HONEST COMPARISON

Marketing 180 vs. Scorpion

Scorpion is the biggest name in home-services marketing, and for the right company, a legitimate choice. Here's a straight comparison so you can figure out whether that company is yours.

CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE

What Scorpion does well

We're not going to pretend the industry leader got there by accident. If you're evaluating Scorpion, these strengths are real:

✓  Scale and polish. Decades in business, thousands of clients, and a genuinely polished sales and onboarding machine.

✓  Deep vertical strength in HVAC, plumbing, and legal. Their playbooks in those industries are battle-tested.

✓  RevenueMAX is a real platform. AI call features, 24/7 AI chat, missed-call response, and revenue attribution are more than marketing copy.

✓  ServiceTitan attribution. If you run ServiceTitan, their closed-loop revenue reporting is a genuine advantage.

THE FIT TEST

Two sentences that settle it

Scorpion may be your answer if…

You're a $10M ServiceTitan HVAC or plumbing shop that wants a big-agency partner, values closed-loop ServiceTitan attribution, and is comfortable committing to a 12-month agreement at big-agency prices. That's their lane, and they run it well.

We're your answer if…

You're a home service company on Jobber, RealGreen, Service Autopilot, or Sweep&Go that wants published pricing, month-to-month terms, and a platform that doesn't just report on leads but measures, prices, quotes, and follows up automatically. That's our lane, and it's the only one we drive in.

QUESTIONS WE GET

Frequently asked questions

Is Scorpion a bad agency?

No. Scorpion is a large, established company with a polished platform and real strengths, especially for bigger HVAC, plumbing, and legal businesses on ServiceTitan. The question is fit: their typical pricing, contract terms, and ideal client size are built for a different kind of business than most home service companies.

How much does Scorpion cost compared to Marketing 180?

Scorpion doesn't publish pricing; industry sources commonly report $2,500–$6,000+ per month on 12-month agreements. We publish our tiers on our pricing page and run month-to-month. You can compare before anyone gets you on a sales call.

Do I lose my website if I leave Scorpion?

Scorpion websites are built on their proprietary platform, and clients commonly report the site doesn't come with them on exit, so confirm the terms in your agreement. Our No-Hostage Guarantee means your domain, content, data, reviews, and tracking numbers are always yours, with a full export if you ever leave.

Does Scorpion integrate with Jobber, Service Autopilot, or RealGreen?

Scorpion's platform depth and attribution are built around ServiceTitan. Our platform is built around the outdoor-trades stack: Jobber, Service Autopilot, RealGreen, Sweep&Go, DeepLawn, and HighLevel.

Can I switch from Scorpion to Marketing 180 mid-contract?

Check your agreement first; 12-month terms typically carry obligations to the end of the term. Many companies plan the switch a few months ahead of renewal. We'll do a free snapshot in the meantime so you know exactly what the transition would look like before you commit to anything.

What does "the platform acts" actually mean?

Concrete example: your technician logs "yard is patchy" as a condition code in RealGreen. Our platform reads it, matches it to aeration & overseeding, measures the property, prices it from your matrix, and sends a branded quote the customer can accept and pay on their phone, then follows up automatically until it's booked. Nobody at your company touches it. See Instant Quotes and Automations.
