Every major field service platform offers some form of free trial — but the length, what's included, and whether you need a credit card varies significantly. This guide covers the trial terms for each platform and what you should actually test during your evaluation window.
| Platform | Trial length | Credit card required | Full features during trial |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jobber | 14 days | No | Yes (Team Connect features) |
| Housecall Pro | 14 days | No | Yes |
| FieldPulse | 14 days | No | Yes |
| Workiz | 7 days | No | Yes |
| Service Fusion | 30 days | No | Yes |
| ServiceTitan | Demo only | N/A | Guided demo, not self-serve |
Service Fusion offers the longest trial — 30 days, no credit card. If you want maximum time to run real jobs through the software before committing, this is the most generous option. Particularly worth evaluating if you have a larger team where flat-fee unlimited-user pricing matters.
Jobber's 14-day trial gives you access to Team Connect features — the tier most growing trade businesses end up on. You can run real quotes, dispatch real jobs, and invoice real customers. The trial is fully functional, not a demo.
Housecall Pro's trial gives you full access including the online booking widget, automated review requests, and the mobile app. Enough time to run a real week of jobs and see whether the workflow fits.
7 days is tight for a real evaluation. You'll need to be deliberate about what you test. Focus on the communication tools — the built-in phone system and SMS — since that's Workiz's primary differentiator.
ServiceTitan requires a guided demo rather than a self-serve trial. This is standard for enterprise software — the platform is complex enough that a demo is genuinely useful. But it also means you're in a sales process before you've confirmed fit.
Don't just click around. Run your actual workflow:
If you can't get through that list in 14 days, the software isn't right for you — or you need more time, in which case Service Fusion's 30-day trial is worth considering.
None of these platforms require a long-term contract to start — you can go month-to-month on any of them. Annual plans are cheaper (typically 15–20% discount) but you're not locked in from day one. Start monthly, switch to annual once you've confirmed the platform works for your operation.
