Let's be honest upfront: our competitors build good software. This isn't about tearing anyone down. It's about showing you what fits best when your work is specifically fiber optic installation.
Jobber
Jobber is excellent for small residential service teams. It's simple, clean, and affordable. If you're a 2-person crew doing residential installations and don't need fiber-specific features, Jobber might be fine.
But Jobber doesn't track 811 locates. It doesn't bill by the foot. It doesn't document fiber splices or generate as-built records.
Housecall Pro
Housecall Pro has some of the best customer communication tools in the industry. Automated texts, email follow-ups, online booking — if your business revolves around customer appointments, it's strong.
But again: no 811 tracking, no footage-based billing, no splice documentation, no as-built records.
ServiceTitan
ServiceTitan is the enterprise powerhouse. Deep features, custom reporting, massive integration ecosystem.
But for fiber contractors? It's overkill and underpowered at the same time. Even at thousands of dollars per month, you still don't get fiber-specific features.
Where HogWired Fits
HogWired was built by a fiber crew, for fiber crews. 10 of our 42 features are exclusive to HogWired — no competitor offers them at any price.
If you're a fiber contractor, HogWired was built for exactly what you do — at a price that doesn't require an enterprise budget.
