Pricing comparison by team size
Housecall Pro's Basic plan is cheaper — but only supports 1 user. Here's what comparable plans actually cost:
| Team Size | Fieldkit Base | HCP Essentials | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-5 users | $99/mo | $149/mo | $50/mo |
| 6-10 users | $99/mo | $299/mo* | $200/mo |
| 11-20 users | $99/mo | $299/mo* | $200/mo |
*HCP Essentials includes 5 users. Max plan ($299/mo) required for more than 5 users.
Why contractors switch from Housecall Pro
“I hate the chatbot”
When something's broken, I need a human — not an AI that asks me to describe my issue five different ways.
“Jump to Max for basic features”
Needed more than 5 users. Only option was the $299/mo Max plan. That's a big jump.
“QuickBooks shouldn't be extra”
Had to upgrade to Essentials just to sync with QuickBooks. That should be standard.
When Housecall Pro might be better
We're honest about fit. HCP might work better if:
- You're a true solo operator — HCP Basic at $79/mo is cheaper if you'll never need a second user or QuickBooks
- You need GPS tracking — HCP Max has it built-in; Fieldkit doesn't offer it yet
- You're happy with AI support — Some people prefer self-service. If that's you, HCP's chatbot might be fine.
Common questions
Can I import my data from Housecall Pro?
Yes. We help you migrate customers, job history, and estimates. Most contractors are fully switched in under a week.
What about the HCP mobile app?
Fieldkit has iOS and Android apps too. Your techs can manage jobs, update status, and capture payments from the field.
How does your support work?
We use AI to help you get fast answers, but every ticket is reviewed by a real person who understands field service. You won't get stuck in a chatbot loop trying to reach someone.
