Switching from Housecall Pro

Housecall Pro puts the import team behind its top tier and asks for a year up front. Here is the comparison, and how to move your customers across.

30 days free, no credit card. Or look around a demo account first.

No password to make up. We email you a link and it signs you in.

Their tier prices above the entry plan are quoted rather than published as a table, so there is no honest way to draw a line on a chart for them.

Their prices as published on their pricing page, checked 2026-09-04. Prices move. Check theirs before you decide anything.

What Housecall Pro does better

  • They import more than we do: customers, jobs and a price book, not just customers.
  • Their consumer booking and marketing tools bring in work. We have nothing like that.
  • A human will do your import for you, if you are on the plan that includes it.

If most of your work arrives through their consumer booking and marketing tools, that is a real advantage and this page is not going to talk you out of it.

What is different here

No annual commitment

Month to month. The published complaint about them is how hard it is to downgrade or leave partway through a year, and the way to not have that problem is to not sign up for it.

The import is not a tier

Bringing your customers in is the first thing anybody needs to do, so it is on every plan including the trial. Charging for the door seems like the wrong place to put a paywall.

The margin is on the quote while you build it

Costs on every line, and what you keep shown before you send it.

Moving your customers over

Export your customers from Housecall Pro, upload the file, and we work out which column is which. Their column names are ones we already know, so there is usually nothing to match by hand. You see what is new, what you already have and what the file repeats before anything is saved.

What Housecall Pro brings in

  • Customers
  • Jobs
  • Price book
  • A QuickBooks sync, on their side

What it leaves behind

  • Anything at all, without you preparing the spreadsheet yourself, unless you are on their top tier where their team does it for you

Rather not do it yourself? Email the file to pettigrewlabllc@gmail.com and it will be in your account. That is not a plan feature and it is not going to become one.

Common questions

Can I move my customers over myself?

Yes, and it takes about a minute. Export your customers, upload the file, and we match the columns. Their column names are ones we already know.

Will you do the import for me?

Ask and we will. Send the file to pettigrewlabllc@gmail.com and it will be in your account. It is not a plan feature and it is not going to become one.

Is there a contract?

No. Month to month, and the 30 day trial does not ask for a card.
