Housecall Pro Pricing 2026: What Each Plan Really Costs Your Crew

Housecall Pro pricing starts at $59 a month billed annually ($79 month to month) for Basic with 1 user, $149 ($189) for Essentials with 5 users, and $299 ($329) for Max with 8 users. Each Housecall Pro plan comes with a 14-day free trial, and you can start it without a credit card (as of November 2026).

That is the sticker price of the software. What your team actually pays depends on crew size, how you bill, how much you collect by card, and which feature (scheduling, routes, service plans, reporting) pushes you up a plan. This guide works through the real cost for home service crews in lawn care, cleaning, pressure washing and handyman work. For the score and what users report, read our full Housecall Pro review.

Quick answer: Housecall Pro has three plans. Basic costs $59/mo billed annually or $79 month to month, for 1 user. Essentials costs $149 or $189, for 5 users. Max costs $299 or $329, for 8 users, plus $35 per added user. All three come with a 14-day free trial, no card needed (as of November 2026).

All amounts in USD (as of November 2026). Source: housecallpro.com/pricing, read on November 9, 2026 by Ben Okafor (see how we review software). The page also states: "All prices are in USD and are exclusive of sales tax." Indicative CAD equivalent, approx., USD converted at the Bank of Canada rate of 1.4113, Nov 6, 2026 (rounded; not official prices): Basic CA$83 annual or CA$111 month to month, Essentials CA$210 or CA$267, Max CA$422 or CA$464, extra Max user CA$49.

Promotions, not list prices. At the time of checking, Basic and Essentials were offered at $26 for the first month, and Max at $99 a month for 3 months if you book a demo. Housecall Pro also offered a $50 gift card for talking to an expert (as of November 2026). These change often. Budget on the list rate.

Housecall Pro's plan page lists a lot of field service software features. Most of them do not change how a mowing or cleaning crew runs its week of scheduling and service calls. Here is what matters for our trades. One thing is the same on all three: Housecall Pro lists "Live phone and chat support" on every plan.

Basic: for the solo operator

Basic is the entry plan: one user, at $59/mo on the annual plan or $79 month to month (as of November 2026). It covers the core of the job: job scheduling, estimates, invoicing and taking payments. Estimates can carry several options, and the customer can sign and approve them online, per the Housecall Pro help center. Housecall Pro also lists review management on Basic.

Who it fits

an owner-operator doing pressure washing, handyman calls or one-off cleanups who sends quotes from the truck and wants to get paid on site.

What you will miss

a second login. Housecall Pro lists no added-user option on Basic, so the day you add a helper who needs the app, you are looking at Essentials.

Essentials: for a 2 to 5 person crew

Essentials includes 5 users at $149/mo on the annual plan or $189 month to month (as of November 2026). This is the plan most small teams will land on. Housecall Pro lists "Routes" on Essentials, described as "Group and sequence jobs to cut drive time for the day." It also lists QuickBooks Online sync on Essentials.

Who it fits: a two-truck cleaning or pressure washing team with up to 5 people in the app, mostly one-off or loosely repeating jobs.

What you will miss: route optimization and Recurring Service Plans (maintenance agreements). Both sit on Max (as of November 2026). Plain repeat jobs are a different feature: the Housecall Pro help article on recurring jobs states no plan restriction. More on this in the next section.

Max: for 6+ people and recurring routes

Max includes 8 users at $299/mo on the annual plan or $329 month to month, with added users at $35 a month each (as of November 2026). It adds Recurring Service Plans, route optimization and the Sales Proposal Tool, which Housecall Pro values at $40 a month. Max also comes with a 4-week onboarding period with weekly training calls, and access to a data import team for customers, job history, equipment and the price book.

Who it fits

a lawn or cleaning crew with 6 or more people, running the same customers on a fixed rhythm every week.

What you will miss

not much on features. The cost is the issue: Max is twice what Essentials costs on annual billing, and paid add-ons are on top.

The plan you need is often set by the one feature you cannot run without, not by price. Here is where each feature sits.

Recurring service plans and route optimization

This is the one that catches lawn and cleaning crews. A mowing route is the same 40 houses every week. A cleaning business has clients on weekly, biweekly and monthly visits. You want that schedule to repeat on its own and the day's stops in a sensible order.

The Housecall Pro documentation separates three things (as of November 2026):

• Recurring jobs. Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or custom frequencies, on web and mobile. The help article (dated August 11, 2026) states no plan restriction.
• Recurring Service Plans. Maintenance agreements, listed on Max on the pricing page.
• Route optimization. "This feature is only available to Pros on the MAX plan," per the help article dated August 24, 2026. It reorders one tech's jobs within one day by road distance and live traffic. It does not move jobs to other days or other techs, and it skips jobs without full address coordinates.

Essentials gets "Routes" instead, which Housecall Pro's plan page describes as grouping and sequencing jobs for the day. We found no help article describing it in more detail.

If you sell maintenance agreements or want the app to reorder a tech's day for you, budget for Max from day one. Planning on Essentials and upgrading in June costs you a switch in the middle of the season.

QuickBooks Online sync and GPS tracking

Two more features push home service crews up the ladder. QuickBooks Online sync matters if your bookkeeper lives in QuickBooks. GPS tracking matters once you have trucks you cannot see.

QuickBooks Online sync is listed on Essentials and Max. The Housecall Pro QuickBooks help article (dated September 3, 2026) says the integration "typically functions one-way," from Housecall Pro to QuickBooks. Invoices, payments, new customers and new Price Book items sync. Estimates do not, and edits made after the first sync need a re-sync. If your bookkeeper expects changes in QuickBooks to flow back, it will not happen.

GPS tracking and dashcams appear on the Housecall Pro list of paid add-ons, with no amount published (as of November 2026).

Reporting is not a line item on any plan. The help center describes Business Insights (a revenue goal tracker and peer benchmarks) and a KPI dashboard. Housecall Pro's pricing page does not say which plan gets them (as of November 2026). If reporting matters to you, check it during the free trial and ask which plan keeps it.

Sales proposals and API access

The Sales Proposal Tool (good, better, best style options for the customer) is included in Max, and Housecall Pro presents it as a $40 a month value (as of November 2026). For pressure washing and handyman crews that sell bigger jobs, this can be worth it.

API access matters if you want to connect your own website forms or reports. The pricing page lists open API access on Max, and its FAQ says Max offers "access to Zapier and our open API."

The subscription is only part of the bill. If your customers pay by card, processing can cost more than the software itself. Here are three crew sizes with every assumption on the table.

Assumptions (change them in the calculator below):

• Prices are list prices (as of November 2026), no promotions.
• Processing: 2.99%, the published Housecall Pro rate when a customer pays a digital invoice online. In person it is 2.59%; keyed, on file, Amex and business cards cost 3.49% (full schedule below).
• Card volume: $5,000 a month for a solo owner, $15,000 for a small crew, $40,000 for a growing crew. These are example figures, not survey data.
• Added users on Max at $35 a month, on both billing options. Housecall Pro shows one $35 figure and no separate annual amount, so confirm it if you pay yearly.
• No paid add-ons.

Solo owner (1 login)

For a solo owner, processing already costs more than the software. Pushing repeat clients to bank payments (1%, US businesses only) saves real money: the same $5,000 a month by bank transfer would cost $600 a year instead of $1,794 (as of November 2026). Taking the same volume in person at 2.59% would cost $1,554, plus $5 a month per device if you use Tap to Pay.

Getting paid on time matters as much as the rate. Housecall Pro has invoice reminder automation: reminders start after the due date and stop once the invoice is paid, per its help article. They do not work with batch invoices or auto-invoicing, and the article does not name a plan.

Small crew (3 to 5 logins)

The plan question matters most here. A 5-person cleaning crew that needs route optimization or Recurring Service Plans pays $1,800 more a year on Max than on Essentials, on annual billing (as of November 2026).

Growing crew (8 to 12 logins)

At this size, every 4 seasonal hires add $140 a month, or $1,680 a year, at $35 per added user (as of November 2026).

Card and ACH processing fees

The Housecall Pro pricing page headline says cards "as low as 2.59%." The full schedule is in the payment processing help article, dated July 20, 2026:

So 2.59% applies in person only. A customer paying your emailed invoice online costs 2.99%, and a card you keep on file for repeat clients costs 3.49% (as of November 2026).

For comparison, Jobber lists 2.9% + 30 cents per card payment, 2.7% + 30 cents for Tap to Pay and 1% for ACH (as of November 2026). See Jobber pricing.

Instapay and payout timing

Standard payouts take 2 business days, and the first payout can take up to 7 business days. Instapay, Housecall Pro's instant payout, costs an extra 1% (plus $0.75 on transactions under $75) and typically arrives in under 30 minutes. Limits are $50,000 per transaction in the US, $10,000 in Canada and $100,000 per day. Source: the Instapay FAQ and the payment processing article (as of November 2026).

Paid add-ons (GPS, dashcams, voice, websites)

Housecall Pro sells a long list of add-ons: CSR AI, Pipeline, Payroll, Accounting, Coaching, Voice, Campaigns, GPS and dashcams, and Websites. None of them has a published amount on the pricing page (as of November 2026).

All as of November 2026.

Our advice: ask for the add-on cost in writing before you plan around it. It is easy to pick Essentials for $149 and end up paying Max money once two add-ons are switched on.

Here is what the Housecall Pro site and help center say about Canada.

Is Housecall Pro billed in USD or CAD?

Housecall Pro bills Canadians in USD, with no official CAD price. Its pricing page shows no CAD amounts and no Canadian offer, and we found no Canadian pricing page (as of November 2026).

That means your monthly cost in Canadian dollars moves with the exchange rate, and your bank or card may add a foreign transaction fee. The pricing page says prices are "exclusive of sales tax." Indicative CAD equivalent of each plan:

Approx., USD converted at the Bank of Canada rate of 1.4113, Nov 6, 2026, rounded to the dollar. Not official Housecall Pro prices; sales tax and any card foreign transaction fee not included.

Card processing for Canadian customers

Housecall Pro's help center gives a mixed picture for Canadian businesses (as of November 2026):

• Card payments: online processing is available, since the Instapay FAQ sets a Canadian limit of $10,000 per transaction. No Canadian rates are published.
• Card reader: "currently only available in the U.S." per the card reader article (January 21, 2026). We found no statement on whether Tap to Pay works in Canada.
• Bank payments: "ACH is currently only available for businesses based in the U.S." per the ACH FAQ.
• GST/HST: you can create several named tax rates. We found no official statement on stacking GST and PST on one invoice.

So the 2.59% in-person rate is not something a Canadian crew can count on, and the 1% bank option does not exist for you. Ask Housecall Pro for your Canadian processing rate, and whether Tap to Pay works in Canada, in writing before comparing totals: its payment processing article publishes neither (checked November 9, 2026).

What the 14-day trial includes

The Housecall Pro free trial lasts 14 days, needs no credit card, and gives you Max features (as of November 2026). The pricing page says: "Housecall Pro does not require long-term contracts."

Use the free trial to check the features from the "forces your plan" table above, especially repeat jobs, routes and reporting. You are seeing Max during the trial, not the plan you might buy.

Annual billing and refunds

Paying annually saves $20 a month on Basic, $40 on Essentials and $30 on Max compared with month to month (as of November 2026). That is $240 to $480 a year.

Read the refund terms before you commit. The Housecall Pro Terms of Service (updated July 1, 2026) say all subscriptions renew automatically and fees "will not be prorated or refunded" except as the agreement states. Housecall Pro may also revise pricing "at any time," effective on notice. The help center mentions a 30-day money-back guarantee on the base monthly fee, but only if it was offered at sign-up and recorded. It does not address refunds on annual plans. In a BBB response from August 2026, Housecall Pro described its standard policy as no refunds on subscription renewals after 24 hours. Neither the pricing page nor the billing help article says whether an annual plan is charged in one payment or monthly. The Terms only say fees are paid "in advance, at regular intervals" and that you are billed "a full period's subscription fee." Ask how your annual plan will be charged before you sign.

How to cancel

The Housecall Pro billing help article describes the process: open a chat with Support, and Billing contacts you within 1 to 3 business days. The article adds that "we cannot fully process your cancellation or pause billing until a team member has spoken with the account owner," by phone. Expect calls from an 858 area code. Housecall Pro's customer service line is 1-877-944-9010. Phone support runs Monday to Friday 5 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 8 AM to 4 PM Pacific, per the support help article (July 15, 2026).

Cancellation is a recurring complaint. The BBB profile shows 81 complaints in the last 3 years, 22 in the last 12 months (as of November 9, 2026). On the first page, three owners reported being charged $189 a month after asking to cancel. The Housecall Pro replies show a pattern of retention offers at cancellation (2 free months, or a $39 monthly rate), after which billing resumes unless you cancel again. If you accept an offer, write down the date it ends.

Same crew, same billing, list prices only (as of November 2026):

At 1 user, Jobber Core is cheaper. At 5 users, Housecall Pro Essentials and Jobber Connect cost the same billed annually. At 10 users, the Jobber tiers come out lower on list cost. Processing differs too. Housecall Pro takes 2.59% on payments made in person, 2.99% on online invoices and 3.49% on cards on file. Jobber charges a flat 2.9% + 30 cents (as of November 2026). In person, Housecall Pro's 2.59% is always lower. Against the 2.99% online rate, Jobber's 30 cents makes it dearer on invoices under about $333 and slightly cheaper above; against the 3.49% card-on-file rate, Jobber is cheaper above about $51 (TighterCrew arithmetic from these list rates).

Full feature breakdown in our Jobber vs Housecall Pro comparison, and every Jobber tier on our Jobber pricing page.

For a 2 to 5 person team doing mostly one-off jobs (pressure washing, handyman, move-out cleans), Essentials is fair value. You get 5 users for $149 a month on the annual plan, the same as the 5-user Jobber Connect tier, with a lower rate on payments taken in person (as of November 2026).

It is a harder sell for two groups. Solo owners pay twice the annual cost of Jobber Core for Basic. And recurring-service crews, the weekly mowers and maid services, often want route optimization, which is Max only at $299. At that point, compare carefully. Canadian crews should also weigh the missing card reader and bank payments.
