Key takeaways
- Jobber and Housecall Pro are solid and cheapest for a solo operator, but bill in US dollars and are not offered in French.
- ServiceTitan targets large companies: no published pricing, quoted per technician, in US dollars.
- PlanOps and Lume are built in Quebec, in French and English. PlanOps requires a 12-month commitment; Lume is month to month.
- Lume includes door-to-door sales tools and a $15/month standby plan for the off-season.
You run a home service business in Canada (window cleaning, landscaping, renovation, HVAC, cleaning…) and you need software for clients, quotes, scheduling and invoices. Here are the five names that come up most often, compared on what matters here: language, Canadian-dollar pricing, commitment, sales tools and the off-season.
To be transparent: this guide is published by Lume. Every fact about a competitor comes from its public documentation, checked on October 26, 2026, with sources at the bottom. Every product gets a "who it's for" section, including when it isn't Lume.

Jobber
Jobber is one of the most widely used tools for service businesses: quotes, scheduling, invoicing, texting and online payments. Its Core plan, $49 USD per month for one user, is the lowest starting price on this list. The Plus plan includes 5 users for $499 USD per month, with extra users at about $29 USD each.
Who it's for: you work in English, you're solo or nearly, and you want the lowest entry price. See Lume vs Jobber or Lume as a Jobber alternative in Canada.
Housecall Pro
Housecall Pro covers the same ground as Jobber, plus online booking straight from Google. Plans run from $79 USD per month (Basic, 1 user) to $329 USD per month (Max, 8 users), with an annual discount. The app is offered in English and Spanish.
Who it's for: you work in English and booking from Google matters to you. See Lume vs Housecall Pro.
ServiceTitan
ServiceTitan is a very complete platform built for large HVAC, plumbing and electrical companies, with a long list of integrations. It publishes no prices (everything is quoted, per technician), bills in US dollars, and we found no French version in its public documentation.
Who it's for: a large HVAC, plumbing or electrical company with the budget and staff for a heavy platform. See Lume vs ServiceTitan.
PlanOps
PlanOps is built in Quebec, designed in French, with support in French and English. It stands out with job measurements from satellite imagery, useful in construction and renovation. It requires a 12-month commitment: prepaid annually, it costs $297.50 per month for 3 to 10 users, plus setup fees starting at $650.
Who it's for: construction or renovation, you want satellite measurements, and an annual commitment is fine. See Lume vs PlanOps.
Lume
Lume is field service software built in Quebec, in English and French, by an exterior cleaning business owner who runs his own company on it. It brings together requests, quotes signed online (with open alerts and follow-ups), scheduling and routes, invoices with GST/QST paid by card, timesheets and payroll.
What sets it apart: month-to-month billing with no commitment, door-to-door sales tools (territory map, rep leaderboard, commissions) on the Autopilot plan, and a $15/month standby plan for the off-season.
| Plan | Price per month (CAD) | Users included |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | $150 | 3 |
| Scale | $347 | 10 |
| Autopilot | $495 | 20 |
Its limits, honestly: Lume is new (launched in 2026), it doesn't yet have the integration ecosystem of Jobber or ServiceTitan, and it costs more than Jobber Core if you work alone. There is no free trial: everything starts with a demo.
Who it's for: a crew that wants Canadian-dollar pricing, works in French or both languages, sells by neighbourhood or door to door, or has a dead winter. See pricing.
How to choose
- Solo and in English: Jobber Core or Housecall Pro Basic.
- Large HVAC or plumbing company: ServiceTitan.
- French or bilingual crew: PlanOps or Lume. PlanOps for satellite measurements if an annual commitment suits you; Lume for month-to-month billing, door-to-door sales or a seasonal business.
Whatever you pick, test it with a real quote and a real invoice before you sign.
