ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Purpose-Built FSM AI vs. Residential Service AI
AI trained on commercial field service data produces field service outcomes. AI trained on residential billing and booking produces residential outcomes.

- ✓ Anomaly detection on work order completion rates/span>
- ✓ Field reporting analysis — surface patterns from technician notes
- ✓ Included from the Optimized plan and above — no separate add-on required
ServiceTitan AI (Titan Intelligence)
Primarily residential-optimised; growing commercial capabilities- ✗ Advanced AI features require separate Pro add-on modules (e.g., Dispatch Pro, Marketing Pro)
- ✗ AI features primarily optimised for residential booking and upsell flows
- ~ Scheduling AI available but residential route-optimisation focus
- ~ Reporting AI (Insights) requires Enterprise plan
- ✗ Not purpose-trained on commercial FSM or multi-site operations

BEING TRANSPARENT
Being Honest: When Might ServiceTitan Make Sense?
We believe in earning your business with truth, not fear. Here is when ServiceTitan is actually a reasonable fit.
Praxedo is the better fit if…
- ✓ You run commercial field service operations — dispatching, scheduling, and mobile technicians
- ✓ You need to go live fast, without a 3-6 month implementation projec
- ✓ You use Microsoft Business Central, SAP, or another ERP that needs to connect cleanly
- ✓ You serve industries outside residential home services: utilities, telecom, healthcare, fire safety
- ✓ You need European deployment or multilingual platform support
ServiceTitan may be the right fit if…
- → You operate a residential home services business in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical
- → Your business model is franchise-based and relies on ServiceTitan franchise tools
- → You primarily need residential booking, billing, and dispatch — not complex commercial FSM
- → Your technician count is under 20 and your operations are route-based residential service
TRANSPARENT PRICING
Transparent Pricing vs. Complex Licensing
One price. No surprises. No tiers to navigate before you know what you are actually paying.
