Dispatch software does not make the phone ring.
ServiceTitan helps you run jobs you already have. Operator finds you the jobs you are missing and fixes the reasons customers are not calling. Both can coexist, but only one grows your revenue from the outside in.
Add-ons like marketing, reporting, or financing modules can increase total cost. Operator covers the full operation with Autopilot at $499/mo with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Based on user-reported timelines on G2 and Capterra. Operator is live in 5 minutes after claiming your listing.
ServiceTitan does not affect how often customers find you. Operator improves your Health Score and local search rank every night.
