Knowify’s figures before comparing.

Quote-only systems and setup. Where the price is Not published, setup can be a project of its own. ServMan PRO’s FAQ asks for a part-time project lead on your side to work with its project manager over several months, busiest during data migration at the start and testing before go-live, and ServMan bills changes made after go-live at an hourly rate it does not publish (FAQ). BuildOps describes onboarding as mapping your old data, configuring workflows and training office staff and crews (plumbing page). Ask for the setup fee and the term in writing, and read how we estimate prices for why no figure is shown for these vendors.

Emergency and after-hours plumbing calls

A burst pipe or a backed-up sewer line doesn’t wait for tomorrow’s schedule. Three things decide how a product copes: whether the call is answered when the office is closed, whether the job can go onto the board ahead of planned work, and whether the dispatcher can see who is nearest and qualified.

Answering. Workiz’s plumbing FAQ says its Communications Suite takes calls around the clock (plumbing page). Housecall Pro points emergency callers to its CSR AI or a dedicated call answering service, and lets homeowners book from Google or your website at any hour (plumbing page). Jobber’s Receptionist answers calls and texts day or night and escalates calls by rules you set (plumbing page). For a phone system in the plan itself: Jobber's plan pages do not list phone system or call tracking (Only AI call answering is listed); ServiceTitan includes it on Max.

Jumping the queue. FieldPulse tags emergency requests so they are handled first (plumbing page). Housecall Pro lets the office prioritize emergency jobs and dispatch around them on a live map (plumbing page), and Jobber reassigns and reschedules the day’s other jobs, telling the plumbers and customers affected (plumbing page).

Sending the right plumber. BuildOps matches each dispatch to a plumber by skill, location and availability (plumbing page), and FieldEdge assigns on skills, location and availability (plumbing page). ServiceTitan reminds dispatchers to check that the plumber’s skills match the job (plumbing page). Seeing who is nearest needs location tracking: Housecall Pro includes GPS tracking from Essentials (an add-on on Basic. Vehicle tracking is a separate add-on); Jobber includes it from Connect (Vehicle tracking needs a FleetSharp device and subscription).

Drain, sewer camera and water heater jobs

Plumbing work leaves a trail that the next visit depends on: what the camera showed in the sewer line, which water heater went in and when, and when the drain was last cleared. Vendors’ plumbing pages handle these records differently.

Housecall Pro’s plumbing page describes photo reports for documenting sewer camera inspections and multi-day work, automated drain-cleaning reminders, and tiered options on water heaters and repipes (plumbing page). Jobber’s app gives plumbers checklists and before-and-after photos, and its quotes can offer a drain cleaning or a new drain pan as an optional extra (plumbing page). Workiz suggests pre-booking periodic tank cleanings and inspections, and lets you build templates for installs, repairs and maintenance visits (plumbing page).

For the equipment at the customer’s property, such as a water heater with its model, serial number and service history, look at the equipment tracking row of the features table. Housecall Pro includes equipment tracking from Essentials; Jobber's plan pages do not list it.

The plumbing pages of Housecall Pro, Jobber and Workiz describe the customer’s equipment and the job, not the company’s own jetters and camera rigs. For your own gear, Knowify schedules equipment alongside people on every plan (pricing page), and sells trackers for trailers, generators and heavy equipment at $19 per device a month, billing term not stated (published price). If a jetter or camera needs its own maintenance schedule, ask each vendor how it would be recorded before you buy.

Backflow testing and certification tracking

Backflow work is recurring and tied to a device at a property: a preventer is installed, tested, and tested again before its certification runs out. Software helps when it can hold the device as a record at that property, schedule the next test, and keep each result where the office and the tester can both find it.

BuildOps’s plumbing page says backflow tracking is built in: devices tracked by property, recurring maintenance visits scheduled, and service history kept with each device (plumbing page). Its FAQ goes further in a list of what a commercial plumber should look for, naming certification expiry dates, the date of the last inspection and updates from the mobile app, and forms that crews work through step by step on site.

No other vendor’s plumbing page on this list mentions backflow testing. In those products, the nearest fit is to record the device as equipment at the property and the repeat test as a recurring agreement or visit, so the equipment tracking and service agreements rows of the features table are the ones to check. BuildOps lists service agreements and memberships; Service Fusion's plan pages do not list them (Starter and Plus: Help center mentions an add-on without naming plans. Pro: New Service Agreements module is in closed beta). Ask each vendor to show a device, its test history and the next due date before you sign.

Residential service, commercial work or projects?

There is no overall winner here; the right product depends on the work. These questions narrow the choice, using what each vendor publishes about its prices and on its plumbing page, not any use of the products.

Mostly residential service and emergency calls. Start with the vendors whose plumbing pages are built around booking and dispatch for urgent calls: Housecall Pro, Jobber and Workiz (Housecall Pro, Jobber, Workiz). FieldPulse’s plumbing page describes tagging urgent jobs so they are handled first (plumbing page). Jobber sells its published plans online with no sales call (pricing page), while FieldPulse quotes after a demo (pricing page). Our Housecall Pro and Jobber head-to-head compares the two on cost at each team size, and the Jobber and Workiz head-to-head does the same for that pair.

Service calls plus repipes, remodels or new construction. Staged billing and job costing matter here. Housecall Pro and Jobber both describe progress invoicing on their plumbing pages (Housecall Pro, Jobber). Jobber includes job costing from Grow; Housecall Pro includes it from Essentials. If projects are most of the work, Knowify’s and ServiceTitan’s plumbing pages describe project tracking and AIA billing (Knowify, ServiceTitan), and BuildOps’s describes projects and service running in one system (plumbing page).

Commercial service contracts and backflow programs. BuildOps serves commercial contractors only (about page), ServiceTitan has a commercial section on its plumbing page (plumbing page), and FieldEdge pitches its plumbing page at companies with several business units or locations (plumbing page). Each quotes after a demo (BuildOps, ServiceTitan, FieldEdge); the BuildOps and ServiceTitan head-to-head sets out what each publishes about its terms, and the ServiceTitan price list covers its packages.

Where your books live. If you want to keep QuickBooks, Knowify and Service Fusion both describe two-way syncs on their plumbing pages (Knowify, Service Fusion). If you want one system with its own ledger instead, ServMan PRO replaces separate accounting software (FAQ). BuildOps links to ERPs as well as QuickBooks (integrations).

Plumbing inventory, trucks and tools

Plumbers carry a lot of stock on the truck, and keeping it counted is a separate job from scheduling. ServiceTitan’s plumbing page describes warehouse counts, truck restocking and purchase orders (plumbing page), and Knowify’s describes inventory tracked across locations with parts allocated to jobs (plumbing page). Which plan includes it varies: Service Fusion includes inventory from Plus (an add-on on Starter); Knowify includes it on Enterprise (an add-on on Core and Advanced).

For tools, Knowify sells Tool Tracking, $99 a month, billing term not stated (published price), which needs at least one tracked vehicle on the account (pricing page). Software sold to plumbing supply houses and merchants is a different product and is not compared here.

Scheduling and invoicing tools for plumbers

If dispatch is the part you most need to get right, our field service scheduling software comparison prices each vendor on the cheapest plan that includes scheduling and dispatch. If billing is, the field service invoicing software comparison does the same for QuickBooks Online sync. For a heating and cooling business, the HVAC software comparison uses HVAC pricing and HVAC features, and the electrical contractor software comparison covers AIA billing and change orders for electrical shops. Every plan of every vendor, with its yearly cost at three team sizes, is in the field service software price index.
