How Much Does Housecall Pro Cost in 2026?
$79 a month for one person. $299 for a team of five. $649 for a team of eight. The number that catches people out is not on that list — it is the switch above the Housecall Pro plans, which changes the price and how many people each plan covers. Read it wrong and the Housecall Pro cost you budgeted is not the one that leaves your account.
This page prices the whole bill — plan, seats, add-ons and card processing — then puts the same crew on Opsler at $25 a seat so you can see both numbers in one place.

Quick Answer: Housecall Pro Cost per Month, Checked 6 August 2026
Housecall Pro publishes three plans and one control: “How many users? Teams | Individual”, sitting above the plans. Choose Individual and you get Basic $79, Essentials $229 and Max $349 a month, one user each. Choose Teams and the same page shows Essentials at $299 for five users and Max at $649 for eight. Same plans, different prices, different seat counts.
There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card and no contract. There is no free plan, and no published price for a single extra seat. Your bill is that plan, plus whatever you add on, plus card processing at “as low as 2.59%” and 1% on bank payments.
Opsler charges $25 per seat per month, no minimum, and gives two seats away free forever. Five people is $125 against $299. Eight is $200 against $649. Nothing sits behind a higher tier, and nothing is taken out of what you collect.

No public price; the vendor quotes per customer.
External vendor details checked 6 August 2026. Pricing and packaging in this category change frequently — confirm current terms on the vendor’s own pricing page before you commit.

Housecall Pro Plans: the Official Table
Every published rate, in both states of the control, read off the vendor’s own site on 6 August 2026. The last column is the one worth staring at — what each plan actually costs per person once you divide by the seats it covers.
| Plan | Individual view | Teams view | Cost per person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $79/mo · 1 user | Not shown in the Teams view | $79 for the one seat |
| Essentials | $229/mo · 1 user | $299/mo · 5 users | $229 solo · just under $60 each at five |
| Max | $349/mo · 1 user | $649/mo · 8 users | $349 solo · about $81 each at eight |
| Opsler Pro | $25/mo · 1 seat | $25 per seat, any number | $25 each at one, five, eight or fifty |
Official housecallpro.com/pricing, checked 6 August 2026. No free tier — the alternative to a paid plan is the 14-day trial. No annual rate is published, and no price for a single additional seat.
The per-person column is where a small shop wins or loses. A team of five on Essentials is paying just under $60 a head; the same five on Opsler pay $25 a head and every feature is on the plan. If Housecall Pro is one of several products on your shortlist, the 12-platform field service software comparison puts the same per-person maths against the rest of the field.
Check it yourself in thirty seconds — and screenshot what you see
- 1. Open housecallpro.com/pricing and look above the plans for “How many users?”.
- 2. Toggle it between Teams and Individual. Watch two things move, not one — the price and the number of users the plan includes.
- 3. Screenshot the state you were quoted from, with the date. This is the single most common reason two people quote different Housecall Pro plans and both believe they are right.
Do the same thing on Opsler’s pricing page and there is nothing to toggle. One number, one plan, and it reads the same whether you are one person or twenty.
Monthly vs Annual Billing
Every Housecall Pro price you can check today is a monthly rate. There is no annual toggle on the pricing page and no annual figure published anywhere on it. So if a comparison article shows you two columns of Housecall Pro plans, one headed “billed annually”, it is quoting a price list that the vendor has moved on from — and the discount it promises is not one you can actually buy today.
Compare monthly against monthly
It is the only column that exists on both sides. An annual-equivalent number from an old roundup will always look cheaper than a real monthly one, and it is not a discount you can accept.
No contract either way
Housecall Pro states there are no contracts and you can cancel any time. Opsler bills monthly with no commitment. Neither of you is asking for a year up front, so neither of you needs an annual price.
The switch matters more than the cadence
Teams or Individual changes the price by hundreds of dollars a month. Whether the number is billed in January or spread across twelve months does not.
Opsler prices one way, so there is nothing to convert. $25 per seat per month, billed monthly, cancel any month. No annual lock to buy a discount with, no renewal rate that differs from the signup rate, and a free plan underneath it if you decide to slow down for a quarter. Start two seats free today and you never have to work out which column you are reading.
Included Users and Additional-User Costs
Housecall Pro publishes no price for one more seat. There is no seat top-up on the pricing page at all — you move the Teams/Individual control and the whole plan re-prices, seat count included. That is why two specific hires cost far more than the person’s wages suggest, and why Housecall Pro plans behave so differently from a per-seat product as you grow.
| Your team | What Housecall Pro publishes | Opsler |
|---|---|---|
| Just you | Basic $79/mo in the Individual view | $0 — the free Budding plan covers two seats |
| Two people | Basic covers one; the published route to a second seat is Essentials in the Teams view, $299 for five | $0 — still inside the free plan |
| Five people | Essentials, Teams view — $299/mo, five users | $125/month |
| Six people | Essentials covers five; the next published step is Max at $649 for eight | $150/month |
| Eight people | Max, Teams view — $649/mo, eight users | $200/month |
| Ten people | Nothing published above eight — that one is a phone call | $250/month, published |
Two numbers carry the whole section. Your second person costs $220 a month — the step from Basic at $79 to Essentials at $299 — and it buys you three seats you have nobody to put in. Your sixth person costs $350 a month, the step from Essentials at $299 to Max at $649, and hands you two more empty seats on the way through.
On Opsler the second person costs $25. So does the sixth, the eleventh and the fiftieth. There is no band to cross, no tier above the one you are on and no seat minimum underneath it, so your software bill tracks your payroll instead of jumping ahead of it. If that is the shape you want, the Housecall Pro alternatives comparison lines up the rest of the field on the same basis.
Add-Ons and Optional Services
Start with the correction, because what Housecall Pro plans include has moved and most comparison articles have not caught up. The Sales Proposal Tool and membership / recurring service plans are shown as included in Essentials under the Teams view, checked 6 August 2026. They were once sold as paid extras and a lot of pages still price them that way. If you were about to add them to your budget, don’t.
In the plan
Under Teams, Essentials carries the sales proposal tool and the membership / recurring service plan feature at no extra charge. That is the vendor’s own pricing page, checked 6 August 2026 — not a review site’s summary of it.
Priced somewhere else
Payroll, accounting, marketing, the AI answering products and fleet tracking are separate purchases, and the pricing page carries no figure for any of them. You find out what they cost in the demo, which is after you have already built a budget.
One plan. Nothing sold on the side.
One paid plan, $25 a seat, and everything is on it: dispatch and the schedule board, your flat-rate price book, single-price and Good-Better-Best estimates approved with a one-time code and a signature on the customer’s doorstep, parts tracked across warehouse, truck and van with the cost pulled onto the job, invoicing with an office approval queue you can switch on or off, warranty cover that shows the covered lines at $0, a token-link customer portal with no account for the customer to create, and a field app that keeps working when the signal dies.
Nothing to unlock, nothing to quote, no upgrade conversation in month four. The price you see is the price at the end of the month.
Payment-Processing and Transaction Costs
This is the line item people forget, and on a healthy shop it is bigger than the subscription. Housecall Pro publishes card processing at “as low as 2.59%” and 1% on bank payments, checked 6 August 2026. Run it against your own volume rather than an average: at 2.59%, every $10,000 you take on cards costs $259.
Card processing
“As low as 2.59%” per transaction, published on housecallpro.com/pricing. “As low as” is a floor, so confirm the rate you are actually offered before you sign.
Bank payments
1% on bank-to-bank transfers. Cheaper than card, and worth steering larger invoices toward if the platform takes a cut either way.
Opsler takes 0% of what you collect
Opsler is not a payment processor, so no slice of your revenue passes through it and nothing is deducted from a customer payment. You keep your own merchant account and whatever rate you negotiated — and if you have ever argued a processor down a quarter of a point, you know that is worth defending. On $10,000 of card volume a month, keeping your own rate is usually worth more than the entire software bill.
It also means your software cost stays flat in a busy August. Revenue doubles, the bill does not.
One-, Five- and Ten-User Scenarios
Three snapshots of Housecall Pro cost against Opsler’s per-seat rate, at the team sizes buyers actually ask about. Every figure for the Housecall Pro plans below is a published monthly rate, checked 6 August 2026.
One person
Housecall Pro: Basic, $79/mo in the Individual view
Opsler: $0 — Budding covers two seats, 50 jobs a month and unlimited customers, free forever
A solo operator pays nothing on Opsler and still gets estimates, invoicing, parts and the field app.
Five people
Housecall Pro: Essentials, Teams view — $299/mo
Opsler: $125/month on Pro
You keep $174 every month. Over a season that is a van payment, and nothing on the Opsler side is gated behind a higher plan.
Ten people
Housecall Pro: Nothing published above eight users — you are quoted
Opsler: $250/month, published where anyone can check it
This is the size where a published per-seat rate stops being a nice-to-have. You can budget next year without booking a call.
The ten-person row is the one that decides most shortlists. A published price you can check at 2 a.m. beats a quoted price set for you individually by someone whose job is to work out what you will pay. Opsler’s is $25 a seat for a one-van shop and $25 a seat for a ten-van one, and there is a one-time lifetime option at $499 for 5 seats if you would rather stop paying monthly altogether.
Contract, Trial, Onboarding and Cancellation Questions
Ten questions that decide the real number. Housecall Pro publishes the answers to some of them; the rest you have to ask for. Opsler’s answers are all on one public page, which is the point of the column on the right.
| Ask this | Housecall Pro, published | Opsler, published |
|---|---|---|
| Is there a contract? | No contracts, cancel any time | Monthly, cancel any month |
| Is there a trial, and does it need a card? | 14 days, no credit card | 14 days on Pro, no credit card |
| Is there a free plan behind the trial? | No free plan | Budding: 2 seats, 50 jobs a month, free forever |
| How many people does the plan cover? | 1 under Individual; 5 on Essentials and 8 on Max under Teams | Exactly the seats you pay for |
| What does one more person cost? | No published seat price — the plan re-prices | $25 |
| Which demo features are extra? | Payroll, accounting, marketing and fleet are separate products | None — one plan, everything on it |
| What is the card rate? | “As low as 2.59%”, 1% on bank payments | 0% — Opsler is not the processor |
| Is there an implementation project? | Ask before you sign | No — pick your trade and start dispatching |
| Can I bulk-import my customers? | Ask what migrates and what does not | Excel templates for customers, team, inventory and locations |
| What is the renewal price? | Ask — it is not on the pricing page | The same $25 a seat |
If the field matters as much as the office to you, the other question worth asking is what happens in a crawl space with no bars — we answer it side by side on Housecall Pro offline mode.
Housecall Pro vs Opsler Pricing
Both companies publish their prices, which already puts them ahead of most of this category. The difference is the shape: Housecall Pro plans bundle seats into tiers and sell the rest as separate products, while Opsler sells one plan by the seat and puts everything on it.
| Dimension | Housecall Pro | Opsler |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Three plans plus a Teams/Individual control that re-prices all of them | One rate per seat, no minimum |
| Published monthly price | $79 / $229 / $349 for one user; $299 for five, $649 for eight | $25 a seat, at any headcount |
| Five people | $299 | $125 |
| Eight people | $649 | $200 |
| One more person | No published seat price — move the control and the plan re-prices | $25 |
| Free plan | None — 14-day trial, no card | Budding — 2 seats, 50 jobs a month, unlimited customers, free forever |
| One-time option | Not offered | $499 for 5 lifetime seats |
| Feature gating | By plan tier, plus a separate catalogue of add-on products | One paid plan — everything is on it |
| Payments | Card “as low as 2.59%”, bank payments 1% | 0% platform fee — keep your own processor and your own rate |
| Your books | Payroll and accounting sold as separate products | QuickBooks- and Xero-formatted exports your bookkeeper imports as one reviewed batch |
| In the field | Mobile app for the crew | Installs from the browser on desktop, Android and iPhone; jobs, photos, invoices and payment keep working with no signal |
| Setting up | Ask about onboarding before you sign | Pick your trade and the account already speaks it — job types, terminology and 20+ price-book items ready to edit |
Read the table at your own headcount and the answer is the same at every size we can compare. Five people: $299 against $125. Eight: $649 against $200. Two people: $299 against nothing at all, because two seats on Opsler are free and stay free. That is the same week’s work — booked, quoted, done and invoiced — for a fraction of the money, with none of it skimmed off the payments you collect.
If you are already on Housecall Pro, the switch is smaller than it looks. Bring your customers, team, inventory and locations over on Excel templates rather than retyping them, pick your trade at signup so the account already speaks it — service calls, maintenance agreements, the job types you actually sell — and put your crew on it from whatever browser their phones already have. Run the two side by side for a fortnight on the 14-day trial. It costs nothing and it does not ask for a card.
Residual FAQs
Does Housecall Pro offer a free trial or contract-free option?
Both, checked 6 August 2026. Housecall Pro runs a 14-day free trial that does not ask for a credit card, and its pricing page states plainly that there are no contracts and you can cancel any time. What sits behind the trial is a paid plan — there is no free tier to fall back on when the fortnight ends. That is the one place Opsler answers differently: the Budding plan gives you two seats and 50 jobs a month for nothing, with no card and no end date, so a two-person shop can run its whole week on Opsler and never see an invoice.
Why is my real Housecall Pro cost per month higher than the plan price?
Three things sit outside the headline. Seats are bundled into the plan rather than sold one at a time, so the person you hire next can move you to a bigger plan and a row of seats you have nobody to put in. Payroll, accounting, marketing and fleet products are separate purchases with no price on the pricing page, so you meet them in the demo rather than in the budget. And card processing is a percentage of what you collect, which grows with revenue instead of headcount. Price the whole bundle at your actual team size before you compare it with anything.
How many users do Housecall Pro plans include?
One each under the Individual view — Basic, Essentials and Max all cover a single user. Switch the control to Teams and Essentials covers five people at $299 a month and Max covers eight at $649. There is no published price for one extra seat on top of a plan, so the way you grow is by moving to the next plan, not by adding a line to the bill. Opsler runs the other way round: $25 per seat per month, no minimum and no bundle, so six people cost exactly six seats.
Is Housecall Pro worth it for a two-person shop?
Do the arithmetic on the second person before you decide. Basic covers one user at $79 a month; the published route to covering a second is the Teams view of Essentials at $299 for five users, so your first hire adds $220 a month and three seats you are not using. On Opsler two people are free indefinitely on Budding, and if you want the Pro feature set the pair costs $50 a month with a 14-day trial that takes no card. Two people is exactly the size where the gap is widest.
Review Opsler pricing — $25 a seat, two seats free forever, and a 14-day trial that never asks for a card.
