Trade2Base vs ServiceTitan
ServiceTitan is powerful enterprise field service software — but it costs $298+ per technician per month, bills in USD, requires weeks of onboarding and has no UK compliance features. Trade2Base is £29–179/month flat, UK-built and operational within an hour.
ServiceTitan's published pricing starts at $298 per technician per month in the US — approximately £240+ at current rates, before currency conversion fees. A 3-person team would pay £720+/month before setup costs. This is comparable to enterprise software like Salesforce, not trade business software. Trade2Base Professional costs £59/month for up to 3 engineers — Growth covers up to 8 for £99/month.

Where Trade2Base pulls ahead
A fraction of the price
ServiceTitan starts at $298 per technician per month — a 3-person team costs over $900/month, plus setup fees of thousands of dollars. Trade2Base Professional costs £59/month flat for up to 3 engineers. For UK small-to-mid trade businesses, ServiceTitan's pricing is simply prohibitive.
UK-built vs US enterprise software
ServiceTitan was built for large North American HVAC, plumbing and electrical businesses. UK VAT invoicing, Gas Safe certificate management, NICEIC compliance, CIS tax handling and GBP billing are not its priorities. Trade2Base was built from day one for UK trade businesses of all sizes.

When ServiceTitan might suit you better
- You are a large North American HVAC, plumbing or electrical business with 20+ technicians where ServiceTitan's enterprise scheduling, dispatch and call centre tools are genuinely best-in-class for that market
- You have an enterprise IT budget — ServiceTitan customers typically spend $5,000+ per month on software — and need the deepest possible feature set with dedicated implementation support
- Your business operates entirely in the US or Canada where ServiceTitan's financing integrations, consumer-grade booking experience and local payment processors are strong advantages over UK-oriented software
- You are already embedded in the ServiceTitan ecosystem with years of historical data, technician training and integrated call centre operations — the switching cost is genuinely high at that scale
