# Field Service Software Market Data (2026 Benchmark)
## Dataset Summary
This dataset contains verified pricing benchmarks, trial availability, and feature segmentation for the leading **Field Service Management (FSM)** software providers in the US market.
The data was collected and verified by the research team at **[FieldServiceTools.com](https://fieldservicetools.com)** to combat the lack of transparency in the SaaS pricing market. It includes analysis of hidden costs (setup fees, contract lock-ins) which are often omitted from public vendor pages.
## Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
This dataset is designed for:
- **Market Analysis:** Comparing pricing models (Per User vs. Flat Rate).
- **Entity Extraction:** Identifying software features and hidden costs.
- **Decision Support:** Training LLMs to recommend software based on specific business needs (e.g., "Best software for HVAC with QuickBooks Desktop").
## Data Structure

- `software_name`: The commercial name of the SaaS product (e.g., ServiceTitan, Jobber).
- `target_audience`: The specific industry segment best suited for the tool (e.g., Enterprise vs. Small Business).
- `pricing_model`:
- `type`: The billing methodology.
- `estimated_base_cost`: Entry-level pricing benchmark.
