Overview
HouseCall Pro is a cloud-based business management solution that has futuristic invoicing features. Even though the overall product covers many facets of a business, the payment automation and invoice generation stand out. The product is viable for companies of all sizes.
Plans & Pricing
HouseCall Pro has a trial version that you can easily access prior to purchasing any of the following packages:
Simple
This plan covers 1 user, costs $39 per month if you go for an annual plan and $49 per month if you choose to rather pay monthly. Features or users can be added for $20/each. It includes a wide set of features like IOS, Android and web applications, email receipts, invoicing, estimates and a dashboard with all the important statistics.
Modern
The modern plan can be used by 1-6 users, costs $109 per month on an annual plan and $137 per month if you choose to pay monthly. It has all the simple package features along with chat support, email reminders, time tracking and customizable SMS notifications.
Advanced
The advanced package sets the bar really high. Unlimited users can have access for a fee of $199 per month on an annual subscription and $249 if you pay monthly. It comes with all the modern features along with customizable reports.
HouseCall Pro’s pricing policy is fairly reasonable compared to its counterparts. They offer three different plans which can cater to the needs of businesses of variable sizes.
Features & Functionality
HouseCall Pro has the following beneficial features:
Customizable SMS Notifications
With Housecall you can send customizable SMS notifications to your customers. This is a great way to keep your customers in the loop throughout the whole process.
Estimates
Estimate generation is straightforward and intuitive on Housecall Pro. With a simple click on the “New” button, you are taken to the estimate creation screen, where you can select the customer, the line items and the schedule necessary to generate the estimate.
Multiple Payment Methods Within the Application:
With Housecall Pro, you can accept payments via cash, credit cards and checks directly from the application. Clicking on the “Pay” button takes the user to the available options and, for instance, if you want to use your credit card, all you have to do is scan it and confirm your details before making the payment.
Time Tracking
Time tracking allows you to log the precise amount of time spent on a job. This helps a lot in ensuring that a client is never billed for more or less than the put-in work. Turning the time tracker on or off takes a mere click.
Dashboard
The dashboard, which is also the application home page, displays all the necessary information in one place including time tracking, reports, estimates, paid invoices, due invoices and online booking etc.
Add-Ons and Integrations
Housecall Pro integrates with PayPal, MasterCard and American Express seamlessly. There are also other applications it integrates with to facilitate managing your business, such as Google calendar and QuickBooks online.
Ease of use
Housecall Pro is fairly easy to use and get a hang of, even if you are a novice. All the most important features are only a few clicks away and the design is simple but isn’t necessarily pleasing to the eyes.
