Looking for a Housecall Pro Alternative?
Housecall Pro works for small shops, but growing teams need more. Compare alternatives based on your scale, budget, and what features you actually need.
Why HVAC Businesses Look for Alternatives
Per-User Costs Add Up
Housecall Pro charges per user. A growing team quickly hits hundreds per month as you add dispatchers and techs.
Basic Routing Only
No geographic clustering or optimization. Techs drive more, complete fewer jobs, burn more fuel.
Limited Equipment Tracking
Housecall Pro tracks contacts, not equipment. No AHRI integration, no rebate automation, no property-centric history.
Outgrowing the Platform
What works at 5 techs does not scale to 20. Many shops hit a ceiling and need more powerful tools.
