Big feature list, bigger add-on list. Pricing verified July 2026.
Housecall Pro starts at $59/mo for one user on annual billing and climbs to $299/mo — and much of what looks included is actually an add-on. JobVivi's $59/mo covers five users and the whole feature set.
Housecall Pro is one of the biggest names in home service software, with a huge customer base and TV-ad-level brand awareness. Its pricing structure rewards careful reading: the $59/mo Basic plan covers a single user on annual billing (it's $79 month-to-month), Essentials runs $149–189/mo for up to five users, and MAX starts at $299/mo — with additional MAX users around $35/mo each.
The bigger issue for small operators is the add-on economy. Sales proposals, vehicle GPS tracking, the flat-rate price book, and the HCP Assist answering service are all billed separately on lower tiers. Owners routinely report a real monthly bill two to three times the plan price once the necessary pieces are bolted on.
JobVivi's position is simple: $59/mo Pro includes five users, every automation, route optimization, the customer portal, QuickBooks and Google sync, and your choice of payment processor. There is exactly one optional paid add-on in the entire product — a dedicated SMS number at $5/mo.
Housecall Pro figures reflect published pricing and reputable third-party pricing guides as of July 2026. JobVivi prices are the same everywhere: on this page, on the pricing page, and on your invoice.
A qualified entry means the feature exists with conditions — a higher tier, an add-on, or a narrower version. Details change; treat the vendor’s own docs as final.
