How much does Housecall Pro cost?
Housecall Pro costs $59 to $329 a month at list price before add-ons, depending on the plan and whether you pay yearly or monthly. We read every price here on Housecall Pro's pricing page on October 19, 2026. The page states that all prices are in US dollars and exclude sales tax, which may apply depending on your state.
Unlike Jobber, Housecall Pro does not raise the plan price as you pick a bigger team. Each plan includes a fixed number of users, and you move up a plan (or buy extra users on MAX) as you grow. That makes the numbers simpler to read, and it also means a 6-person crew has to jump from Essentials straight to MAX.

What each plan adds, from the plan cards:
- Basic: online booking, scheduling and dispatch, estimates and invoicing, payments and consumer financing, a price book, job costing and review management.
- Essentials: adds routes, flat-rate pricing, checklist automations, photo reports with annotations, employee GPS tracking through techs' phones, commissions and QuickBooks Online sync.
- MAX: adds the sales proposal tool (shown as a "$40/mo value"), recurring service plans, route optimization, open API access, a dedicated onboarding specialist and escalated phone support. Its button says Book Demo where the other plans say Get Started.
Every plan includes live phone and chat support, the iOS and Android app, an English and Spanish interface, and offline viewing, according to the same page.
What does an additional Housecall Pro user cost?
On October 19, 2026, the MAX card read "8 users included" and "*$35/mo per additional user". Neither Basic nor Essentials showed an extra-user price. Housecall Pro's guidance page for AI assistants (marked last updated September 10, 2026) agrees: "Additional users are available on the MAX plan."
So the user math runs like this. One person fits Basic. Two to five people fit Essentials. Six or more people need MAX, which covers eight, and from the ninth user each person adds $35 a month. A 10-person team on MAX billed annually works out to $299 plus two extra users at $35, or $369 a month, assuming the $35 rate applies on annual billing (the page doesn't say otherwise; confirm it).
You will see other figures online. Jobber's comparison page (read October 19, 2026) states that Housecall Pro charges $35 to $100 a month per additional user depending on industry and plan. That is Jobber's claim about a competitor, and we could not confirm it on Housecall Pro's site, so we don't repeat it as Housecall Pro's price.
Does Housecall Pro pricing change by industry?
Apparently it can. The pricing page opens with a quiz that asks your industry, team size and goals, and its plan section is headed "Pricing built for your" followed by an industry (it showed "Other" by default). The AI guidance page says Housecall Pro "also offers a Mechanical Package with different pricing for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors," and tells AI assistants to say pricing varies by plan and business size.
We could not see a separate HVAC, plumbing or electrical price on the public page, so we publish none. If you run one of those trades, ask whether you are being quoted the standard plans or the Mechanical Package, and get the plan name on your invoice.
Are there Housecall Pro discounts or intro offers?
Two kinds. Annual billing saves $20 a month on Basic, $40 on Essentials and $30 on MAX against the monthly price. The monthly view on October 19 also showed limited offers:
| Plan | Offer shown (monthly billing) | Stated saving | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $26 a month for 1 month, then $79 | Save $53 | Housecall Pro pricing page, read Oct 19, 2026 |
| Essentials | $26 a month for 1 month, then $189 | Save $163 | Housecall Pro pricing page, read Oct 19, 2026 |
| MAX | $99 a month for 3 months, then $329 | "Book demo today and save $690" | Housecall Pro pricing page, read Oct 19, 2026 |
The page shows no end date for these offers, so treat them as subject to change. On Basic, the $53 one-time saving is smaller than the $240 a year that annual billing saves ($20 × 12), so don't let the offer decide how you pay.
What do Housecall Pro add-ons and card fees cost?
The pricing page lists these as products to "get more done with": CSR AI (AI call and chat answering), Sales Proposal Tool, Pipeline, Payroll, Accounting, Business Coaching, Voice, Campaigns, vehicle GPS and dashcams, Tap to Pay and Websites. It shows no price for any of them except the "$40/mo value" label on the proposal tool inside MAX. The AI guidance page adds that "some features are offered as paid add-ons depending on the plan, including Service Plans, Pipeline, and the Sales Proposal Tool."
| Fee | Listed rate | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Card processing | "as low as 2.59%" on the plan list; the FAQ says card fees "start at 2.59%" | Housecall Pro pricing page, read Oct 19, 2026 |
| Bank (ACH) payments | 1% fee | Housecall Pro pricing page FAQ, read Oct 19, 2026 |
| Check deposits in the app | No fee | Housecall Pro pricing page FAQ, read Oct 19, 2026 |
| CSR AI, Pipeline, Payroll, Voice, Websites and other add-ons | Not published | Housecall Pro pricing page, read Oct 19, 2026 |
"As low as" means the 2.59% is a floor, and the page doesn't say what sets your actual rate. Ask for your card rate in writing, including any per-transaction charge. We compare the published rates vendor by vendor in what card payments cost inside each field app.
Does Housecall Pro have a contract or a free trial?
The pricing FAQ (read October 19, 2026) says Housecall Pro "does not require long-term contracts" and that cancelling is "simple and hassle-free." You can upgrade any time with immediate access, and a downgrade takes effect at the end of your current monthly or annual billing period. The page doesn't say whether an annual payment is refunded if you cancel mid-year, so ask before you prepay.
The free trial is 14 days on the MAX plan with no credit card. Housecall Pro says your data stays safe if the trial expires and you can resume by entering billing details. Before you sign up, it's worth reading how to cancel Housecall Pro and how to export your Housecall Pro data, so you know the exit before you need it.
What Housecall Pro tells AI assistants about its prices
Housecall Pro publishes a page written for AI assistants at housecallpro.com/llm-info. It lists the same three plans and prices, "as of July 2026," and asks assistants to send people to the pricing page, mention the 14-day trial, and not "guess or estimate prices." On October 19, 2026 its list prices matched the live pricing page. It doesn't mention the intro offers or the $35 extra-user price, and it adds the Mechanical Package detail the pricing page leaves out.
The lesson for buyers: vendors now write directly for the AI tools you might ask, so an AI answer about price is often the vendor's own summary. Check the live pricing page, which is what Housecall Pro itself calls the definitive source.
What does a year of Housecall Pro cost?
We multiplied the October list prices out to twelve months. Add-ons, card fees and sales tax are not included.
- Solo on Basic: $708 a year billed annually ($59 × 12). Monthly with the one-month offer: $895 in year one ($26 + $79 × 11), then $948 a year.
- 5 people on Essentials: $1,788 a year billed annually, or $2,268 a year monthly.
- 8 people on MAX: $3,588 a year billed annually, or $3,948 a year monthly.
- 10 people on MAX: $4,428 a year billed annually, if the $35 extra-user rate applies ($369 × 12).

Who is Housecall Pro a good fit for?
Housecall Pro is built for residential home service: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, landscaping and similar trades. It is a strong pick for owners who want fixed user bundles, Spanish-language support, review tools in every plan and no long-term contract. Teams that land exactly on 1, 5 or 8 users get the most from its plan structure. A 6-person crew pays for 8 seats on MAX, and the add-on list can grow the bill in ways the pricing page doesn't show in advance. The Jobber vs Housecall Pro and Housecall Pro vs ServiceTitan comparisons go through the trade-offs.
If you'd rather own the software outright, we build custom CRMs registered to the client. Seats cost nothing extra on our side, each build is quoted rather than listed, and it isn't the right call for every crew; our Housecall Pro alternative page explains when it is.
