The Housecall Pro alternative built only for HVAC.
One trade, deeper features. Flat $499/mo per shop — no tiered plans, no per-tech fees. HVAC-native dispatch, mobile, memberships. Days to set up.
What's actually wrong with Housecall Pro.
Online booking, recurring jobs, custom forms, marketing — features split across Essentials, MAX, and add-ons. Want it all? Pay for the top tier. Want a small piece? Pay anyway.
On the top tier, additional technicians cost extra each month. Add 3 techs, and the bill grows by hundreds. Flat per-shop pricing isn't on the table.
HVAC sits alongside plumbing, electrical, cleaning, landscaping, and pest. Every feature has to compromise. Nothing is HVAC-specific by design.
Built for HVAC, not 6 different trades.
Housecall Pro serves HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, landscaping, and pest. We do one trade — residential HVAC for $1M–$5M shops — really well. HVAC-specific dispatch, equipment tracking, and pricebook ship out of the box.
Flat per-shop pricing instead of tiered plans.
Housecall Pro tiers add features as you pay more — and per-tech fees stack on the top tier. We're $499/mo flat per shop, every feature included, no upgrade path required.
HVAC depth: GBB estimates, memberships, route optimization.
Good-Better-Best estimates that close at the kitchen table. Membership management. Drag-to-reassign dispatch with Runny, the AI assistant that balances the day. Things Housecall Pro's all-trades approach has to keep generic.
Built for what HVAC shops actually do.
Online booking, GBB estimates, memberships, dispatch, mobile, QuickBooks — every feature in the platform, every plan, no upsells.
Features locked behind tier upgrades. Online booking on Essentials, recurring jobs on MAX, marketing add-on extra.
Templates 80% of shops adopt as-is. Good-Better-Best estimates close at the kitchen table.
Estimate-builder is generic. GBB requires manual setup. Pricebook starts blank.
Comfort Club on one screen — renewals, slipping members, tune-ups due. No add-ons, no extra tier.
HCP has memberships, but advanced features sit behind MAX. Configure carefully.
$499/mo flat per shop. Add techs, add features — same price.
Tier base + per-tech fee on top tier + add-ons. Bill scales with team size.

The price on the website is the price you pay — no renewal hikes, no tier creep.
And the gap widens every year — HCP renewals trend up, per-user fees creep, and most $1.5M+ shops end up adding more add-ons over time.
Pricing based on publicly reported figures and operator interviews as of 2026. Your actual cost may vary.

What HVAC owners ask.
How is Run a call. different from Housecall Pro?
Two things: built only for HVAC (HCP covers 6+ trades), and flat per-shop pricing instead of tiered plans with per-tech fees on the top tier. Our features (pricebook, GBB estimates, memberships, dispatch) are HVAC-specific from day one.
Will I save money switching from Housecall Pro?
Depends on your tier and team size. Shops on HCP's middle/top tiers with multiple techs typically pay $400–$800+/mo. Run a call. is $499/mo flat regardless of team size — predictable as you scale.
What about Housecall Pro's consumer-facing features (online booking, etc.)?
We have online booking and two-way texting too. The difference is everything is included at $499 — no upgrade path required to unlock features.
How long does migration take?
Days for setup, full data import within a week. We move customers, equipment history, jobs, invoices, and pricebook — at no charge.
Will my technicians have to relearn the mobile app?
Most techs are productive on day one. The mobile app is closer to a consumer app than enterprise software — schedule, photos, signatures, payment, GBB estimates, all on the truck. Tested with techs who'd been on HCP for years.
Is the pricing really flat?
Yes. $499/mo per shop, every feature included, no per-tech fees, no tier upgrades. Founding 25 program offers $199/mo for the first 25 shops; spots are limited.
