Housecall Pro lists its plan prices on its website, unlike ServiceTitan. This guide walks through what each plan costs, what extra users and card processing add, and how to think about total cost.

Prices were checked on Oct 29, 2026 on Housecall Pro’s pricing page. Prices change, so confirm there before you buy. If you’re weighing it against a bigger platform, see ServiceTitan vs Housecall Pro.

Current Plans (2026)

PlanBilled annuallyBilled monthlyUsers included
Basic$59/month$79/month1
Essentials$149/month$189/month5
Max$299/month$329/month8 (extra users $35/month each)

Basic is the solo operator plan: one person, one login. Essentials is where most small crews land, with five users included. Max includes eight users and adds a per-user fee beyond that. Feature lists change between tiers, so read the plan comparison on the pricing page rather than relying on a summary.

Card Processing

Housecall Pro says card processing rates are “as low as 2.59%” and applies a 1% fee on bank payments. Processing cost scales with volume:

Monthly card volumeAt 2.59%At 2.9% + $0.30 per payment (illustrative)
$5,000~$130~$145 plus per-payment fees
$15,000~$389~$435 plus per-payment fees
$30,000~$777~$870 plus per-payment fees

Your actual rate depends on your plan and volume. You can use a third-party processor if you find better rates, but the integration may be less seamless. See our Housecall Pro Review.

What You Actually Pay: Examples

These use annual billing and the published prices above, with software only:

  • Solo tech: Basic is $59/month, or $708/year.
  • Crew of up to five: Essentials is $149/month, or $1,788/year.
  • Crew of eight: Max is $299/month, or $3,588/year. Each user beyond eight adds $35/month.

Add card processing on top, using the table above.

Price Increases at Renewal

Some long-time users say their renewal prices rose over the years. We could not verify how much, so treat that as a reason to check, not a fact. What to do:

1. Ask about your renewal price in advance and compare it with the current pricing page.

2. Pay annually. Monthly billing costs more per month on every plan (for example $79 versus $59 on Basic).

3. Audit your user count. Extra users cost money on Max, so remove people who no longer need access. See Housecall Pro Alternatives if the price stops making sense.

Is Housecall Pro Worth the Price?

For many small residential service shops, the published prices are easy to budget, and online booking, automated customer communication and accounting integration can save real time. Where it stops making sense is when software, extra users and add-ons together push your bill high enough that a platform with deeper features, such as FieldEdge or ServiceTitan, would give you more for the money. Get quotes from them before deciding, since neither publishes prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Housecall Pro offer a free plan?
Its pricing page lists three paid plans: Basic at $59/month billed annually for one user, Essentials at $149/month for five users, and Max at $299/month for eight users. Check the pricing page for any current free trial.
Is Housecall Pro cheaper than ServiceTitan?
Housecall Pro publishes its prices and ServiceTitan does not (it uses Request Pricing), so a precise comparison isn't possible from public pages. Contractors generally report ServiceTitan costing much more, with more features.
Why do people complain about Housecall Pro's pricing?
Some long-time users report that renewal prices rose over time. We could not verify the size of those increases, so ask for your renewal price in writing and compare it with the current pricing page.
Can I use Housecall Pro for just invoicing?
You can, but it's overkill if all you need is invoicing. Square Invoices or QuickBooks would be cheaper for pure invoicing. Housecall Pro's value is in the complete package: scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, and customer management together.
