How we calculated this: Each team size is compared with the lowest-priced Housecall Pro plan built for that many users, at the number of users the plan includes: Basic for 1, Essentials for 5, and MAX for 8. Housecall Pro packages different features with each plan, so this compares price, not identical feature sets. Full methodology

Housecall Pro also sells tools beyond these everyday workflows, such as route optimization, live GPS tracking, job costing, QuickBooks sync, review management, consumer financing, an open API, and marketing and phone add-ons[1]. The difference is what comes in one plan: FieldOpsPro puts the tools crews use every day in one app at one per-user price.
A fair comparison
You may not need everything Housecall Pro sells.
Housecall Pro is a strong choice for businesses that want an extensive home-service platform with route optimization, marketing, review management, financing, QuickBooks integration, flat-rate pricing, API access, and other business-management tools.
But if your crew mainly needs the everyday tools listed here, FieldOpsPro gives you those core workflows without putting your business on a $149–$299/month software plan.

FAQ
Questions About Switching From Housecall Pro
Is FieldOpsPro a good alternative to Housecall Pro?
For many contractors, yes. FieldOpsPro is a strong alternative if your crew mainly needs job management, scheduling, field documentation, employee time tracking, team and client communication, estimates, and invoicing, without Housecall Pro's broader and more expensive set of business tools. If your business relies on Housecall Pro-specific functionality such as QuickBooks integration, route optimization, review management, consumer financing, API access, marketing, or its phone system, check those requirements before you switch. Compare the features side by side.
How much does FieldOpsPro cost compared with Housecall Pro?
FieldOpsPro is $10 per user per month, billed monthly, with every feature included. Housecall Pro sells three plans, priced as monthly equivalents of annual billing: Basic at $59 a month with 1 user included ($79 billed monthly), Essentials at $149 a month with 5 users included ($189 billed monthly), MAX at $299 a month with 8 users included ($329 billed monthly). For a 5-person crew, that is $50 a month with FieldOpsPro versus $149 a month for Housecall Pro Essentials on annual billing. Housecall Pro's plans include different features, so this compares price, not identical feature sets. Housecall Pro prices as published on October 8, 2026. See what your crew would pay.
Does FieldOpsPro have scheduling and dispatch?
Yes. The office plans the crew's work in day, week, and month calendar views in the web app, and each crew member sees their jobs for the day in the iPhone or Android app. Assign one or more crew members to each job, set jobs to repeat weekly or monthly, and crew members get a push notification when they are assigned. Tap a job's address to open directions in your maps app. FieldOpsPro does not offer route optimization or a drag-and-drop dispatch board. See how job scheduling works.
Does FieldOpsPro support photos and videos?
Yes, on every account. Your crew captures photos and videos in the app, stamped with the time and location, and they sync to the right job on their own, even after a stretch without signal. Mark up photos with drawings, text, and shapes, then share them as a PDF photo report, a web gallery link, or through the client portal. See photo and video sync, photo markup, and photo exports.
Does FieldOpsPro have a client portal?
Yes. Every FieldOpsPro account includes a client portal at no extra cost. Your customers sign up with the email address on their customer record to see their jobs, the photos and videos you choose to share, and their estimates and invoices. They can approve estimates, pay invoices online once you connect a payment account, and message your company from the FieldOpsPro iPhone or Android app. You decide which jobs and photos they see.
Does FieldOpsPro have estimates and invoicing?
Yes. Build estimates and invoices on your phone or computer, pull in items from your price book, and send them by text or email. Customers approve estimates online, and an approved estimate turns into an invoice without retyping. Invoicing works through your connected Stripe or Square account, so customers can pay by card online. See invoicing and estimates.
Does FieldOpsPro track employee time?
Yes. Crew members clock in and out from the app, with GPS recorded at clock-in and clock-out, and their hours land on timesheets the office can review and edit in the web app. FieldOpsPro does not offer live location tracking. See the home dashboard.
Does Housecall Pro have features FieldOpsPro doesn't?
Yes. Housecall Pro offers route optimization, live employee GPS tracking, self-serve online booking, e-signatures on estimates, QuickBooks Online sync, job costing, flat-rate pricing, review management, consumer financing, an open API on its MAX plan, a sales proposal tool, recurring service plans, and paid add-ons for marketing campaigns and a business phone system. FieldOpsPro does not try to reproduce every one of those. It focuses on the work most crews do every day, from the schedule and job photos to timesheets, the client portal, estimates, invoices, and payments, and includes all of it in one plan.
Can I try FieldOpsPro without a credit card?
Yes. The 14-day free trial includes every feature and does not require a credit card. If you decide to stay, it is $10 per user per month with no contract, and you can cancel anytime. Start your free trial.

Housecall Pro figures are monthly equivalents of annual billing: Basic $59/month with 1 user included, Essentials $149/month with 5 users, and MAX $299/month with 8 users. Billed month to month, the same plans are $79, $189, and $329/month. Each team size is compared with the cheapest Housecall Pro plan that holds it: Basic for 1 user, Essentials for 2–5, and MAX for 6–8. MAX lists additional users at $35/month each, shown the same under annual and monthly billing, and Housecall Pro's Help Center lists additional logins as available only on MAX, so teams larger than 8 are priced on MAX plus $35 per additional user. Housecall Pro packages different features into each plan, so the plans are not feature-for-feature equivalents of FieldOpsPro or of each other. FieldOpsPro is $10 per user per month, billed monthly, no annual contract, with a 14-day free trial. Taxes, payment processing fees, introductory offers, and add-ons excluded.
