PaveDesk vs ServiceTitan

Paving is a project trade, not a service-visit trade. Jobs take multiple days, involve material deliveries and equipment staging, require detailed scope documentation for commercial clients, and often have change orders mid-project. PaveDesk is built around this reality: GPS audit → proposal → work order → job tracking → invoice, with every step connected.

ServiceTitan's workflow is designed for service visits: dispatch a tech, complete the visit in a few hours, collect payment on-site. This model works brilliantly for HVAC tune-ups and drain cleaning. It does not map to a 3-day parking lot resurfacing project with multiple crews, material deliveries, and a property manager who needs progress updates.

PaveDesk starts at $49/month. Pro is $99/month for up to 5 users. Setup takes minutes — import your services, upload your logo, and you're sending proposals the same day. No implementation fee, no onboarding contract, no minimum commitment.

ServiceTitan charges $245–$500 per technician per month, with implementation fees ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 and an onboarding process that takes 2–6 months. For a 5-person paving team, that's $1,225–$2,500/month ongoing, plus a potentially five-figure upfront cost — before you send a single proposal.

PaveDesk was designed specifically for paving and asphalt contractors. GPS site audits with satellite mapping, pavement condition severity ratings, proposal photo documentation, optional add-on services (sealcoating, crack filling), change order workflows, and a client portal designed for how property managers evaluate bids.

ServiceTitan does not have a single paving-specific feature. There is no GPS site audit, no pavement condition assessment, no asphalt-specific estimating, and no paving industry templates. Searching servicetitan.com for "paving" or "asphalt" returns zero results. Contractors who have tried to use ServiceTitan for paving consistently report that the workflow doesn't fit.
