What a painting company needs, and where it sits in ServiceTitan
Painters win on bids and reviews, and most bids are lost to silence. Bids written at night and sent a week late: that is the problem software has to fix. ServiceTitan lists painting among its industries; here is where each thing painters rely on sits in its plans.
| What you need | ServiceTitan | Koira |
|---|---|---|
| What decides the plan | ||
| Options on one estimate Walls only, walls and trim, or the full room gives the customer a choice instead of a no. | Not listed by package | Office, up to three |
| Automatic estimate follow-ups The painter who checks in on day two is the painter who gets the job. | Not listed | Grow, on day two and day four, then it stops |
| Review requests Before and after photos and fresh reviews are how a painter gets picked. | Not listed by package | Office (free) |
| Worth having | ||

The extras painters often want (deposits at signing, estimates and website) do not move you off Starter, though deposits at signing and website are not on its plan cards. For comparison, the same list on Koira is Grow ($249 a month plus usage at cost), with no per-person fee.
Where ServiceTitan is a good fit for painters
- A pricebook is on every package, with Pricebook Pro sold as an add-on.
- It serves residential and commercial work and says more than 100,000 contractors use it.
A painting company with a dispatcher and office staff is the shape of business it is built for.
Where Koira does it differently for painters
Options on one estimate. On ServiceTitan: Not listed by package. Koira sends good, better and best from your price list, and it can draft the estimate from your photos.
Automatic estimate follow-ups. On ServiceTitan: not on its plan table. Two short, polite texts on day two and day four, then Koira stops.
Review requests. On ServiceTitan: Not listed by package. Every paid job gets the review ask an hour later, with your Google link, on every plan.
Worked example: a 2,400 sq ft one-story exterior with scraping
A 2,400 sq ft one-story exterior with scraping, on the free painting cost calculator, comes to $5,875 to $15,275 (typical $10,575, about 14 gallons of paint).
| Step | The math |
|---|---|
| Exterior rate | $1.85 to $4.20 per sq ft of siding, typical $3.03 |
| Power wash | $240 to $400 |
| Scrape and strip | 2,400 sq ft × $0.50 to $2.00 |
| Labor adjusted for the US average | ×1, national prices. Add your ZIP to adjust labor to your state. |
| Total | $5,875 to $15,275, typical $10,575 |
| Paint to buy | 2,400 sq ft × 2 coats ÷ 350 sq ft a gallon = 14 gallons |
ServiceTitan does not publish a price, so we cannot set its cost against this $10,575 job. Koira Grow for a year is $2,988, about 28% of it.
