What you get when you switch

The things former Housecall Pro users tell us they're glad to leave behind.

💰 Flat per-user pricing

$9 per user, every month, every feature included. No "Essentials, Plus, Max" tiers. No locked features behind a higher plan. Add a tech, pay $9 more. That's the math.

  • Same features at every tier — because there are no tiers
  • No annual contract required
  • No surprise renewal price hikes

🔧 Tool & equipment inventory built in

Housecall Pro doesn't track your tools. WorkForceFSM does. Know where every press tool, camera scope, and meter is — assigned to which truck or which tech.

  • Inventory per tech, per truck, or in storage
  • Condition tracking (good, needs service, retired)
  • History trail: who had it, when, on which job

From people who switched from Housecall Pro

Quotes from contractors after making the move.

★★★★★

"Housecall Pro was great until they kept raising the price. We ran the numbers — WorkForceFSM saves us $4,200/year for our 6-tech shop. Same workflow, less drama."

JF
Jared F.Owner · Foothills Pest Control · Knoxville, TN
★★★★★

"I never used 60% of what HCP charged me for. WorkForceFSM only has what I'd actually use, so I'm not paying for ghost features."

AM
Andre M.Owner · Cityline Appliance Repair · Newark, NJ
★★★★★

"Migration was smooth — exported customers from HCP as a CSV, imported into WorkForceFSM in under an hour. My team adapted in a day."

KP
Kara P.Operations · GreenLeaf Lawn Services · Charlotte, NC
★★★★★

"Tool inventory was the deciding factor. We lose less gear, we know exactly what's on each truck, and audits are 10 minutes instead of half a day."
