Housecall Pro's entry plan is one user. Add a second tech and you're on Essentials at $149–$189/mo. Pass eight and every seat is another $35. Obravetta Pro is $297/mo for unlimited team members, with the marketing and follow-up layer included rather than waiting on a higher tier.
Obravetta is an all-in-one platform for home service businesses that combines job management with customer acquisition. Plans are $27/mo for 1 user, $97/mo for up to 3, and $297/mo for unlimited users, with a website builder, email and text marketing, automated follow-up, missed-call text back and review automation included at every tier.
Housecall Pro is $59/mo annual or $79/mo month-to-month for one user on Basic, $149/$189 for five users on Essentials, and $299/$329 for eight users on Max, with additional seats at $35/mo. QuickBooks Online sync and employee GPS tracking start on Essentials; the sales proposal tool, route optimization and recurring service plans are Max only.
Housecall Pro is the better pick if you need consumer financing, GPS tracking and route optimization built in. Obravetta is the better pick if your problem is not enough jobs coming in — and if you don't want to be repriced every time you hire.
Published list prices as of October 2026. Housecall Pro shows two prices per tier — billed annually and month-to-month. Both are listed below, month-to-month first.
| Seats | Obravetta | Housecall Pro |
|---|---|---|
| 1 user | $27 ($22.50) | Basic $79 ($59) |

| 5 users | $297 ($247.50) | Essentials $189 ($149) |
| 8 users | $297 ($247.50) | Max $329 ($299) |
| 15 users | $297 ($247.50) | Max + 7 seats = $574 ($544) |
| Each seat past the cap | $0 on Pro | $35/mo on Max |
| Email & text marketing campaigns | Included, all plans | Not a core feature |
| Website builder | Included — built for you on Growth & Pro | Separate product |
| QuickBooks Online sync | Via integration, all plans | Essentials and up |
| Card processing | Stripe rates | From 2.59% |
| Free trial | 14 days | 14 days, full Max access |
Obravetta annual billing charges for ten months instead of twelve; the parenthetical is that annual total divided by twelve. Housecall Pro figures are from Housecall Pro's published pricing page, which also shows introductory offers — $26 for the first month on Basic and Essentials, and $99/mo for three months on Max — after which the standard rate applies. Both companies change pricing; verify current rates on each company's own site before you buy.
Two things in Housecall Pro's structure catch people out, and neither is hidden — they're just easy to miss when you're comparing headline prices.
Housecall Pro Basic is a single-user plan, and it doesn't include QuickBooks Online sync or employee GPS tracking. The moment you hire a second tech or want your books to reconcile automatically, you're on Essentials. That's $189/mo month-to-month, up from $79 — a 139% jump driven by hiring one person.
Obravetta Starter is also one seat at $27/mo, but Growth covers three at $97/mo, and Pro covers everyone at $297/mo. The step up is smaller and it stops.
Route optimization, the sales proposal tool and recurring service plans are Max-only. For an HVAC or pest control shop, recurring service plans are often the single feature that justified buying software in the first place — and that's the $299–$329 tier.
Past eight users, Max adds $35/mo per seat. A twelve-person crew on Max is $469/mo month-to-month. Obravetta Pro is $297/mo at twelve users, or at fifty.
Both platforms quote, schedule, dispatch, invoice and take a card. They're built around different moments in the job.
Housecall Pro is field service management, and it's good at it — dispatch, price book, job costing, consumer financing at the point of sale, GPS on your techs, optimized routes. The workflow assumes the customer already found you and already picked you.
Lead generation, follow-up campaigns and a website sit outside that core or in separate products.
Obravetta covers the same job management ground, then adds the acquisition layer underneath it as standard.
Including the rows where Housecall Pro wins. A comparison that only flatters us isn't worth reading.

| Quotes & estimates | Yes, all plans | Yes, all plans |
| Invoicing & online payments | Yes, all plans | Yes, all plans |
| Scheduling & dispatch | Yes, all plans | Yes, all plans |
| Online booking | Yes, all plans | Yes, all plans |

| Consumer financing at point of sale | No | Yes, all plans |

Pull customers, job history and open invoices out of Housecall Pro as CSV. Everything in your account is yours to export.
We import customers and contacts, rebuild your pipeline stages, and set up your calendar and booking links. On Pro, we do the whole build for you.
Keep Housecall Pro live while you learn ours. Your trial is 14 days and neither platform requires a contract, so overlapping costs you one month at worst.
Two things to plan for: finish collecting open invoices in Housecall Pro rather than migrating them mid-cycle, and if you use consumer financing, confirm your financing partner's own portal still works before you cancel — that integration is Housecall Pro's, not yours.
At one and three users, clearly: $27/mo and $97/mo against Housecall Pro Basic at $79/mo month-to-month and Essentials at $189/mo. At exactly five users on annual billing, Housecall Pro Essentials at $149/mo is cheaper than Obravetta Pro at $247.50/mo, and we'll say so plainly. Past eight users it flips back, because Housecall Pro adds $35/mo per seat on Max while Obravetta Pro is flat — a twelve-person crew is $469/mo on Max month-to-month versus $297/mo on Pro.
One. Basic is a single-user plan, and it also excludes QuickBooks Online sync and employee GPS tracking. Essentials is the five-user tier at $149/mo annual or $189/mo month-to-month, and Max covers eight users at $299/$329 with additional seats at $35/mo.
Per Housecall Pro's published pricing page: QuickBooks Online sync, employee GPS tracking, flat-rate pricing, checklist automations, photo reports and commissions all start on Essentials. The sales proposal tool, recurring service plans, route optimization and open API access are Max only.
No, and we'd rather be straight about it. Quoting, invoicing, payments, scheduling, dispatch, online booking, review management and customer management are comparable. Housecall Pro is stronger on consumer financing, employee GPS tracking, route optimization, flat-rate price book, native recurring service plans, photo reports and technician commissions. Obravetta is stronger on lead capture, missed-call text back, automated follow-up, email and text marketing, a website built for you, multi-channel inbox and AI answering — all included rather than sold separately.
Housecall Pro's pricing page shows introductory offers — $26 for the first month on Basic and Essentials, and $99/mo for three months on Max — after which the standard rate applies. It's a real discount, it's just worth doing the math on month four rather than month one. Obravetta's prices are the same in month one and month forty.
Customers and contacts import from a CSV export, usually the same afternoon. Automations and pipeline stages have to be rebuilt because they don't transfer between platforms — on Contractor Pro we build those for you as part of setup. Most businesses run both in parallel for a couple of weeks. Neither platform requires a contract, so an overlap costs one extra month at most.
Yes — the 14-day free trial starts from a checkout page, so a card is collected up front and you aren't billed until day 15. You can cancel inside the trial at any point and you won't be charged.
Fourteen days is long enough to see whether the follow-up automation books jobs you were losing. Keep Housecall Pro running while you find out.
