### "Great software that has really helped us take our remediation business to the next level."

June 16, 2022

5.0

HousecallPro has helped us take our business to the next level and makes dispatching, estimating, and bookkeeping much easier. I've used other competitive products in the past, but nothing has come close to the features of HousecallPro.

Pros

Price list flexibility, automated emails, estimate approvals and invoicing, and dispatching to make sure everyone's on the same page.

Cons

The automated emails should absolutely be tied to job tags, but because they're tied to customer tags, we have to add and remove them vigilantly if we have repeat customers with multiple properties or different service needs. I wish the estimate approval process was more of an eSignature process as opposed to any party just clicking a button.

### "Best Service Scheduling Software"

July 30, 2025

5.0

It has turned our business around as far as billing and scheduling service. It has saved us money in the time we would put into reporting and tracking before it does most everything for us.

Pros

We love using HCP in our office it has streamlined so many processes for us. We use it for billing, scheduling and vehicle tracking as well as customer tracking. Their customer service is great and timely as well as being a good value for the cost.

Cons

Sometimes they implement new features without notice so there is a learning curve sometimes in finding where they moved buttons

### "Good Basic System"

October 13, 2025

3.0

Housecall pro is a really good,simple software to use. If you want to really focus on data and bring your company to the next level you would do better on a more advanced system.

Pros

Housecall pro is very simple to use. Not much training is needed when you want to teach someone how to use the system. Easy scheduling, quick to access customer data base and reports are easy to pull.

Cons

The reporting features are not the greatest.It is very easy to pull reports however getting the data you actually want can be a task. You have to export excel files and do a lot of sorting and filtering to really get the data you want.

### "HouseCall Pro"

August 8, 2026

4.0

My experience with Housecall Pro is mostly positive. I would recommend training before implementing this tool for your business

Pros

I liked the reporting feature and the fact that you can use HouseCall Pro for all scheduling of clients

Cons

What I liked least is that the integration with Quickbooks glitches at times and you have to manually push the invoices to QBO.

### "“Efficient Scheduling and Invoicing with Room for Improvement”"

April 10, 2026

4.0

My overall experience with Housecall Pro has been positive. It provides a solid all-in-one solution for managing scheduling, invoicing, and payments, which helps streamline operations and reduce administrative workload. The platform is generally easy to use and effective for day-to-day job management. However, there are occasional bugs and some limitations in customization and reporting, which can impact efficiency at times. Customer support is helpful, though response times can vary. Overall, it’s a dependable system that supports business operations well, with some room for improvement in stability and flexibility.

Pros

What I liked most about Housecall Pro is how seamlessly it handles scheduling, invoicing, and payments all in one place. The scheduling feature is very intuitive and makes managing jobs and technicians straightforward and efficient. From a value for money standpoint, it significantly reduces admin work by automating invoices and payment collection. The payments and invoicing system is especially strong—customers can pay quickly, which helps improve cash flow and reduces follow-ups. The customer support has been reliable and helpful whenever needed, and overall the platform feels secure when handling sensitive customer and payment data. While there are occasional minor bugs, they don’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, it’s a powerful and reliable tool that has made managing operations much more efficient.

Cons

One of the main drawbacks of Housecall Pro is the occasional system lag and bugs, especially when managing multiple jobs or making updates in real time. These issues can sometimes slow down workflow and require extra time to correct. Another area for improvement is customer support response time, which can vary depending on the complexity of the issue. While support is generally helpful, faster turnaround would improve the overall experience. Additionally, some features—particularly around reporting and customization—feel somewhat limited and could be more flexible to better suit different business needs.

### "Malott acres!"

December 25, 2025

5.0

This has been the most streamlined version of software I’ve tried and is truly so simple. I think any age could learn to use it so fast!

Pros

Decently priced and you get a lot of options for what you pay! Customer service is spot on! Never had to wait more than a few mins. Very few system issues or failure due to bugs and coding issues! Easy to schedule clients and get invoice and payments done! The time it takes to process payments is so important for me as a small brand they offer same day payment transfers. Offers multiple different security features for log in and more!

Cons

How much you pay additionally for extra functionality for like price books, crm software, camera usage for photos of job sites.

### "Aggressive sales tactics and disjointed operations that create an awful client experience--I would not recommend doing business with them. "

April 14, 2026

1.0

Their sales tactics are aggressive, and their company is so disconnected that customer support can't give you factual information about why the sales team is still reaching out despite numerous requests not to be contacted.

Pros

I have never used the platform. I set up a demo to try it out for a client two years ago and never completed the demo because we found another platform. I'm writing this review because they refuse to stop contacting me despite numerous requests and their "confirmation" that my email has been removed from their database.

Cons

Their sales tactics are aggressive, and they're unwilling to remove me from their sales database despite numerous requests. Their customer support reps say I was removed in January 2026, yet I continue to receive calls in April 2026. When I called this out, they stopped answering my inquiries.

### "Not trustworthy - They won’t give you a Gift Card for hearing them out!!!!"

August 15, 2025

2.0

Definitely not trustworthy and I have worked with HouseCall Pro two times. If they promise you anything, you should wait until they fulfill their promise.

Pros

Housecall Pro is consistent when it comes to reaching out to you for purchasing the latest product, however they are non reachable when you have an issue

Cons

I was promised a $100 Gift card for attending a Zoom call and not only held up my end but purchased a plan for the second time. I have yet to receive a gift card and I have been told by every department someone will reach out to me this week - That was 2 months ago!

Overall my experience with Housecall pro was very positive, it helped maintain efficiency in the company I worked for at the time and it was a great tool to utilize.

Pros

It was very simple and easy to use. The layout of the app was easy to educate employees on and was easy to integrate into daily use!

Cons

It would sometimes glitch out, as to when you would attempt to open a job page it would restart the app.

### "Common Sense Approach to Managing your Clients and Employees!"

August 20, 2019

5.0

Sometimes, using multiple software applications, to try and get one job done can be frustrating. Not so with HouseCall Pro. The customer service over chat is so quick and easy, as well as the "tips and troubleshooting" search -- any problems I am having are usually "self-generated." LOL!

Pros

This has got to be the easiest "learning curve" I have ever experienced. Coming from a completely different industry, to manage the office here was a bit daunting. BUT - HouseCall Pro made it much easier. a) Customers: Easy to set up customers in system, note their special preferences, create "tags" to track for where they heard about us, and contact them via emails or texts. Each account has the Zillow pic and profile of each of our customers - providing a wealth of information to us before we even arrive to service their home. b) Employees: Love the "personal touch" of adding the photos of our team - Our customers can see who is arriving - and - with the notification system, they know when they will be there. TimeTracker makes payroll a snap, and allows employees the flexibility to check in and out while out in the field thru the app - not tied to a punch clock or computer in the office. c) Scheduling: Easy to use, nice 'color-coding' features for each employee, with options to notify your customer of changes or not. Quickly able to schedule on the fly, thru the phone app. Can look day, week or month with a quick tab change. d) Invoicing: LOVE it --- the team can enter in all their details, which would normally have to be transcribed from paper notes, on the Work Orders thru the phone app. Nice presentation to the customers, with immediate email invoice available, the minute the job is done and paid for. AND it flows to QuickBooks!

Cons

Creating "work arounds" for creating multiple sub-accounts for a main client. Sometimes, there needs to be a three layer deep ability to categorize a customer. Example: Parent Company (Main Customer), which has multiple condominium complexes (Sub Accounts of Main Customer)- each one having its own name/ billing account, and then, the need to create sub accounts for each Condo Complex (a Sub Sub Account) - for each individual Unit (for service address)

Reason for choosing Housecall Pro

Another local plumbing outfit recommended we try HouseCall.

### "Management Efficiency"

July 21, 2022

5.0

It seems to be a great platform. I am actively learning and integrating other activities.

Pros

I love HouseCall Pro because it seems to be a one-stop-shop for management. It has the capability to add your Quickbooks which takes care of your taxes; Gusto for Payroll and many other for other required business activities. I am still learning all the additionally features.

Cons

I dislike the fact that once you create an Estimate and send to client it does not allow for the client to pay a deposit; despite the Estimate having the request for a deposit. Once Estimate is approved, the administrator has to manually convert the Estimate to Job (Copy to Job) then; the administrator must include a "new" deposit request on the Invoice since the request from the Estimate is not even automatically converted. This seems to be backward and retarded of the developers given the additionally impressive features of the software.

May 6, 2020

Before joining house call Pro I had just purchased 500 invoices for over $100 and I've only used since then maybe 12:00 house call Pro makes it easier with invoicing scheduling the pricing when booking job is very difficult because your categories are too long so when you look at the price list on your phone for example it's almost impossible to find what you're looking for I really believe this is your number one problem on your house call Pro at if you could fix this as well as the Rolodex problem for example when a customer calls in it shows house call Pro customer but then you look them up on the Rolodex and hit the search hourglass they do not come up so what's the use even having it I have gotten lucky before was able to do it by scrolling down a little bit but it's just doesn't make sense I would spend a little money and get some programmers and fix both of those problems it's very important that you abbreviate carpet is CPT uppercase C or all uppercase and in clean until there's more room to the right of that to put the title of what the item is in the price list I don't mean to jump around a little bit but I just got off work and I'm trying to wind down.

Pros

Scheduling jobs. But there are several problems with scheduling jobs that I mention later in this review please pay attention it could help your business a great deal I know from experience in the past dealing with other marketing companies such as Angie's List what they have done wrong the information provided here is priceless I have a degree in marketing please listen to what I have to say I think you all have great positive attitude and I really appreciate who you are but I really believe there's some issues that you need to fix at a low cost compared to the amount of money that house call Pro will lose in the future please consider everything in this review that I have to say and I promise you will be number one in this industry because already you show that you care by having the pros the people that really take this seriously go to your company meetings that is very intelligent but please read what I have to say here thank you!

Cons

I think this app needs some work for example existing customers is almost impossible to locate but you know they're in the Rolodex for one house called does have it right by showing that it's a previous customer but how do you look that person up in the Rolodex it's virtually impossible I get lucky every now and then but I've given up. The other problem is I paid $50 for a credit cards swiping product but it doesn't work and I don't quite get the text messages but if house call Pro had a live person I could figure out a lot more but it doesn't seem to exist I was at one time in contact with an \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and then they drop the ball I have nobody to talk to and another thing is when you do talk to people you should make it to where you are automatically emailed for a customer a representative review so then your representatives do a better job and try their best for example Angie's List represented always had a chip on their shoulders even though they were review company they never reviewed themselves I've watched them go from nine hundred million dollars almost a billion dollars down to five hundred million dollars and sold out with a Icee at 550 million dollars all because nobody would listen to their business partner Scott Watkins. I have a lot of entrepreneurial ideas and place I am soon retiring from carpet cleaning and I will be a multi-millionaire it would be in the best of of interest of house call Pro to listen to my advice I have a degree in marketing.

### "Perfect for Scheduling/Dispatching Services"

March 23, 2022

5.0

This software has saved time, which we know saved money. It has made what was a huge burden and workload so much lighter and easier to manage. Setting multiple schedules for multiple field technicians who do different jobs had never been easier to organize as well as keeping all of the customer information accessable in the easiest ways. This is 100% the best app for scheduling, invoicing, and more.

Pros

Before we found this software, we had to have everyone handwriting information, it was outdated and hard to access, and unorganized. This system has made our entire functionality change. We could never do what we do with a growing influx of customers without this phenomenal software. It has changed business and customer service for the better in every way.

Cons

The only issue we have is making sure that if we have a last minute change we have to ask our technician to refresh their app so that they can see changes. This is a minor inconvenience with the surplus of exemplary use we get from this software.

August 30, 2022

5.0

Overall, it's very easy to use and offers more features than any competitors.

Pros

Our technicians are able to clearly see where they need to go and get information about the job before they even arrive. We are also able to convey things from dispatch that empower the technicians before they even get in the homeowner's driveway. The ease of invoicing and creating a price book has increased our profitability. We have found customers are paying much quicker when we send the invoices out immediately upon job completion.

Cons

There aren't many cons. I do wish there was a better integration for service agreements. Industry standard agreements are annual and offer a discount on services for the duration of the service year. If there was a way to have that all integrated and automated it would be nice.

### "good for very small business les than 5 employees"

November 17, 2022

2.0

Better than using paper. Scheduling is best feature and better than other tools in the market (as it exists today). Contracting, invoicing, estimating, are only for a very small company. Editing is almost impossible.Changes are made with no advance knowledge. The data importing team (material list and customer list) are wonderful. Interface to quickbooks is not closed loop and is a mess.

Pros

HCP has a good scheduling function as it is easy to see a week and move resources around easily. It needs a rolling week versus a static Monday to Friday that is currently deployed. The current scheduling feature is HCP's best feature. Hopefully they will not change it and emulate other software firms that have absolutely poor scheduling functions

Cons

Impossible to use HCP to create contracts that are legally binding. Must use docuSign or another application. Invoicing cannot be customized. It is line items based and cannot be summarized. You cannot customize messaging, and invoices end up being most frustrating for customers on big multiday jobs. You cannot create and save your invoice letters. Integration with Quickbooks is a daily challenge, search function is truly a problem with the new release, there is no logic to how jobs and estimates are stored in hcp, hcp calls "jobs" invoices. Imagine getting an hcp "invoice" before the job has even started very confusing to customers and employees until you get used to it. this is for a tiny business or for a team who has no software experience.

Reason for choosing Housecall Pro

Price and scheduling. If other software tools had equivalent scheduling tool we would likely change software, however, scheduling is one of the most important workflows in a service business.

### "Incredulous"

February 1, 2023

3.0

So, we moved and I changed the business address a couple of months ago in my profile. Somehow during the change some profane words were written in the license box and then were saved. After that every invoice a customer received as a PDF has the profane words at the bottom of the invoice. HCP Said that they have no way of telling me when the exact date change was or a way to forward the emails sent to customers in the time frame so I can limit the amount of customers I need to confess this to. (some customers don't look at the PDF) This is something to think about here because HCP sends the email and we don't get Cc'ed or Bcc'ed. Therefore after a customer gets an invoice a permitted staff worker can change information later. It is incredulous that they can't look back at email history; I would think twice about using Twilio then. Although it is on my end that the profanity was created it was HCP that polished it into customers email. this makes them libel. Customers don't often open the PDFs when one does I will promptly give them HCP's number.

Pros

good for new company that wants to go paperless.

Cons

HCP the company is moving towards marketing. The pro clients are no longer the target clients. The pros are now the "Product" and the new target audience are warrantee companies. There is no way to quickly search for jobs and clients from the main page using key word. Things that make sense on a google platform are nixed in the HCP board room.And my main complaint: emails to clients are sent from HCP and the Pros are not even sent a copy of what they get. Therefore, there is no traceability compliance. When an invoice is created and sent the job is not locked up and can be edited after the client is billed out. The office will never see what the client gets sent and HCP can not dig it up for you. Emails are lost after 7 days I'm told.
