Compare
Home-service CRM alternatives, compared honestly.
The short version.
ALTITUDE is the office side of a home-service shop: every caller texted back, one inbox, follow-up with an owner, scheduling, estimates, invoices, a customer portal and reporting on which sources bring paid work. It is not dispatch or route software.

What is the best CRM for a small home-service business?
It depends on where your shop loses the most money. If it is dispatching trucks and running big field crews, ServiceTitan is built for that. If it is scheduling, quoting and invoicing for a small crew, Jobber and Housecall Pro are strong. If you are an agency building funnels for many clients, GoHighLevel fits. If leads slip through the cracks in the office, with missed calls, slow callbacks, conversations spread across apps and no idea which ads bring paid work, ALTITUDE is built for that, from $49 a month with every feature included.
Is there a cheaper alternative to ServiceTitan?
Yes. ServiceTitan is quote-based and aimed at larger operations. ALTITUDE has public pricing from $49 a month, a 30-day free trial with no card, and setup help included. It covers the office side (leads, follow-up, one inbox, scheduling, estimates, invoices, customer portal and source reporting) but not deep dispatch, fleet or parts inventory.
Which home-service CRM texts back missed calls?
ALTITUDE does. Every shop gets an ALTITUDE business number, and anyone who calls it gets an instant text back. You can also forward unanswered calls from your main line to that number, so those callers hear your greeting, can leave a voicemail and get the same text. ALTITUDE files the carrier registration that business texting requires.
Is there a Jobber or Housecall Pro alternative with one inbox for every channel?
ALTITUDE puts email (Gmail and Outlook), texts, website chat, Facebook Messenger and Instagram messages on one thread per customer, next to their estimates, invoices and appointments. Jobber and Housecall Pro are stronger on field work like time tracking, dispatch and tech apps.
Can I use ALTITUDE alongside the field software I already have?
Yes. Some shops keep their dispatch tool for the trucks and use ALTITUDE for the office: answering every caller, following up on leads, the customer portal and reporting. There is no native ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber sync; ALTITUDE's REST API and webhooks (which work with Zapier, Make and n8n) can connect them.
What does ALTITUDE not do?
ALTITUDE is not route optimization, truck dispatch, parts inventory or full accounting software, and it is not a website or funnel builder. QuickBooks sync is not live yet; invoices export to CSV. ALTITUDE runs in any phone browser, and native iPhone and Android apps are coming later.
