Last verified September 27, 2026 from each company's public pricing page: Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceTitan, Workiz, Kickserv and ServiceM8. Housecall Pro shows its prices after a short quiz about your trade and team size. Prices change, so check the source before you buy.

Why do shops look for a Housecall Pro alternative?

Most shops look elsewhere because of cost as they add users, and because team pricing jumps once you move past a solo plan. For one user, Housecall Pro's Basic plan is $79/mo, Essentials is $229/mo and Max is $349/mo. Its Teams pricing lists Essentials at $299/mo for 5 users (plus $100/mo per added user) and Max at $649/mo for 8 users (plus $75/mo per added user).

Team pricing jumps. Basic is individual only and disappears once you switch to the Teams view. Adding a team means moving to Essentials or Max at a much higher price.
Per-user add-on fees. Beyond the included users, Essentials adds $100/mo per extra person and Max adds $75/mo per extra person.
Features gated by tier. Job costing and QuickBooks Online sync start on Essentials; route optimization and open API access start on Max.

Which Housecall Pro alternative should you choose?

It depends on team size, trade and how much you want to spend each month. Use the short profiles below: each says who the tool suits, what it costs and the main tradeoff.

Claver

Claver is field service software for small home-service businesses: scheduling, quotes, invoicing, payments and customer texting, with users included in one flat monthly price. Starter is $19/mo for 2 users, Crew $39/mo for 8 and Business $79/mo for 20. Online booking with live pricing and a customer portal are on Starter; dispatch, two-way texting, route optimization and QuickBooks Online sync are on Crew.

Tradeoff: Native iOS and Android apps and Tap to Pay are coming soon, and Claver has a smaller integration list than Housecall Pro. There is no free plan: it is $1 for 14 days, then $19/mo.

Jobber

Jobber is the closest like-for-like switch from Housecall Pro, with online booking and a client hub on every plan. Core is $49/mo month-to-month ($29/mo billed annually) for one user. GPS tracking, route optimization and QuickBooks Online sync start on Connect ($139/mo for one user, or $199/mo for a team of up to 5).

Tradeoff: Two-way texting and job costing don't appear until Grow, its top plan.

ServiceTitan

ServiceTitan is built for larger HVAC, plumbing and electrical companies, with payroll, commission tracking, advanced reporting and marketing attribution. It prices per technician.

Tradeoff: It publishes no prices, so you get a quote after a sales demo.

Workiz

Workiz is an all-in-one platform for teams from growing shops up to multi-location franchises. It offers a 7-day free trial with no card.

Tradeoff: It publishes no prices, and its phone system (Genius Phone) and AI answering (Genius Answering) are sold separately.

Kickserv

Kickserv includes a set number of users in each plan: 5 on Start ($75/mo, or $60/mo billed annually), 10 on Run ($149/mo) and 20 on Scale ($249/mo). QuickBooks Online sync is included, and it offers a 30-day free trial.

Tradeoff: Dispatch mapping and GPS check-ins start on Run, so small teams that need them pay $149/mo.

ServiceM8

ServiceM8 has a free plan for one user and 30 jobs a month. Paid plans start at $29/mo with unlimited users.

Tradeoff: Each plan caps jobs per month (50 on Starter, 150 on Growing at $79/mo), so busy shops pay more as job volume grows.

When is Housecall Pro still the right choice?

Stay on Housecall Pro if it already runs your business well and your team fits comfortably on the plan you're paying for. It is an established consumer-facing brand with a 14-day free trial and no long-term contract. Switching makes the most sense when adding a tech means jumping to a much pricier tier, or the per-added-user fees have added up.
