Thryv alternatives: what to use instead, and when Thryv is still the better pick

Who this page is for

• You use Thryv today and your renewal date is coming up.
• A Thryv rep pitched you, and you want to see what else is out there first.
• You bought Thryv for marketing and now need dispatch, crews or a price book.
• You’re comparing Thryv with Jobber, Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan by name.

Why trade businesses look for Thryv alternatives

Most reasons fall into three groups.

1. They need field tools. Thryv’s pages don’t describe a dispatch board, technician GPS, route optimization, equipment records or a flat-rate price book. Shops that dispatch all day feel that gap.
2. They want a different price shape. Thryv’s main plans are $99 and $399 per month, as of October 2026. A solo plumber who mainly needs quotes and invoices may pay less elsewhere.
3. They had a hard time with billing or cancellation. Those are the most common complaint themes in Thryv’s Trustpilot reviews, which averaged 2.6 out of 5 when I checked in October 2026.

My Thryv review covers its plans, features and public ratings in full, so this page focuses on what to use instead.

Check your Thryv contract before you switch

Thryv’s small business terms say annual periods renew automatically and that you must give written notice at least 30 days before the next period starts. Outside the first 3 days after purchase, the terms say refunds are not given except as the terms state.

Find your order form, note the end of your current period, and plan the switch so the new tool is running before Thryv ends. The full list of terms is in the contract section of my Thryv review.

Thryv alternatives compared

Prices come from each provider’s pricing page, as of October 2026. Thryv and Copper are providers I work with. I don’t work with the others.

Alternative	Best if	Published pricing	Watch out for
Jobber	You need quotes, scheduling, invoicing and crews at a published price	Core $29/mo billed annually (1 user); Connect from $99; Grow from $149; Plus from $399 (5 users)	Two-way texting and job costing start at Grow; marketing tools are a $99/mo add-on below Plus
Housecall Pro	You run a residential plumbing, HVAC or electrical shop that sells financing and service plans	Basic $59, Essentials $149 (5 users), Max $299 (8 users) per month billed annually	Flat-rate pricing at Essentials; service plans and route optimization at Max
ServiceTitan	You have dispatchers, call takers and a replacement sales team	Not published; per technician after a demo	No public prices; heavier setup
Workiz	You want field service plus phone and AI answering add-ons	Not published; 7-day trial	Prices only on request; phone and answering are sold separately
FieldEdge	You run an established HVAC, plumbing or electrical shop	Not published; annual memberships	No free trial
Keap (owned by Thryv)	You want sales and marketing automation more than field tools	$299/mo monthly or $2,988/yr, 2 users, $39/mo per extra user	Required onboarding; no dispatch tools listed
HubSpot	You want a sales CRM with marketing tools and a free start	Free tools for up to 2 users; Starter lists at $20 per seat per month	Not built for dispatching field crews
Copper	Your team sells bids from Gmail and Google Workspace	Basic $23, Professional $59, Business $99 per seat per month billed annually	Its site doesn’t list scheduling, dispatch or a technician app
LMN or Service Autopilot	You run a landscaping or lawn care company	LMN from $297/mo plus onboarding; Service Autopilot from $49/mo plus sign-up fee	Built for landscaping, not other trades

HubSpot’s Starter page also showed a limited-time discount for new customers when I checked [VERIFICAR]. Landscaping specialists are compared in detail on the landscaping software page.

Thryv vs Jobber

Jobber is field service software first. It publishes every tier, from Core at $29 per month billed annually up to Plus at $399 per month for 5 users, and offers a 14-day trial of its Grow plan without a credit card.

Thryv is marketing first. Its plans center on listings, reviews, a website and social media, and it adds CRM, scheduling, estimates and invoices.

Pick Jobber if your day is about quoting, scheduling crews and getting paid. Pick Thryv if your day is about getting the phone to ring and following up with past customers. Jobber sells its own Marketing Suite at $99 per month as an add-on, so price that in if you want both from Jobber.

Thryv vs Housecall Pro

Housecall Pro is built for residential trades. Its Basic plan ($59 per month billed annually) already includes online booking, dispatch, estimates, invoicing, a price book, consumer financing and review management.

Thryv’s Starter ($99 per month) and Signature ($399 per month) plans are built around marketing. For a plumbing or HVAC shop with a few techs, Housecall Pro covers more of the daily work at a lower published price. Thryv covers more of the marketing.

If you’re a plumber, my plumbing software page compares the two in more depth. HVAC companies should read the HVAC software page, where service plans and equipment history decide it.

Thryv vs ServiceTitan

These two rarely compete for the same buyer. ServiceTitan targets shops with dispatchers, call takers and memberships, and it doesn’t publish prices. Thryv targets small businesses that need marketing and simple customer management.

Thryv’s HVAC page mentions an integration with ServiceTitan [VERIFICAR], which suggests some businesses use both: ServiceTitan for operations and Thryv for marketing.

When Thryv is still the better pick

Thryv is the better pick when:

• Most of your problem is visibility: few reviews, listings out of date, no real website.
• You want listings, review requests, social posting and a website from one company, with support included.
• Your scheduling is simple: one appointment per visit, no crews and no dispatch board.
• You’d rather have done-for-you marketing (Boosts) than run ads yourself.
• You already use Keap and want marketing and automation under one company.

If that describes you, the alternatives above may solve a problem you don’t have.

How to switch without losing data

1. Export your data first. Download customers, estimates, invoices and payment history while your account is active.
2. Check who owns your domain and website. If Thryv built your site, ask how the domain and content transfer.
3. Make sure you own your Google Business Profile. You, not a vendor, should be the primary owner.
4. Replace tracking phone numbers. If your listings show a tracking number from your old plan, update the listings before that number stops working.
5. Run both tools for two to four weeks. Book new jobs in the new tool while you close out open ones in the old one.
6. Give notice on time. Send written notice at least 30 days before your next Thryv period starts, and keep a copy.

Mistakes to avoid when switching

• Canceling before exporting. Once access ends, getting your history out is harder.
• Missing the notice date. A missed window can add a full renewal period.
• Switching to a tool built for a different problem. If marketing was your gap, a pure field service tool won’t fix it.
• Forgetting the phone numbers. Customers keep calling whatever number is on your listings.
• Moving in your busy season. Plan the switch for your slowest month.
