Axis by axis
COV · MIG · PRC · FLDThe same four axes, scored on each tool’s own community evidence. The higher side per axis is flagged with a plain ▸ Leads tag — read the evidence weight as carefully as the number. Migration pain is inverted: lower switching pain scores higher.

Pricing model (flat-rate vs per-technician, published vs quote-gated)Matters if · You want to compare total cost before a sales call, or you're under ~10 techs where SF's flat fee undercuts ST's per-tech pricing by a wide margin.
Published, flat monthly fee with unlimited users across three tiers ($245 Starter / $382 Plus / $627 Pro on servicefusion.com/pricing). Multiple operators cite the flat fee as the explicit reason they chose or stayed with SF over ST: chilipalmer99 says SF "wins on price vs ST"; clammyhydra says SF "beats all alternatives at the price point" specifically vs a $40k/yr ST quote.
Not published — every tier ("Request Pricing") is demo-gated. Community floor is >$1,000/mo, with a 4-tech plumbing shop (Wrong-Brush-7817) reporting ~$1,700/mo before add-ons and "features [that] do not come with base package." A solo electrician (From_Earth_616_) was quoted >$1k/mo and told by the sales rep the product isn't built for a single contractor.
Field app reliabilityMatters if · Your techs work in low-signal areas or need reliable offline access — neither tool's field app clears that bar; ST's failure modes (silent data loss, ghost $0 pricing) are arguably more operationally dangerous than SF's crash-and-lose-the-session pattern.
Weak. Legacy Android app (2.5/5, 473 reviews): no offline mode, photo upload crashes, no push notifications. Newer React Native app (2.7/5) fixed some issues but broke camera zoom. Techs "absolutely hate it" per multiple operators (Disastrous_Swim4381, Intrepid_Influence_7).
Also weak, differently. 26 distinct operators reported issues: forms/quotes disappearing mid-job (Acousticsound, agk270, PlumbCrazyRefer), prices showing $0 when offline or out of signal (jethoby, Excellent_Wonder5982 — "at least once a day"), tap-to-pay crashes that still charge the customer (MasterPhilip), and heavy connectivity dependence. A minority on iPads report no issues (Tpelletier11387, ACHAT35).
Onboarding and migrationMatters if · You need to be operational fast — both tools have documented multi-month, high-friction onboarding reports; budget real implementation time and a dedicated point person for either.
Vendor offers 60-day dedicated onboarding and no setup fee, but operator reports skew painful in practice: no clean way to import existing customers (Altruistic_Bet_2018), QuickBooks sync that reformatted customer data, and one case of $2k plus $350/mo IT costs for 3 months with the system still unusable (Randominterests2019).
Consistently long and expensive. harrybalsagna4 reports a 6-month manual, one-by-one customer transfer with "zero help." Fit_Silver3574 was still not live after 2+ months with a trainer who quit mid-implementation. A roofing shop (Meatmallet63) needed "tens of thousands of additional dollars" of customization over 2 years to get it working. One dissent (OwnTutor) praised ST's own online training as "truly amazing."
Coverage at scale (does it hold up as the crew grows)Matters if · You expect to grow past 15-20 techs — SF's scale ceiling is a real, documented failure mode that ST doesn't share, but you pay for that headroom whether or not you use it yet.
Comfortable through 5–20 techs — a 10-tech HVAC operator has run SF since 2016 — but a specific, repeated scale ceiling appears above that: operators report being told they have "too many customers/jobs" and the platform "too big for the platform, delete customers" (Same-Post4779). Reporting/filtering gaps compound at scale.
This is ST's stated fit — "if you are at least a $3M shop, ST is the answer" (streetsoldat) — with strong feature depth (pricebook, reporting, financing, warehouse/inventory) confirmed by multiple 5-20 and 20+ operators. But it's explicitly not built for solo/small crews, per ST's own sales reps.
Contract terms and exit riskMatters if · You want the option to leave without a legal or financial fight — SF's month-to-month option is a materially lower-risk exit than ST's documented contract lock-in.
Month-to-month or annual prepay, no setup fee, no per-user fees. Community reports migrating AWAY from SF can be operationally slow ("take months," per one Unlucky-Race-5679 comment) but no lawyer-grade contractual exit costs are documented.
Community reports multi-year contracts with costly buyouts — one commercial roofing shop needed to hire a lawyer because legal fees were cheaper than ST's exit penalties (LaughingMagicianDM); another calls exit "cost you a fortune" (Unreal365). A 30-day cancellation window applied in one early-onboarding case (adamsandltd).

Which wins, by crew size
Never one global winnerA solo tech and a 20-truck shop are not buying the same thing. The answer changes with crew size — segmented, honest. Pick your shop; its row highlights. All four stay on file.
Read your crew sizeTap to highlight yours
All four verdicts · always on file
Solo · 1
Solo · 1: Neither is built for solo operators — SF's $245/mo flat fee is overkill for one person, and ST's own sales reps tell solos outright they're not the target market at a >$1k/mo floor; community consensus in both logs points solo operators to Jobber or Housecall Pro instead.
Crew · 2–5
Crew · 2–5: Service Fusion is the clear pick at this size: its Starter tier ($245/mo unlimited users) undercuts ST's reported ~$1,700/mo-before-add-ons for a comparable 4-tech shop, and SF's month-to-month terms avoid ST's contract lock-in — the trade-off is SF's own migration-in pain (customer import, QB sync issues), which is real but smaller than what a 2-5 crew would face implementing ST.
Crew · 5–20
Crew · 5–20: This is where the choice gets genuinely close: SF's flat-fee pricing keeps saving $500-1,000+/mo over ST's per-tech cost at 10-15 techs, but ST's deeper reporting and feature coverage are the reason some shops explicitly stay ("worth every penny" — kchimebauch, who used both) — pick SF if cost and month-to-month flexibility matter more than reporting depth; pick ST if you have the budget and a dedicated admin to push through its rough onboarding.
Crew · 20+
Crew · 20+: ServiceTitan is the stronger hold at this scale — it's the accepted standard above ~$3M in revenue and doesn't share SF's documented "too big for the platform" ceiling — but go in clear-eyed about multi-year contracts with expensive, sometimes lawyer-grade exits; SF's flat-fee savings are real but you'll likely hit its reporting and scale limits before ST's enterprise depth becomes unnecessary.
Score first · links second
Both scores were set before any link.
Scores are set before any affiliate link is added. A tool with no affiliate program that scores higher still ranks higher. The score is the score — neither side moved for a payout.
Every score traces to a logged community source. If we can’t point to where the evidence came from, it doesn’t go on the file.

Both sides, evidencedGate rule
A matchup only publishes when both tools clear the evidence bar. If either side were short on any axis, this comparison would stay out of search rather than half-publish.
