Housecall Pro 4+

Long time subscriber

Our HVAC company in OC, CA has used Housecall Pro since nearly their inception. Very happy with its performance and ease of use. Took awhile to implement, and wish they had a hardcopy training manual to go with their program. Over the years there have been several things that I’ve asked for and, believe it or not, many got implemented. One of them was being able to be working on the weekly schedule on my phone and click “today” and it would go directly to the current day. This was important to me because I would be working on the schedule and then would have to get back and going my day. This is just an example of how it’s improved over the years. We love how it syncs up to Quickbooks Online. We also operate with Mac computers and software and it works well. Just make sure you use chrome on your browser when using it for best Performance. They have honored our agreement on keeping the original price and that it would not change over the years. It’s better than a lifetime gym membership because we actually use it every day of the week. It’s affordable when compared to the other high priced software programs that primarily cater to large companies. House Call Pro has found their niche in smaller family run business businesses. We highly recommend!

Best Service Management Platform

I love it.. i do everything on it.. scheduling, payments (pushes to quickbooks).. the only problem I’ve had is it sometimes didn’t push the payment or invoice to quickbooks but it was my fault for putting certain characters in the line items like / () ; as soon as I learned that, I haven’t had any problems... and their support staff is really great I do absolutely everything on my phone.. I had to log onto the computer a few times to set up certain things... It’s also really great for getting reviews.. you link it to your google business page and Facebook and after the job is invoiced/ paid, they automatically send another email or text if it doesn’t have Their email asking how the service was with a star rating they can just click right there on the 5 stars and be done, or they have the option to write something in it’s super dumb easy quick for the customer to give a review... one other thing you can set up; after the job is done, you can choose how long weeks months days whatever for a postcard to be sent out with whatever you want to say on it. You set it up once and never think about it again.. the whole thing is pretty sweet.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Glad to hear that you're loving the tools we made for home service businesses. Let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions to improve.

Still needs improvements

We are integrated so we can’t change now - HOWEVER half of what I was sold is true. You DO NOT have an account manager. That’s a flat out LIE. The merchant fees are INSANE - upwards of about 7% is taken from every sale - which is ABSURD; and they will you it’s 3.99% and plus this and plus that- it’s 7% bottom line!!! Oh and don’t think your bank will match what you think you’re earning it doesn’t add up - plus it takes days and days to get your money funded- or pay more for instant deposit which has never worked and still fees galore. You have to input EVERY SINGLE service. There’s no offer to set up reoccurring - needs fixing ASAP! Also they will tell you it imports to Quickbooks/ it doesn’t “yet”. I assure you, you’ll get the run around. Here’s my positives- the scheduling is relatively easy, clients like the ability to be invoiced ( some you have to hunt down for days, months) and you can gps to a location easily. I hope sales and actual product development meet in the middle and SOON. For $150 month plus 7% it’s a really expensive calendar!
