Key differences
Published pricing vs. request-a-quote tiers
Forz publishes its price: $50 per user/month on annual plans, $60 month-to-month, with a 10-user minimum and every core module included. As of October 5, 2026, ServiceTrade’s pricing page uses “transparent pricing” language but lists no dollar figures; deals are quote-based by technician count across Select, Premium, and Enterprise. Third-party sites (WithEssential, current as of May 2026; TradesIndex, 2026) report roughly $79–$159 per technician per month, billed annually. Confirm current pricing with ServiceTrade. With Forz, you know your software cost before the first sales call.
Inspection depth without the inspection-only focus
Credit where due: ServiceTrade built its reputation on commercial fire and life safety inspections, deficiency capture, and turning findings into repair work. Forz brings the same compliance discipline through device-level inspections with barcodes, configurable frequencies from daily to every 7 years, Pass/Fail/Bypass results with photos, customer-downloadable inspection PDFs, and technician certificate tracking. Inventory, purchasing, CRM, and time tracking are included in the same per-user price.
Inventory and purchasing on every plan
As of October 6, 2026, ServiceTrade's pricing page lists parts and inventory management under its Enterprise suite only. ServiceTrade also markets PartsManager, a separate product for parts purchasing, inventory and purchase orders, and its pricing page doesn't say which suite includes it. Forz includes an items catalog, per-location stock levels with reorder points, purchase orders, vendor bills, and PO-from-sales-order generation on every plan, so there's no tier to negotiate.
One platform for the full job lifecycle
ServiceTrade concentrates on service operations, and as of 2026 its published suite comparison spreads the customer portal, technician timecards, project management, and analytics across the Premium and Enterprise suites. Forz runs leads and deals, estimates, route-optimized dispatch, recurring jobs and invoices, online invoice payment through Stripe (processing fees apply), QuickBooks Online sync, dashboards, and a When-If-Then automation engine, all for one per-user price.
Why companies switch from ServiceTrade

Paying for Premium or Enterprise suites just to get a customer portal, technician timecards, project management, or analytics
Need parts, inventory, and purchase orders without stepping up to an Enterprise tier
Want sales CRM, dispatch, inspections, billing, and reporting in one system instead of an inspection-centric core plus upgrades
Worried about switching costs? Forz includes a free standard data import and guided onboarding, with month-to-month billing available
