Proxiant vs PST

PST is cheap.
Proxiant is worth 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.

Fair Assessment

What PST gets right.

We're not going to pretend the price advantage doesn't exist at high volume.

Honest acknowledgment

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.

The Trade-offs

What you give up with PST.

These gaps don't show up in the price comparison. They show up every day.

🤖

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.

📱

No real mobile app

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.

🔗

No client portal

Clients call or email for status updates. There's no self-serve option. That's time you spend answering questions instead of running jobs.

📊

Confusing billing

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.

🌐

No marketplace

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.

Real Cost Comparison

The honest math.

PST is cheaper per job above roughly 500/month. Here's where the lines cross — and what each number actually means.

Jobs / Month PST (est.) Proxiant Difference Value winner
100 ~$55 ($0.55/job) $70 ($0.70/job) +$15/mo PST cheaper
300 ~$135 ($0.45/job) $179.99 ($0.60/job) +$45/mo PST cheaper
600 ~$240 ($0.40/job) $339.99 ($0.57/job) +$59/mo PST cheaper
1,000 ~$350 ($0.35/job) $529.99 ($0.53/job) +$179.99/mo PST narrowly
2,500 ~$775 ($0.31/job) $1,199 ($0.48/job) $76/mo cheaper Proxiant
At 1,000 jobs/month you pay roughly $179.99 more with Proxiant. That's $6.00/day for AI intake that eliminates manual re-entry, a full native mobile app for every server, The Hive marketplace for overflow jobs, a white-labeled client portal, and automated diligence tracking. Whether that's worth it is your call — but it's a real decision, not just a price comparison.
