What Housecall Pro Users Complain About
These are real complaints from actual Housecall Pro users on review sites and forums.
💸 Hidden Costs Add Up Fast
"Started at $169/mo but ended up paying over $300 with all the add-ons we needed. Marketing automation should be standard, not a $50/month extra."
✓ Crew Ops Pro: Everything included in $89/mo
📱 Clunky Mobile Experience
"The mobile app is slow and crashes frequently. Takes too many taps to do simple things when I'm on a ladder or in the truck."
✓ Crew Ops Pro: Built for field use, fast and intuitive
🔒 Locked Into Per-User Pricing
"Adding team members costs extra every month. Went from $169 to $249 just by hiring 2 people. That's $960/year more for the same features."
✓ Crew Ops Pro: Unlimited users at no extra cost
🎨 Generic, Not Industry-Specific
"Doesn't have specialized features for my pool service business. Had to create workarounds for chemical tracking and maintenance schedules."
✓ Crew Ops Pro: Industry-specific tools built-in
