No AI anything
Every job is manual entry. No email parsing, no document extraction, no suggested fields. If a client sends you a serve request by email, someone re-types it.
PST wins on price at high volume — we'll be honest about that. But price is only part of the equation. Here's what you're actually getting for the difference.
We're not going to pretend the price advantage doesn't exist at high volume.
PST is inexpensive. At high volume — 500+ jobs a month — their pay-as-you-go model gets very cheap. If price is the only variable and your operation runs on the basics, PST does the job.
If you chose PST because you were watching the budget, that was a reasonable call. The question now is whether the savings still justify what you're not getting.
These gaps don't show up in the price comparison. They show up every day.
Every job is manual entry. No email parsing, no document extraction, no suggested fields. If a client sends you a serve request by email, someone re-types it.
Servers work from a mobile browser. No offline mode, no GPS logging, no push notifications. Attempt logs get forgotten, typed up later, or missed entirely.
Clients call or email for status updates. There's no self-serve option. That's time you spend answering questions instead of running jobs.
Pay-as-you-go sounds simple until your invoice is different every month. Budgeting is hard when the bill is unpredictable. Busy months hurt twice — more work, bigger surprise invoice.
When you need coverage in a county you don't serve, you're on your own. No built-in network to post the job, no credentialed servers to pull from. Just a phone call and a prayer.
