Housecall Pro
Scheduling, quotes and payments for home service businesses
Housecall Pro report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for home service crews that take bookings online
Housecall Pro covers the whole home-service day, from online booking and dispatch to invoices and card payments, and techs can use the app in Spanish. The catch for a small crew is that Basic holds just 1 user, so three of you start on Essentials at $149 a month billed yearly.
Who Housecall Pro is for
- Great if you run an HVAC, plumbing or cleaning crew and want bookings, jobs and payments in one app
- Handy when some of your techs would rather use the app in Spanish
- Good for teams that win work through Thumbtack or Google Local Services
Who Housecall Pro is not for
- Pricey if you need route optimization or service plans, which only come with Max at $299 a month
- Skip it if you want AI call answering or payroll priced up front, as both are add-ons with no price shown
- Not for you if you want Zapier or the API on a small plan, since both are Max only
Why Housecall Pro gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyBasic is $59 a month but holds 1 user, so a crew of three starts on Essentials: $149 a month billed yearly ($189 monthly) for up to 5 users. That's the middle of what this category charges. Route optimization and service plans wait for Max at $299.
- CFree plan and trialA 14-day trial of the Max plan with no card needed, which is the usual deal here. There's no free plan to fall back on afterwards.
- BFeaturesOnline booking, scheduling and dispatch, estimates, invoices, card and bank payments, a price book, job costing and review requests, with routes, GPS and checklists on Essentials. That's the whole job. AI call answering and payroll cost extra.
- BEase of use4.65 from 31,013 App Store ratings, more ratings than any other app in this category. The crew app runs in English and Spanish and techs can still view jobs offline.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with QuickBooks, Thumbtack, Google Local Services, Gusto, Mailchimp and CompanyCam. Zapier and the open API need Max, and there's no desktop app.

It costs $708 a year.
What you could make
- Job scheduling, quotes and estimates, invoicing, appointment booking and review collection: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not

- It plugs into other products, QuickBooks, Thumbtack and Google Local Services among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
