Who AceWatt is for, who ServiceTitan is for
Honest framing, not endorsements. Confirm ServiceTitan specifics on servicetitan.com.
Choose AceWatt if
- You run a small or mid-size electrical shop, not a multi-trade enterprise.
- You want AI to draft estimates, summarize job walks, and prepare follow-up — with contractor approval before anything is sent.
- You want transparent published pricing starting at Starter $49 / Growth $99 / Scale $199.
- Quote → invoice continuity matters more than enterprise-grade FSM module depth.
Stay on ServiceTitan if
- You operate at enterprise FSM scale across many trades and locations.
- You require depth across dispatch, inventory, payroll, marketing, and reporting modules in one platform.
- You have dedicated implementation and admin staff for enterprise rollouts.
Who should switch
Electrical shops paying for enterprise FSM depth they do not use, or shops where ServiceTitan's complexity slows down the day-to-day quote, job-walk, and invoice flow.
ServiceTitan often suits large multi-trade operators with enterprise FSM needs. Electrical shops that want simpler quote → job walk → invoice workflows with AI assistance frequently fit AceWatt better.

Built for electrical contractors, not every trade
AceWatt focuses on the workflow that creates electrical revenue: lead, job walk, quote, follow-up, schedule, invoice, paid.
Electrical-first CRM
Built around how electrical shops earn money. Quotes, job walks, follow-up, scheduling, and invoicing share one customer record.
AI job walks
Voice and photo capture in the field. AceWatt drafts a structured summary so the office can quote without rebuilding the visit from memory.
AI estimate drafts with contractor approval
AI proposes line items from job-walk notes and the electrical pricebook. The contractor edits, approves, and sends — pricing stays under contractor control.
Follow-up that protects revenue
Pending quotes show up on a follow-up list with AI-drafted messages. Nothing rots in a sent folder.
Quote → invoice without re-keying
Accepted scope flows into deposit, progress, or final invoices. Stripe payments reconcile back to the job and customer.

Starter $49, Growth $99, Scale $199, Custom — visible on /pricing today.

Switching from ServiceTitan to AceWatt
The goal is to avoid losing customer history, quote scope, or invoice continuity during the move. Work through this checklist before cutting over.
- Export customers, properties, and contact details from ServiceTitan — confirm the export format in its help center.
- Export jobs, quotes, invoices, and notes — confirm whether attachments (photos, files) come with the export.
- Document existing pipeline stages: lead → estimate → follow-up → accepted → scheduled → invoiced → closed.
- List every estimate template, scope language block, and material/labor item your office reuses today.
- Map ServiceTitan customer, job, estimate, invoice, and call history fields to AceWatt records.
- Re-create pipeline stages your office uses today — lead, estimate, follow-up, accepted, scheduled, invoiced, closed.
- Identify which ServiceTitan modules you actually use day-to-day so the AceWatt workflow can match real usage, not paid-for features.
- Plan a 14-day evaluation where one or two real jobs run end-to-end on AceWatt before fully migrating.
- Train dispatcher and field techs on the new mobile flow before relying on it for live jobs.
- Audit the first week of jobs after migration — quote speed, follow-up cadence, invoice timing, and customer history continuity.
