About Sera Systems
Sera Systems is an HVAC, plumbing, and electrical management platform built for residential service shops that have outgrown entry-tier FSM but don't need ServiceTitan's enterprise complexity or its quote-only pricing. It was created by Billy Stevens, who built two plumbing and HVAC companies in the Dallas/Fort Worth area; the software came out of beta in early 2022 and the company is based in Dallas. It combines ServiceTitan-style features (marketing attribution, membership management, consumer financing, KPI dashboards) with a modern UX.
What separates Sera from competitors is the deliberate mid-market positioning. ServiceTitan's enterprise feature set and quote-only pricing are a poor fit for a 5-tech HVAC shop. Jobber and Housecall Pro at entry-tier pricing don't have the marketing attribution, membership management, or KPI reporting that growing shops need to scale past 10 techs. Sera targets exactly this gap.
Pricing is published: Core Essentials is $399/month including unlimited admins and up to 4 technicians, with each additional technician at $149/month. Sera also charges an onboarding fee for its hands-on setup (one-on-one setup help, live team training and data migration support) but does not publish the amount, so get it quoted. ServiceTitan publishes no prices; its pricing page says pricing is per technician. Model the per-technician cost at your team size early in evaluation, since it drives the buy-vs-ServiceTitan decision.
Sera's integrations page lists QuickBooks for accounting, Global Payments and Stax for payments, Service Finance for consumer financing, HighLevel, RingCentral, pulseM, CAMP Digital, JB Warranties, Broccoli AI and Zapier.
The trade-off: Sera is newer, with a smaller customer base than ServiceTitan and a smaller third-party implementation partner ecosystem.
Pricing
| Tier | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Core Essentials | $399/mo |
Core Essentials $399/month including unlimited admins and up to 4 technicians; $149/month for each additional technician. No billing term is stated next to the price and no annual option is shown. The FAQ says Sera charges an onboarding fee; the amount is not published. The pricing section (sera.tech/pricing redirects to the homepage) does not mention a free trial. Verified against sera.tech 2026-10-08.
Sera Systems starts at $399/mo base, plus seats (Core Essentials tier). That is a base price for the account, with seats added on top (see the pricing note): spread across a 5-person team the base alone works out to about $80 per user. Its starting price places it in our entry price band (under $100 per user per month).

Key features
Integrations
Pros
- + Growth features at a published price
Sera ships marketing attribution, membership management, consumer financing and KPI dashboards at a published $399/month for up to 4 technicians plus $149 per additional technician, plus an onboarding fee it does not publish, while ServiceTitan's per-technician pricing is quoted on request.
- + Modern platform
A newer platform, out of beta in early 2022, built as a modern alternative to legacy enterprise FSM.
- + Marketing and reputation integrations
Sera's integrations page lists HighLevel for marketing automation, pulseM for reviews and CAMP Digital, which complement its built-in marketing attribution.
- + Built-in consumer financing (Service Finance)
Sera's Service Finance integration lets techs present multiple lending options without leaving the Sera app, useful for residential HVAC system replacements.
- + Hands-on onboarding with ongoing check-ins
Sera's onboarding includes one-on-one setup help, live team training and data migration support, with check-ins at least quarterly afterwards. It is a paid service and the fee is not published.
- + KPI dashboards built for HVAC/plumbing/electrical KPIs
Average ticket, close rate, conversion rate by lead source, technician profitability: the metrics that residential trade operations actually run on. Different from generic FSM reporting.
Cons
- − Newer platform (out of beta in early 2022)
Smaller customer base, fewer case studies, smaller implementation partner ecosystem than ServiceTitan. Some operations prioritize maturity and won't switch from established platforms.
- − Per-technician cost adds up
Core Essentials is $399/month including up to 4 technicians, then $149/month for each additional technician, so a 10-tech shop pays about $1,293/month.
- − HVAC/plumbing/electrical specific
Not designed for general FSM or trades outside residential HVAC/plumbing/electrical. Multi-trade operations need to evaluate whether Sera serves all their trades adequately or if a multi-trade FSM fits better.
- − Limited integration ecosystem versus enterprise platforms
Sera's integrations page lists 11 integrations (QuickBooks, Global Payments, Stax, Service Finance, HighLevel, RingCentral, pulseM, CAMP Digital, JB Warranties, Broccoli AI, Zapier), a smaller footprint than ServiceTitan's. Custom integrations may require Zapier.
- − Paid, sales-led onboarding (no self-service tier)
Onboarding is a paid service with an unpublished fee, and there is no self-service signup option for very small operations wanting immediate access without a sales process.
Implementation
Sera does not publish an implementation timeline. Its onboarding, a paid service with an unpublished fee, includes one-on-one setup help, live training for your team, data migration support and check-ins at least quarterly afterwards. For a 10-tech HVAC operation leaving a legacy FSM, expect the usual phases: system configuration (user roles, service catalog, good-better-best pricing), customer and membership data migration, office staff training on dispatching, memberships and dashboards, field tech training on the mobile app, then a short parallel run before cutover with the QuickBooks integration verified. Recurring contract (membership) reconstruction is usually the longest pole. Ask Sera for the go-live plan in writing. For operations migrating from ServiceTitan, the data structures are more similar than for migrations from Jobber or Housecall Pro.

Frequently asked questions
How does Sera Systems compare to ServiceTitan?
Sera is the mid-market alternative to ServiceTitan. Pricing: Sera publishes $399/month for up to 4 technicians plus $149 per additional technician, plus an onboarding fee it does not publish; ServiceTitan publishes no prices; its per-technician pricing is quoted on request. Implementation: neither publishes a timeline, so ask each for a go-live date in writing. Features: both have marketing attribution, membership management, consumer financing and KPI dashboards. Differences: ServiceTitan has more integration depth, a larger user community and more case studies.
Is Sera Systems worth the price for a 5-tech HVAC operation?
Borderline. At 5 techs, Core Essentials costs $548/month ($399 including 4 technicians, plus $149 for the fifth), before the onboarding fee. That's a real commitment for a sub-$1M revenue shop. The features (marketing attribution, membership, financing) only pay back if you actually use them. Sera's pricing page reports customer gains such as a 24% increase in revenue and a 53% increase in memberships sold; those are the vendor's figures, not independent ones. Operations that just need basic scheduling and invoicing are better served by Jobber or Housecall Pro at lower cost.
What's Sera Systems best for?
Small-to-medium residential HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shops (Sera's own description of its customers) that have outgrown entry-tier FSM but don't need ServiceTitan's enterprise feature set or its quote-only pricing. Specifically: operations running consumer financing on installs, and operations with established membership programs that need automation. Very small operations and large multi-trade companies typically fit better with other platforms.
Does Sera Systems handle consumer financing?
Yes: Sera integrates with Service Finance, so techs can present multiple lending options without leaving the Sera app, and customers can apply for financing for repair and replacement projects through it.
How does Sera compare to FieldEdge?
Different positioning. FieldEdge is QuickBooks-centric, custom-quoted (FieldEdge publishes no prices), established (company history back to 1980) with strong QuickBooks Desktop integration. Sera is modern UX with marketing attribution + consumer financing built in, with published pricing from $399/month including up to 4 technicians plus $149/month per additional technician, newer (out of beta in early 2022). FieldEdge wins for QuickBooks Desktop shops prioritizing accounting integration. Sera wins for growing shops prioritizing marketing/sales features. Both are reasonable mid-market options.
