What contractors say about Housecall Pro
Tier upgrades add up fast
Housecall Pro's Basic plan looks affordable at $79/mo, but GPS tracking, QuickBooks sync, and reporting dashboards are gated behind its higher Essentials ($189/mo) and MAX ($329/mo) tiers. The real monthly cost ends up much higher than the headline price.
Crew Rivet includes GPS tracking, QuickBooks sync, and reporting in the Crew and Boss plans. No surprise tier jumps.
AI-only customer support
Getting help from a real person at Housecall Pro has become increasingly difficult. Many contractors report being stuck in chatbot loops when they need urgent assistance with billing or scheduling issues.
Crew Rivet provides direct support from people who understand the trades. No chatbot runaround.
No customer statement generation
Housecall Pro doesn't let you generate account statements for customers with outstanding balances. Contractors have to track receivables manually or use a separate tool.
Crew Rivet's customer portal gives your clients a clear view of invoices, payments, and balances. Generate statements in one click.
Simple, honest pricing
All plans include a 60-day free trial. No credit card required. Cancel anytime.
