CentralCommand vs ServiceTitan
80% of the features. 10% of the cost. Zero onboarding fees.
ServiceTitan is the gold standard for large operations with 20+ technicians. But if you're running a 3-15 person team, you're paying $25,000-40,000/year for features you'll never use. CentralCommand gives you the features that actually matter — dispatch, CRM, invoicing, communications, AI — at a fraction of the cost.
What ServiceTitan Users Complain About
Per-technician pricing: $245-500/tech/month — costs skyrocket as you hire
Onboarding fees: $5,000-$50,000 before you process a single job
3-12 month onboarding timeline — months before you see ROI
12-month contracts with auto-renewal — early termination fees up to $39,375
Mobile app rated 3.0★ on iOS, 2.7★ on Android — worst in class for a premium product
Marketing Pro, Phones Pro, Dispatch AI — all paid add-ons on top of premium pricing
No transparent pricing — requires sales demo to even see costs
Overkill for teams under 10 technicians

“ServiceTitan is incredible software — for companies doing $5M+ revenue with 20+ techs and dedicated office staff. If that's you, it might be worth it. But if you're a 3-15 person team? You're paying $25,000-40,000/year for features you'll never use. CentralCommand gives you dispatch, CRM, estimates, invoicing, payments, reviews, AI, and a unified inbox for $3,348/year. That's not a compromise — that's smart business.”
