Housecall Pro alternative
Everything you were paying extra for, in the price.
Several of the features that decide the purchase — call answering, proposals, payroll — are priced as add-ons the pricing page does not put a number on. You find out what it costs on the call.

Housecall Pro figures are month-to-month list prices taken from their own pricing page on 2026-08-16. Source . Both they and we charge less for an annual prepayment where one is offered; this compares monthly to monthly. Card processing is Stripe’s rate on both sides. Check their current pricing before you decide — ours is on this page and theirs is on theirs.
When Housecall Pro is the right answer
Strong consumer-facing booking and a genuinely good mobile experience for high-volume, short-duration residential jobs. If your work is mostly same-day service calls rather than quoted projects, it suits that shape better.
If that is you, buy it — you will be happier there and we would rather say so now than take a subscription you cancel in March.
When we are
- You quote the job before you do it, and the quote is where deals are won or lost.
- You want the contract signed and the deposit taken in the same two minutes, from a phone, in a driveway.
- You would rather read one price on a page than book a call to find out.
- Your crew is small enough that a per-user fee is a real number to you.
What we do not do
- Payroll. Use a payroll provider.
- Inventory and truck stock.
- Marketing campaigns and review-request automation.
- Multi-location dispatch boards and route optimisation.
