Which one is for you
Pick Houzz Pro if
- Fits if you're a remodeler or designer who sells jobs with 3D plans and mood boards
- Works for design-build firms whose leads already come through a Houzz profile
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if your crew grows, as every extra user is $50 a month on Pro and on Teams past its 5, and unlimited users need Enterprise, priced by sales
- Skip it if you run service calls, since there's no dispatch or route planning
- Not for you if you want to pay month to month, as paid plans are yearly and start when the trial ends
- Tight if you just want the paid tools for one person, as there's no plan under Pro at $199 a month
- Watch out: advertising to homeowners on Houzz is a separate package from $499 a month
Pick JobTread if
- Fits if you run a building or remodelling company and want estimates, logs and payments together
- Works for crews that want customers and vendors to log into a portal
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you work alone, as one user still costs $199 a month
- Not for you if you want to try it free first, since the page shows no trial
- Skip it if you want a store app: it is not in the App Store or Google Play
- Watch out: accountants and other non-employees can count as internal users at $20 each if they need access to your data
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAHouzz ProFair | 1.8GPAJobTreadWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPro, the cheapest paid plan, is $199 a month for 1 user plus $50 for each extra, so three of you pay $299 a month on a yearly subscription. That's more than any listed rival with a published price charges three people, and near the top of this category. | D$199 a month with one user included is well above the category's dearer quarter at $99, and one person pays all of it. Users 2 to 10 are $20 each, so five people pay $279 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | CThere's a free plan, but it's a basic one for trying the floor planner, estimates and invoicing. Watch the 30-day trial: the yearly subscription starts when it ends unless you cancel. | FNo free plan and no free trial on the page; monthly billing has a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is not a trial. |
| Features | C3D floor plans and room scans, selections, estimates, takeoffs, bids, change orders, a project schedule and daily logs. The listing names the gap: no dispatch or route planning for service calls. | BEstimating and takeoff, scheduling, daily logs, job finances, customer and vendor portals, and invoices with online payments. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the building job. |
| Ease of use | B4.6 from 4,997 App Store ratings. The phone apps cover projects, files and time on site, and you can scan a room with your phone to start a floor plan. | CNo store rating on record. It is a web app where you build your own estimates, catalogue and templates before it works. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension that adds leads from Gmail, plus QuickBooks Online, Gusto, Google Calendar and Drive, and Zapier. No desktop app. | BWeb, installed to the home screen as a progressive web app, with QuickBooks Online, Zapier, Gusto, EagleView and supplier links. It is not in either app store. |
| Best for | remodelers and designers who sell with 3D plans | home builders and remodelers |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
