Choose your processor. Not theirs.
Jobber pushes Jobber Payments with their processing fees. ServiceTitan locks you into their payment platform for premium features. Calisto connects to 55+ payment gateways across 9 global regions. Collect deposits, charge on completion, split payments, and process financing with the processor you already trust.
Field service needs more than dispatch
Scheduling and routing are table stakes. Growing a service business requires marketing to generate leads, proposals to close deals, a customer portal that builds trust, and communication tools that keep everyone connected — capabilities that Jobber and ServiceTitan weren't built for.
Customer Portal: Not a Payment Link
Jobber's "client hub" lets customers approve quotes and pay invoices. That's it. ServiceTitan has no real customer portal. Calisto Navigator gives every customer a full self-service portal: view upcoming appointments, approve and sign proposals, track job progress with photos, view invoices and payment history, message their technician, leave reviews, and request new service — all branded to your company.
- ✓Appointment scheduling and real-time job tracking
- ✓Proposal approval with legally binding e-signatures
- ✓Invoice history with one-click payment
- ✓Direct messaging with assigned technician or office
Marketing Automation: Not a Basic Email Blast
Jobber has basic email campaigns. ServiceTitan has Marketing Pro at $500+/month extra. Calisto Studio is a full marketing automation engine included in every subscription. Automated drip campaigns, seasonal promotions, review requests after job completion, referral incentives, win-back sequences for dormant customers, and audience segmentation by service type, location, and spend history.
- ✓Automated post-job review request sequences
- ✓Seasonal service reminders (HVAC tune-ups, gutter cleaning)
- ✓Win-back campaigns for dormant customers
- ✓Audience segmentation by service type and spend history
VoIP Calling: Not a $500/Month Add-On
ServiceTitan charges hundreds per month for their VoIP add-on. Jobber has no calling at all. Calisto Calling is a native VoIP system included in every subscription. Call tracking, call recording, automated call routing, missed call follow-up, and every call is logged against the customer's contact record and job file automatically.
- ✓Native VoIP with call recording and tracking
- ✓Automated call routing to the right technician or office
- ✓Missed call detection with automatic follow-up SMS
- ✓Every call logged to customer record and job file
2% of revenue. Everything included.
ServiceTitan hides pricing behind mandatory demos and requires annual contracts. Jobber charges $49–$299/month with user limits. Calisto charges 2% of revenue with all 15 products included from day one. No per-user fees, no annual contracts. You pay when you earn.
Switching questions
Calisto supports all field service trades: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, painting, landscaping, cleaning, pest control, pool service, and more. Custom job forms, checklists, and workflows adapt to your trade. Equipment tracking, photo documentation, and progress invoicing work across all job types.
Calisto handles recurring services natively through Pulse: maintenance agreements, subscription plans, seasonal service packages, and membership programs. Auto-scheduling, auto-invoicing, and renewal reminders are all included. Customers manage their agreements through the Navigator portal.
Yes. Calisto's Vendor portal gives subcontractors their own login where they see assigned work orders, submit completion photos, log hours, and view payment status. No per-user fees for vendor accounts. You maintain full visibility into subcontractor work without sharing your entire system.
Yes. Start for free with full access to all 15 products. No credit card required, no time limit, and no feature restrictions. You only pay the 2% revenue share once you begin processing transactions.
Because it makes us partners, not just a vendor. A fixed subscription means your software company gets paid whether you have a record month or an empty lobby. A revenue share means we are financially invested in building tools that actually grow your business. If you have a slow month or a seasonal closure, your bill scales down with you.
