That table compares the cheapest plan that fits the headcount, not feature parity. Housecall Pro's Basic includes price book and job costing, while Service Fusion lists job costing and inventory as Starter add-ons that come standard on Plus. For a fair comparison at 8 users, compare Housecall Pro Max ($329) with Service Fusion Plus ($382). Annual billing narrows or reverses the gap: Housecall Pro Max is $299/mo billed annually while Service Fusion Plus is $325/mo.

Feature differences that matter

• Flat-rate pricing and GPS tracking: Housecall Pro lists flat-rate pricing and employee GPS tracking (via phone, no hardware) in Essentials. Service Fusion lists flat-rate integration and GPS fleet tracking as separate offerings and add-ons.
• Recurring service plans: Housecall Pro lists these on Max. Service Fusion lists progressive billing and recurring invoicing as an add-on on Starter and Plus.
• Voice and AI: Housecall Pro lists CSR AI, Voice, Pipeline and Campaigns as products you can add. Service Fusion lists ServiceCall.ai, an AI phone-answering product.
• Accounting: Housecall Pro syncs QuickBooks Online (Essentials and up). Service Fusion says it integrates with both QuickBooks Online and Desktop, which matters if you cannot or will not move off Desktop.
• Industries: Service Fusion's menu lists HVAC and refrigeration, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, garage door, locksmith, irrigation, pool, remodeling, cleaning, solar, roofing, pressure washing and more. Housecall Pro's plan quiz lists HVAC, plumbing, appliance, home cleaning, general contractor, handyman, electrical, landscaping, window cleaning and pest control.

Who should choose Housecall Pro

A 1 to 5 person HVAC, plumbing or electrical company that wants a phone-friendly product with published prices and a no-card trial. Choose it if your price will mostly sit on Basic or Essentials. The company lists live phone and chat support, a free mobile app and offline viewing on every plan. If you have 6+ users, the jump to Max is the moment to compare against alternatives (see Housecall Pro alternatives).

Who should choose Service Fusion

An 8 to 30 person service company that does not want to count seats, or a company that must stay on QuickBooks Desktop. Service Fusion's price starts high ($245/mo), so a solo operator will almost always pay less elsewhere. It also lists no public free trial, so expect a demo and ask whether you can run a pilot before committing. Because pricing is flat, adding a seasonal technician or office helper does not change the bill.

Before you sign, confirm exactly what is in the plan you will buy: Starter lists job photo uploads, inventory management, job costing, custom documents, eSign, customer web portal and recurring invoicing as add-ons, so the price you see may not be the price you pay.

A quick way to decide

1. Count everyone who needs a login, including the office, over the next 12 months.
2. List the five features you cannot live without. Mark which plan has each at both vendors.
3. Price both at that headcount and plan, monthly and annual.
4. If the totals are within about 15%, pick the one whose app your technicians prefer in a one-week trial or demo.
