Housecall Pro Alternatives and Competitors: What Each One Costs

The main Housecall Pro alternatives are Jobber, ServiceTitan, Workiz, FieldEdge, Service Fusion, FieldPulse, ServiceM8 and Service Autopilot. The sections below compare them on how they count users, whether they publish a price at all, and how long their contracts run.

Housecall Pro starts at $59 a month for 1 user, billed annually (published price) on its general list. Four parts of its price list and terms are worth weighing against the alternatives: the fixed user steps between its plans, a second price list for HVAC, plumbing and electrical firms, add-ons sold without a public price, and the way cancellation works. Each is set out below with its source, followed by a cost table and one entry per alternative. Every figure comes from the vendors’ own public pages, checked on November 10, 2026; we have not used these products.

The Housecall Pro price list, plan by plan has the full detail, and head-to-head pages set it against Jobber, ServiceTitan, Workiz and FieldEdge: Housecall Pro vs Jobber, Housecall Pro vs ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro vs Workiz and FieldEdge vs Housecall Pro. The price index of every vendor and plan we track covers the rest of the market.

Why buyers look elsewhere

Users come in fixed steps. On the general list, a Basic account holds one login and an Essentials account five. Extra logins can be bought on Max alone, according to Housecall Pro’s billing and account help article, so the sixth person a firm hires moves it up to Max, which is $299 a month for 8 users, billed annually (published price). On the pricing page, Max is the one plan bought through a demo booking rather than signed up for directly.

HVAC, plumbing and electrical firms see different prices. Housecall Pro’s HVAC page and its plumbing and electrical pages show trade packages under the same plan names, at their own prices, with no billing term attached to the figures. For ten users, the cheapest general plan comes to $4,428 a year on Max, billed annually (published price). The cheapest trade plan for the same team comes to $9,588 a year on Essentials or Max (same cost), billing term not stated (published price). Wherever this page gives a Housecall Pro figure without saying “trade”, it means the general list.

Several add-ons have no public price. The CSR AI answering add-on (AI Team article), Pipeline and recurring service plans on Basic and Essentials (billing article), Payroll and the Accounting service all come without an amount. A firm that sells maintenance memberships on Essentials has to ask what the service plans add-on costs before it can total a year.

Cancelling takes a conversation. The Terms of Service ask for cancellation by email, and the billing article adds that the request is not processed until someone from billing has talked to the account owner by phone. Fees already paid are not refunded unless a money-back guarantee was offered when the account was opened, and a downgrade waits until the current billing period ends, per the pricing FAQ.

None of this applies to every buyer. Housecall Pro’s pricing FAQ says it requires no long-term contract, and several alternatives below do: anyone leaving for flexibility should read each one’s contract terms before signing. The feature table further down keeps to rows tied to these reasons: service agreements, multi-option estimates and phone systems, which Housecall Pro sells as add-ons on some or all of its general plans, and equipment tracking, which its trade packages list and its general plans don’t.

Which alternative fits which reason

If the user steps are the problem, look at how each alternative counts people. Service Fusion’s pricing page gives every plan unlimited users at one monthly fee. ServiceM8’s pricing page gives unlimited users on every paid plan and prices by new jobs a month instead. Jobber, per its pricing page, adds users one at a time, with published prices up to fifteen users and sales quotes above that. With Service Fusion or ServiceM8, hiring does not move the plan price, though Service Fusion is bought through a demo and ServiceM8’s price moves with your monthly job count instead.

If you are an HVAC, plumbing or electrical firm, set the alternatives against Housecall Pro’s trade figures as well as its general ones, since its trade pages show you a separate list; ask which list your quote is drawn from. A trade team of three pays $3,588 a year on Essentials, billing term not stated (published price). Housecall Pro’s HVAC package help article puts the Sales Proposal Tool and membership plans in trade Essentials, which general Basic and Essentials sell as add-ons, and puts Pipeline, which it calls a normally paid add-on, in trade Max. So a trade plan can buy more than the general plan of the same name. In the cost table, Housecall Pro’s trade pricing has its own row, while each alternative has one row that applies to every trade. Our HVAC software prices, plumbing software prices and electrical contractor software prices rank each trade’s vendors with Housecall Pro on its trade list.

If unpriced add-ons are the problem, check what each alternative sells separately before you count on a saving, because several do the same. Workiz sells its phone system and AI answering apart from every plan, with no published price (pricing page). FieldPulse lists its phone system, AI answering, pricebook and fleet tracking as paid add-ons without prices (pricing page). Service Fusion gives no figure for its AI call tool or GPS units (pricing page). ServiceTitan publishes no price for any add-on, its Pro products and Max package included (pricing page). FieldEdge quotes add-ons such as Proposal Pro and MarketingEdge on its lower plans (pricing page), and Service Autopilot charges extra below Elite for two-way texting, QuickBooks sync, the Client Portal and Smart Maps, mostly at unpublished prices (pricing page). Jobber, by contrast, prints prices for its Marketing Suite, Receptionist and Pipeline add-ons on its pricing page.

If cancellation terms drove you away, compare contracts first. ServiceM8 says on its pricing page that there are no lock-ins, and Service Fusion’s pricing page says its plans are month to month. Jobber offers a monthly option with no commitment, while its annual and fixed-commitment options keep billing to the end of the term (pricing page, Terms of Service). FieldPulse’s terms allow month-to-month subscriptions at a premium over the annual rate, but its default term is fixed. The terms of Workiz, FieldEdge and Service Autopilot renew a subscription for a set term unless you give notice in time, and leaving ServiceTitan before the end of a term costs the remaining payments; its cancellation article sends requests through each customer’s success manager.

If you run lawn care or cleaning, Service Autopilot is made for those trades and for snow removal, pest control and pool service, according to its industries page. Our lawn care software prices and cleaning business software prices compare more of the vendors those trades use.

Trying an alternative before you switch

Housecall Pro lets a new account try its Max features free, per its pricing page. Jobber, Workiz and ServiceM8 also offer a free trial with no card needed: Jobber on its Grow features (pricing page), Workiz by signing up on its site (pricing page), and ServiceM8 with every feature open (pricing page). The others start with a demo. FieldEdge says it has no trial because its onboarding team moves your data and trains your staff instead (pricing page); FieldPulse offers a demo built around your trade and team (pricing page); Service Autopilot offers a free tour (cleaning software page). The pricing pages of ServiceTitan and Service Fusion lead to a demo and mention no trial.

Card processing after a switch

Housecall Pro publishes its card rates, which change with how a card is taken, in its payment processing article. For a firm that takes most payments through its software, processing fees recur with every invoice, so they belong in the comparison alongside the subscription. A trade firm should also note that Housecall Pro charges a fee on surcharged card payments on its general plans (surcharging FAQ), while its HVAC package article and its plumbing and electrical pages say the trade packages add none. Jobber (pricing page), Service Fusion (payments page), FieldPulse (payments terms) and ServiceM8 (fees article) publish standard rates as well, so they can be set side by side before you move. ServiceTitan says its fees depend on each customer’s agreement (payments page), FieldEdge that its rates are tailored to transaction volume (payments page), and Workiz shows no rates on its Workiz Pay page. Service Autopilot’s terms expect payments to run through Xplor Pay, whose rates it does not publish. Ask each of them for a written rate before signing.
