Service Business Academy is an independent resource for home service professionals — tracking every major FSM platform, publishing business strategies, and building free tools that contractors actually use.
Companies like Jobber, Housecall Pro, and ServiceTitan spend millions on marketing to convince contractors their tool is the best — but nobody is putting all of them side by side and telling the truth about what works and what doesn’t.
Service Business Academy was built to fill that gap. Every week, we track feature updates, pricing changes, and product launches across every major FSM platform. We publish what we find. No spin.
Beyond software, SBA covers the fundamentals that contractors actually need — how to get customers, how to start a service business, how to price work, and which non-CRM tools are worth paying for. Everything is built from real industry knowledge, not recycled blog content.
If we have a relationship with a company in this space, we say so. Every recommendation has context. No hidden agendas. See our full disclosure below.
We don’t review software from screenshots or press releases. Every CRM analysis is based on hands-on use, public product updates, and verified feature documentation.
Every piece of content is written for the person running the business — not the person selling them software. The goal is usefulness, not traffic.
Every Monday — a full breakdown of what changed across Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, and every other FSM platform.
Lead generation strategies, local SEO, referral systems, and marketing tactics for home service businesses across 50+ industries.
Step-by-step guides with real startup cost data, licensing requirements, and equipment lists by industry.
Honest reviews of non-CRM tools — accounting software, fleet tracking, review management, phone systems, and marketing platforms.
Interactive tools built from real-world data — startup costs, profit margins, and revenue planning.
Products built for contractors — lead generation, remote business training, and video ad templates.
We monitor product updates, pricing changes, feature launches, and integrations across the entire field service management landscape.
Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you purchase through them — at no extra cost to you. We have relationships with some companies in the home service software space. These relationships never influence our analysis or recommendations. If a tool is good, we say so. If it isn’t, we say that too. Our goal is to give you accurate information so you can make the best decision for your business.
