ServiceTitan runs the schedule. Maximus runs the business.
ServiceTitan costs $50K–$70K/year for software plus another $45K–$65K for an admin to run it. It still doesn't answer your phone, chase your invoices, or produce the documented operations a buyer values. Keep ServiceTitan for scheduling. Add Maximus for the rest of the work that builds the asset.
What ServiceTitan does well
ServiceTitan is the enterprise-grade FSM platform for large home services companies. Scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, marketing, reporting. For 50+ person operations with a full-time admin, it is the industry standard. We respect what they built.
What about ServiceTitan Atlas?
ServiceTitan launched Atlas, their AI layer. Atlas helps you use ServiceTitan better. It summarizes calls, suggests pricing, and surfaces insights from your ServiceTitan data.
Maximus does the work. He answers the calls Atlas summarizes. He collects the invoices Atlas reports on. He contacts the customers Atlas identifies as dormant.
The difference in one sentence:
Atlas tells you what happened. Maximus makes it happen.
What ServiceTitan does not do
The real cost comparison
| ServiceTitan + Admin | Maximus | |
|---|---|---|
| Software cost | $50-70K/year | $697/mo or 10% (whichever higher) |
| Admin to run it | $45-65K/year | $0 (AI runs itself) |
| Total annual cost | $95-135K/year | $8,364/yr floor (more if he recovers) |
| After-hours calls | No | 24/7/365 |
| Customer reactivation | No | AI contacts hundreds/week |
| Collections automation | Basic reminders | 4-step AI sequence |
| Morning briefings | No | Every day before your first job |
| Guarantee | None | Outperform fees in 90 days or money back |
What this means at exit
ServiceTitan produces operational data. That's necessary but not sufficient. Buyers in the trades roll-up don't pay extra for ServiceTitan licenses — they assume you have one. They pay extra for what your business has actually done with the data: documented operations, KPI history, recurring customer relationships, an owner who can step away.
Maximus produces all of that as a byproduct. Every action logged. Every change date-stamped. Every metric historical. The shop runs on documented processes a buyer can underwrite — not on the institutional knowledge in your head.
The frame
ServiceTitan is the system of record. Maximus is the system of work. Build it like you'd sell it — whether you sell or not.
The $39,000 exit fee nobody mentions
ServiceTitan contracts typically run 3 years. Early termination fees can reach $39,000. That is a real number from a BBB complaint. Maximus has no long-term contracts. No termination fees. Cancel anytime. You stay because it works.
We win when you win.
90 days. If Maximus does not recover more than you pay in fees, every dollar back.
You keep whatever the agents collected. Email one sentence: "I want my refund." Processed in 48 hours. No call. No forms. No guilt trip.

1 of 20 spots claimed. 19 founding spots remaining. Founding price closes when the 20th spot sells — no extensions.
P.S. — The average ServiceTitan customer pays $115K–$153K/year in software + admin and still has nobody chasing AR after 30 days, reactivating dormant customers, or producing morning briefings. Maximus runs around ServiceTitan and does all of it — for $497/mo on Founding 20. The math at exit is even less close than the math today.
