Question 1

Is Founding.dev a cheaper alternative to ServiceTitan?

Accepted Answer

It's a different model, not a cheaper clone. Instead of another per-seat subscription, you pay one flat monthly fee for the whole company, so your cost stays flat as you grow instead of climbing with every hire. You start from a proven template our engineers built, a real head start rather than a from-scratch build, then adapt it to your exact workflow instead of bending around a rigid product. Customers have cut their total software bill by up to 70%.

Question 2

How is this different from ServiceTitan's per-seat pricing?

Accepted Answer

ServiceTitan's per-technician model means your software bill grows every time you hire. Founding.dev is one flat monthly fee for the whole company. Add as many users and crews as you want and the price doesn't change. The per-seat tax that punishes growth simply goes away.

Question 3

Do you offer field service software for small business?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because the system is built to fit your operation and priced as a flat monthly fee per company, smaller field service businesses get software shaped around how they actually work, without the enterprise per-seat pricing that makes tools like ServiceTitan expensive as you scale.

Question 4

Can you build field service software for roofers, HVAC, or restoration contractors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You start from our proven template, then describe the workflow your crews run on (inspections, dispatch, field photos, estimates, signed contracts, invoicing) and AI shapes the fields, forms, and automations to match. Our team takes it the rest of the way if you'd rather. A Florida public adjusting firm did exactly this: a field reporting hub and AI e-sign that replaced CompanyCam and DocuSign.

Question 5

What happens to my data and software if I stop paying?

Accepted Answer

You own it. The code, the data, and the infrastructure are yours, hosted wherever you choose. There's no vendor lock-in and no data held hostage. When you leave, you take everything with you. That's the core difference between owning and renting.

Question 6

Do I need engineers or a dev shop to build this?

Accepted Answer

No. The foundation is a production-ready template our engineering team already built, so there's no 6 to 18 month custom build and no engineers for you to hire. You make it yours by describing what you need in plain English. Our team is on hand if you want help, or we can do the whole customization for you. Either way, you own the result.

Question 7

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Fill out the short form on Get Started (who you are, your company size, and which tools you want to replace), then book a call. On the call we look at your current stack and walk through what replacing ServiceTitan, and anything else you're overpaying for, would look like.

Question 8

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every build ships with bank-level encryption, audit trails, and SSO from day one. Security is a default, not a paid add-on. Your data is isolated, stays under your control, and is never used to train AI models.
