FieldCommerce vs Housecall Pro
Housecall Pro leaves QuickBooks sync off its Basic plan, keeps recurring service plans and one-click route optimization for MAX, and sells Tap to Pay and its CSR AI as add-ons. FieldCommerce includes the full platform, the AI features, and white-glove onboarding on every plan, with a 30-day free trial.
The short answer
Housecall Pro saves its best features for its top plan. FieldCommerce puts them on every plan.
Choose FieldCommerce if
- You sell maintenance plans and don't want to pay for MAX to run them
- You want QuickBooks sync and route optimization without moving up a tier
- Your techs should take Tap to Pay without an add-on
- You want 30 days to try it on your own data, not 14

Both handle the basics
Where they really differ
Recurring revenue without the top plan
Housecall Pro lists Recurring Service Plans on MAX only, so a shop selling maintenance agreements has to buy its biggest plan. FieldCommerce runs monthly, quarterly, and annual contracts on every plan, creating the visits and invoices for you.
The basics aren't upgrades
QuickBooks Online sync starts on Essentials, and one-click route optimization and a dedicated onboarding specialist are MAX-only. On FieldCommerce they come with every plan, including free data import.
Add-ons that stack up
Housecall Pro sells Tap to Pay, CSR AI, Voice, Campaigns, websites, and vehicle GPS as add-ons, mostly without published prices. FieldCommerce includes Tap to Pay with no extra hardware and no add-on fees, and AI Booking with no lead fees.
More time to decide
Housecall Pro's free trial runs 14 days. FieldCommerce gives you 30 days and a real person to import your customers, so you can run a full billing cycle before you decide.
