Pricing

FireLog

$49/mo

Flat rate. Unlimited inspections. No per-user fees.

  • • 14-day free trial
  • • No credit card required
  • • Month-to-month

ServiceTrade

$89+/user/mo

Per-user pricing. Scales with team size.

  • • Select ($89/user), Premium ($139/user), Enterprise (custom)
  • • Annual contracts standard
  • • Implementation fees apply

For a 5-person team: FireLog = $49/mo total. ServiceTrade Select = $445/mo. That's $4,752/year in savings.

When to Choose Each

Choose FireLog if:

  • ✅ You're a 1-15 tech operation focused on inspections
  • ✅ You need NFPA compliance without paying enterprise prices
  • ✅ You want to start in minutes, not weeks
  • ✅ Your techs work in basements and signal-dead zones (offline mode)
  • ✅ You don't need dispatching or customer portals yet

Choose ServiceTrade if:

  • • You're a 15+ tech operation with complex routing needs
  • • You need customer-facing portals and online quote approval
  • • You do service + inspections and need one platform for both
  • • You want deep integrations with accounting software
  • • You have budget for implementation and per-user pricing

The Bottom Line

ServiceTrade is the gold standard for large commercial fire protection companies. But most of its features — dispatching, customer portals, complex routing — are overkill for shops under 15 techs. If your core need is NFPA-compliant inspection documentation at a price that doesn't eat your margins, FireLog delivers that for a fraction of the cost.
