Houzz Pro vs Knowify (2026): which should you pick?

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 Knowify if

• Fits if you are a specialty contractor who bills in stages and needs job costs against budgets
• Works for firms that keep their books in QuickBooks

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you are on Core, as $99 a month for one user leaves out budgets, daily logs and subcontracts
• Tight if you want dispatching, because Service Pro is an extra $99 a month billed yearly
• Watch out: users beyond 1 or 10 cost $29 each, and unlimited users need Enterprise
• Watch out: fleet tracking hardware is sold at cost on annual plans and included only on 2- and 3-year terms

Houzz Pro

• Advertising to homeowners on Houzz is a separate package starting at $499 a month.

Knowify

• Service Pro, with dispatching and equipment history, is an add-on at $99 a month yearly ($199 monthly).
• Core has no project budgets, daily logs, subcontracts or cost-plus contracts; those start at Advanced.
• Users beyond the included 1 or 10 cost $29 a month each; unlimited users need Enterprise.
• Fleet tracking hardware is sold at cost on annual plans and included only on 2- and 3-year terms.
