ServiceTrade review and pricing

Commercial service contractor platform for fire safety, HVAC, mechanical.

By ServiceTrade · Founded 2012 · Durham, NC · private

ServiceTrade is the commercial service contractor platform, founded 2012 in Durham. Privately-held; PE-backed by JMI Equity. The platform specializes in commercial service contractors (fire safety, commercial HVAC, mechanical, electrical), distinct from residential trades. Strengths: deep commercial service specialization, mature project management for multi-site jobs, NFPA + commercial compliance workflows, strong fit for commercial service contractors, and proven scale. Best fit for commercial service contractors (fire safety, commercial HVAC, mechanical) at $5M+ revenue. Trade-offs: not appropriate for residential trades (ServiceTitan/Jobber better), JMI PE pressure pattern, brand recognition limited to commercial service vertical, AI features below ServiceTitan, and per-user pricing at enterprise tiers.

Best for

Commercial service contractors (fire safety, commercial HVAC, mechanical, electrical) at $5M+ revenue with multi-site project work.

Worst for

Residential trades (ServiceTitan/Jobber better), SMB self-service buyers (Workiz better), or buyers wanting modern UX velocity.

Vendor Trust is scored independently of product quality. A great product from an unfair vendor still earns a low trust score.
