ServiceTitan is a $9.5 billion company built for HVAC and plumbing. HoodOps is built by an IKECA-certified hood cleaner — for hood cleaners. Here's what that means for your operation.

ServiceTitan also charges $10,000+ for implementation and requires an annual contract. HoodOps has zero implementation fees and you can cancel anytime.
ServiceTitan doesn't know what Table 12.4 is. It can't calculate cleaning frequencies, generate compliance certificates, or flag grease depth issues. You're building workarounds in a system that was designed for someone else's trade.
At $245/tech, a 10-person crew costs $2,450/month — $29,400/year — just for software. That's before the $10,000 implementation fee. HoodOps is $299/mo flat. Do the math.
ServiceTitan requires annual commitments. If the software doesn't work for your operation, you're stuck paying for 12 months. HoodOps is month-to-month. If it's not working, cancel. No penalty.
I've cleaned kitchens for Cintas, Aramark, and Yosemite National Park. I'm IKECA certified. I built HoodOps because I got tired of explaining NFPA 96 to software that was built for plumbers.
