Housecall Pro pricing in 2026: plans, add-ons and what a real shop pays

Housecall Pro has three plans: Basic at $59 a month billed annually ($79 monthly) for one user, Essentials at $149 ($189) for five users, and Max at $299 ($329) for eight users plus $35 per extra user. Add-ons such as CSR AI call answering are sold separately without published prices.

How much does Housecall Pro cost?

Housecall Pro publishes three plans, each with an annual and a monthly price. Unlike Jobber, it doesn't sell each plan in several team sizes; each plan comes with a fixed number of users. Here's what its pricing page showed on 2026-10-19.

What's included in each Housecall Pro plan?

• Basic: online booking, scheduling and dispatch, estimates and invoicing, payments and consumer financing, price book, job costing, review management and invoice reminders.
• Essentials: everything in Basic plus routes, flat-rate pricing, checklist automations, photo reports, employee GPS tracking, commissions and QuickBooks Online sync.
• Max: everything in Essentials plus a sales proposal tool (which Housecall Pro values at $40 a month), recurring service plans, route optimization, open API access, Zapier, a dedicated onboarding specialist and escalated phone support.

Every plan includes live phone and chat support, the mobile app, consumer and business financing, and what Housecall Pro calls "AI team members to automate your work". Note the jump: Basic is a one-person plan, so any shop with a second tech or an office person is really choosing between Essentials and Max.

What Housecall Pro add-ons cost extra?

This is the part of Housecall Pro pricing you can't budget from the website. The pricing page lists eleven add-ons and prices none of them. You get those numbers from sales.

The one that matters most for most shops is CSR AI. Housecall Pro says it answers calls and chats around the clock, books jobs on your calendar and covers nights, weekends and holidays, and that it costs "a fraction of the cost of an office admin". But it doesn't print the price. Ask for it as a monthly number and whether it's priced per call, per minute or flat.

What does Housecall Pro charge to process payments?

Housecall Pro lists card processing "as low as 2.59%", a 1% fee on bank payments, and free check deposits through the mobile app. "As low as" means your actual card rate may be higher; ask for your rate in writing, including any per-transaction fee.

Does Housecall Pro have a contract?

No long-term contract, according to Housecall Pro's pricing page: "Cancelling is simple and hassle-free." Upgrades take effect immediately, and downgrades take effect at the end of your current monthly or annual billing period. The 14-day free trial gives full access to Max with no credit card, and your data is kept if the trial lapses.

What does Housecall Pro cost for a 3-truck shop?

Three techs plus the owner is 4 users. Basic only includes one, so Essentials (5 users) is the plan.

What does Housecall Pro cost for a 10-truck shop?

Ten techs plus two office staff is 12 users. Essentials covers five and the page doesn't list an extra-user price for it, so Max is the realistic plan.

What hidden costs should you plan for?

• Unpriced add-ons. Phones, AI call answering, payroll and pipeline all need a quote. Get each as a separate line before you sign.
• Seat creep on Max. $35 per user past eight adds up as you hire.
• Card processing. Your actual rate may be above the advertised 2.59%.
• Bookkeeping. QuickBooks Online sync pushes invoices, customers, line items and payments into QuickBooks, but categorizing expenses, reconciling and tax prep still happen there. QuickBooks itself is a separate subscription.
• Promos ending. Intro pricing (such as $99 a month for three months on Max) jumps to the regular price after the promo period.

How can you keep your Housecall Pro bill down?

1. Pay annually once you're sure, saving $480 a year on Essentials.
2. Use the 14-day Max trial to see whether you need Max features, then pick the lowest plan that covers them.
3. Decide who truly needs a login before adding users at $35 each on Max.
4. Encourage bank payments on big tickets to cut card fees.
5. Price CSR AI against standalone call answering before adding it.
