Housecall Pro Pricing 2026: Every Plan and the Real Cost per Crew

Housecall Pro pricing starts at $59/mo for one user on Basic billed yearly, and runs to $329/mo for Max with eight users month to month. Other sites quote different starting points, because the price moves with the billing mode and the plan. We read every number below on Housecall Pro’s own pricing page on 9 November 2026, then worked out what a solo operator and crews of 3, 8 and 15 actually pay.

Housecall Pro Pricing at a Glance

Housecall Pro sells three plans: Basic, Essentials and Max. Each one comes with a fixed number of users, and each has a billed-yearly price and a month-to-month price. Prices are per month, and Housecall Pro’s page says they exclude sales tax.

Annual vs Monthly

The two columns are the whole story behind the conflicting numbers you see online. Billed yearly, Basic is $59/mo. Month to month it is $79/mo. A review that quotes one figure and a review that quotes the other are both right, they just read different columns.

• Billed yearly. The cheaper column on every plan. On Basic the saving is $240 a year. On Essentials it is $480 a year, and on Max $360.
• Month to month. Higher, but you can leave when you like.

Housecall Pro also shows limited-time promotions and introductory rates on the plan cards. We do not use those as the price: they are temporary, so every figure here is the standard rate.

Users Included: 1, 5 and 8

Basic includes one user, Essentials five and Max eight. That is the number to compare to your own team, and it counts everyone who needs a login, the office included, not only the technicians. A three-person crew with an office manager is four users, which already rules out Basic.

Basic, Essentials and Max Compared

We list only what Housecall Pro’s pricing page states. We did not test features for this page, so open the feature list on their site against your own week before you buy.

Basic

Basic is the solo plan: $59/mo billed yearly or $79/mo month to month, for one user.

• Who it suits: an owner-operator who quotes, works and invoices alone.
• What stops you moving on: the second person. Housecall Pro’s page states no extra-user price on Basic, so hiring your first tech means moving to Essentials. That is a jump from $59/mo to $149/mo a month billed yearly.

Essentials

Essentials includes five users at $149/mo billed yearly or $189/mo month to month. Employee GPS tracking is listed on this plan.

• Who it suits: a small crew of two to five that has outgrown a one-user plan.
• What stops you moving on: the sixth user. No extra-user price is listed for Essentials, so a sixth person means Max.

Max

Max includes eight users at $299/mo billed yearly or $329/mo month to month. It is also the plan the free trial runs on, and the only one with a listed extra-user price, $35/mo a month.

• Who it suits: crews of six to eight, and larger ones who accept paying per extra seat.
• What stops you staying: growth. Every user past eight adds $35/mo a month, so cost climbs in a straight line as the crew grows.

Real Cost by Crew Size

The plan price is not what a crew pays. Move the slider to your crew size, pick a billing mode and see the monthly bill. Everything runs in your browser.

The formula is simple: the lowest plan that fits your users + extra users on Max × $35/mo. Add-ons and payment processing sit on top.

1 Technician

One user fits Basic: $59/mo a month billed yearly, which is $708 a year over twelve months. Month to month it is $948 a year a year.

3 Technicians

Three users fit Essentials, which includes five: $149/mo a month billed yearly, or $189/mo month to month. You pay for two seats you do not use, and there is no cheaper step in between.

8 Technicians

Eight users are exactly what Max includes: $299/mo a month billed yearly, or $3,588 a year a year. Month to month, the year costs $3,948 a year.

15 Technicians

Fifteen users means Max plus seven extra users at $35/mo each: $299 for 8 users + 7 × $35 = $544/mo, which is $544/mo a month billed yearly. Per head that works out at $36.27 per user a month. This is where the straight-line cost shows: the bigger the crew, the closer every extra person is to a flat $35/mo.

Add-Ons and Extra Fees

The pricing page lists add-ons beyond the plan price. It lists Accounting, Payroll, CSR AI, Pipeline, Voice, Campaigns, VGPS and dashcams, Tap to Pay, Websites, Business Coaching and a Sales Proposal Tool. We read no add-on price next to any of them, so none is in our headline figures and we will not guess one. Ask for a written quote for each add-on you want, and add them one at a time.

Accounting

Accounting is listed as an add-on with no price on the page. The questions to ask: what it costs per month, whether it is a replacement for your bookkeeping software or a sync to it, and whether it is included on the plan you are considering. Until you have that in writing, count it as unknown, not free.

Inventory

We found no inventory feature named on the pricing page and no plan listed as carrying it. That does not prove it does not exist, only that we could not confirm it. If you stock parts on the truck, make this your first question to sales and your first test in the trial.

Payment Processing

Housecall Pro’s page says card processing rates are “as low as 2.59%” and included on every plan, and its FAQ says bank payments carry a 1% fee, with deposited checks free through the mobile app. “As low as” means your own rate can be higher, so confirm it for your account. On a big invoice the gap between a 1% bank fee and your card rate is real money, so pushing customers toward bank payments pays off on large jobs.

Free Trial: What You Get

Housecall Pro offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required and cancellation at any time. Its FAQ says the trial gives full access to the Max plan.

• Test on live jobs. Put a real week of quotes, schedules and invoices through it. A demo shows you the software, the trial shows you whether your crew will use it.
• Note what you used. The trial runs on Max. If you only touched features you would also get on Essentials, Essentials is the plan to buy.
• Decide on a billing mode afterward. Pay month to month first if you are unsure, and move to yearly once you are.

Downsides of Housecall Pro

We stick to what the pricing page lets us verify.

• Steep steps between plans. From one user to five, the yearly price goes from $59/mo to $149/mo. A crew of two or three pays for seats it does not use.
• Extra users only on Max. The listed $35/mo per extra user applies to Max. On the other plans there is no listed way to add a seat.
• Add-on prices are not published. Eleven add-ons are listed, and none has an add-on price on the page, so your real bill can only be known by asking.
• A card rate that starts at “as low as”. The 2.59% figure is a floor, not a promise.
• Promotional prices muddy the picture. The limited-time offers on the plan cards are not the standard rate. Check what the price becomes when the promotion ends.

Housecall Pro vs Jobber on Price

Here is the lowest-priced plan that fits each crew at both vendors, billed yearly. Plans differ in what they include, so this compares price only.

How to Pay Less for Housecall Pro

• Pay yearly once you are sure. It is the cheaper column on every plan, but test first.
• Count users honestly. The office counts. A crew that fits Essentials by headcount can tip into Max with one hire.
• Ask for add-on prices in writing. Every listed add-on is unpriced on the page, so get the number before it appears on an invoice.
• Steer customers to bank payments. The bank fee on Housecall Pro’s page is lower than the card rate.
• Compare before you sign. If the steps between plans do not fit your crew, see our Housecall Pro alternatives and the ServiceTitan vs Housecall Pro comparison, and run your numbers through the software cost calculator.

Is Housecall Pro Worth It?

Software earns its keep in hours, not features. Take your monthly cost from the calculator above and divide it by what an hour of office time is worth to you, whether that is your own evening or a paid office manager. The answer is how many hours a month Housecall Pro has to save to pay for itself. If the 14-day trial shows you saving more hours than that, the plan pays its way. If you cannot point to the hours, it does not, however good the demo looked.

The price is easiest to justify at the sizes the plans are built for: one user on Basic, up to five on Essentials, up to eight on Max. It is hardest to justify in the gaps, such as a crew of two buying the five-user plan, and past eight users, where each seat adds $35/mo a month.

How We Worked Out These Numbers

Every Housecall Pro price on this page comes from one place: its public pricing page, read on 9 November 2026. The Jobber figures come from Jobber’s own pricing page, read the same day. We do not use review sites, reseller quotes or search engine summaries as a source for a price.

The Rules Behind the Crew Maths

• Users, not technicians. Housecall Pro prices by user, so the calculator counts everyone who needs a login, the office included.
• Lowest plan that fits. For each crew size we pick the cheapest plan whose included users cover the crew, and add extra users only where the page lists them, on Max.
• What is left out. Add-ons are unpriced on the page, and payment processing is per transaction, so neither is in the headline figure. Sales tax is not included. Promotional rates are not used.

When We Check Again

We reread the pricing page whenever Housecall Pro changes it and at least every three months. The date at the top of this page only changes when we have read the source again. See how we test and verify to learn how to tell us about a price that no longer matches.
