This page is the rulebook for every number on the site. The site owner does not test or buy the products we compare.
Software prices and features
Software prices and features come from the vendor’s official public pricing page, or an official help article when the marketing pricing URL cannot be read. Third-party blogs are never a price source. Each figure is stored with a date checked (current dataset: Nov. 12, 2026, America/Chicago) and the URL.
If an official page does not publish a price, user cap, or extra-seat cost, record it as not published; do not estimate, and do not treat “save 20%” as an itemized annual price unless the official page states the dollars.
If amounts are missing from readable HTML, another official page (such as a vendor llms.txt) may be used and must be disclosed. The saved Workiz dataset uses its official llms.txt; LawnPro uses its official help article dated July 22, 2026.
Features — routing, recurring billing, online booking, chemical or treatment logs, QuickBooks sync, photo quotes — are marked included only when an official page clearly says they are.
ServiceTitan official pricing is per-technician and quote-based; never invent a starting price. The picker (later) shows ServiceTitan only for businesses with 3 or more technicians and a full-time office employee, matching ServiceTitan’s own published referral criteria.
Wage defaults: official, not local
Wage defaults are U.S. BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2025, national median hourly wages, official Table 1 and the official PDF (news release USDL-26-0725, May 15, 2026). SOC codes come from official BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook pages where those pages loaded.
| Trade | Official occupation / SOC | USD / hour |
|---|---|---|
| Lawn mowing and landscaping maintenance | Landscaping and groundskeeping workersSOC 37-3011 | $18.82 |
| House cleaning | Maids and housekeeping cleanersSOC 37-2012 | $17.07 |
| Pressure washing, window cleaning, gutter cleaning, pool serviceClosest official occupation | Janitors and cleaners, except maids and housekeeping cleanersSOC 37-2011 | $17.71 |
| Pest control | Pest control workersSOC 37-2021 | $21.75 |
| HVAC (optional) | Heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installersSOC 49-9021 | $29.33 |
| Plumbing (optional) | Plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfittersSOC 47-2152 | $30.67 |
| Handyman (optional)Closest official occupation | Maintenance and repair workers, generalSOC 49-9071 | $23.84 |
SOC 37-2012 is the official code for the exact OEWS title “Maids and housekeeping cleaners.” There is no unique BLS occupation for pressure washing, window cleaning, gutter cleaning, pool service, or general handyman work; those rows use the closest official occupation and are labeled that way.
The official OOH page for janitors notes that the work includes washing windows and can include outdoor tasks; it is still not a going rate for those trades. Every wage default is editable and is not the user’s wage or a local rate.
Mileage: a substantiation rate, not a charge-out rate
Vehicle cost defaults to IRS standard mileage rates for business use, checked Nov. 12, 2026:
- Jan. 1–June 30, 2026: 72.5 cents a mile (IR-2025-128).
- July 1–Dec. 31, 2026: 76 cents a mile (IR-2026-29).
That is an optional IRS substantiation rate, not a required customer charge, and is editable. The calculator selects a rate only for a date covered by the data file; outside those periods, it asks for a custom rate rather than assuming a future rate.
What we refuse to invent
We will not invent production rates, average job times, city price averages, payroll-burden defaults, review scores, review counts, testimonials without a real public source, hands-on testing claims, or traffic or revenue figures.
