The Housecall Pro alternative built only for HVAC.
One trade, deeper features. One flat price per shop: no feature tiers, 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, phone minutes billed per call, all split across Essentials, MAX, and add-ons. A shop that starts around $400/mo often lands near $900 once it adds what it actually needs.
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–$10M 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 one flat price 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.
One flat price per shop. Add techs, add features. Same price.
Tier base + per-tech fee on top tier + add-ons. Bill scales with team size.

No renewal hikes, no tier creep. What you sign up at is what you keep paying.
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.

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.
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 in the one flat price: 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.
