Housecall Pro ranks first because it pairs an easy app with prices you can see before a sales call. Basic costs $59 a month billed annually and covers online booking, scheduling and dispatching, quotes and invoices with online payments for 1 user. Essentials, at $149 billed annually, includes 5 users and adds routes, GPS tracking, commissions and a QuickBooks Online sync. MAX, at $299 billed annually with 8 users, is the plan most HVAC shops will want, since it adds recurring service plans for maintenance agreements, a sales proposal tool and route optimization. The HVAC page describes good, better, best proposals on replacements, AI Pricing Insights, progress invoicing for changeouts and auto-billing of maintenance plans. The trade-off is that the agreement tools sit on the top published plan, and extra MAX users cost $35 a month each. There is no contract, and the 14-day trial unlocks every MAX feature.
