Housecall Pro review

Housecall Pro packs a lot into its entry plan. Basic costs $59 a month on annual billing for one user and already includes online booking, scheduling and dispatch, estimates and invoicing, payments with consumer financing, a price book, job costing and review management. Essentials, at $149 a month with five users included, is where most small HVAC or plumbing shops will land: it adds route grouping, flat-rate pricing, checklist automations, photo reports, employee GPS tracking from technicians' phones, commissions and QuickBooks Online sync. Max, at $299 with eight users, adds a sales proposal tool, recurring service plans, one-click route optimization, open API access and a dedicated onboarding specialist, with extra users at $35 a month each. Every plan includes live phone and chat support and offline viewing in the mobile app. The trade-off against Jobber is price at the bottom end and the fact that maintenance agreements, a core revenue line for HVAC firms, sit on the top tier.
