Common questions
Can CMDBLD do dispatch like ServiceTitan?
Yes — CMDBLD includes dispatch with a price book (importable from ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro), itemized invoices with photos, and pay-now receipts, plus full project construction management ServiceTitan does not focus on.
Is CMDBLD cheaper than ServiceTitan?
For most teams, yes. ServiceTitan is quoted per technician; CMDBLD is a flat all-in price with unlimited users on the Pro tier.
Does CMDBLD replace my accounting too?
Yes — a real general ledger with AP/AR, bank reconciliation, and 1099 prep is built in, so you do not need a separate accounting subscription. Certified payroll (WH-347) for prevailing-wage jobs is included too.
