Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Housecall Pro cost?

Housecall Pro doesn't publish exact pricing publicly. Plans are tiered by features and number of technicians, with the lowest tier starting around $49 per month, and you typically need to request a custom quote. Most users end up paying more than the base price for add-ons, extra users, or payment processing fees.

Does Housecall Pro integrate with QuickBooks?

Yes, Housecall Pro integrates with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, and Xero for accounting. Invoices and payments sync automatically once connected, which reduces manual bookkeeping.

Can customers pay online?

Yes, you can send digital invoices and mobile payment links, and customers can pay by credit card, ACH, or eCheck. Housecall Pro charges payment processing fees on each transaction.

Is Housecall Pro good for a solo technician?

It can work for a single technician, but it's often more than a solo operator needs. The scheduling, reminders, and invoicing features still help, though the pricing model is usually better for teams with several employees.

Does Housecall Pro have a free trial?

Yes, Housecall Pro typically offers a free trial so you can test the platform before committing. After the trial you must move to a paid plan—there is no permanent free tier.

What home service trades does Housecall Pro support?

It's designed for home services like plumbing, electrical, HVAC, cleaning, landscaping, and pest control. The workflow is flexible enough for any dispatch-based service business.
