Migrate your Housecall Pro data
All-in-one FSM platform for home-service businesses with strong scheduling, invoicing, and payments. Steepens fast once add-ons are factored in.
In its favor
Why people choose Housecall Pro
The signal that keeps Housecall Pro on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Over 200,000 field-service professionals use Housecall Pro, making it the most widely adopted FSM platform for plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and cleaners who need proven, battle-tested workflows at scale.
The platform covers the full field-service lifecycle — lead intake, job scheduling, customer notifications, invoicing, payment collection, and review management — in a single subscription without stitching together multiple tools.
The free mobile app for iOS and Android, available in English and Spanish, gives technicians real-time access to job details, customer property data, and payment collection from the field.
Pros on Basic and Essentials can self-serve customer and job imports from spreadsheets, and MAX-plan users get direct support from the Housecall Pro Data Import team for Customers, Job history, Equipment, and Price Book.
Live phone, chat, and email support across all plans gives small businesses confidence they can get help quickly when field operations hit a snag.
Add-on pricing compounds fast: a user on Essentials paying $189/month needs Sales Proposal ($40/mo), Pipeline ($50/mo), and HCP Voice ($49/mo) — totalling $328/month before card processing fees.
Route-optimization and map-based scheduling that groups jobs geographically is not a native feature; it requires a third-party integration, forcing dispatchers to juggle tools or accept inefficient routing.
Multi-day project management is limited since Housecall Pro was designed around single-day jobs; contractors running home-improvement projects with multi-week timelines outgrow the scheduling model.
Job costing and QuickBooks Online integration each require separate paid upgrades on top of the base plan, creating an add-on trap that inflates the real monthly spend well above the advertised entry price.

Pricing tiers
Housecall Pro pricing overview
Housecall Pro uses a tiered subscription model starting at $59/month for Basic. The real cost escalates quickly because QuickBooks Online ($149/mo), job costing ($299/mo), Sales Proposal ($40/mo), Pipeline ($50/mo), and HCP Voice ($49/mo) are all paid add-ons. MAX plan pricing is custom and required for API access. A typical small business with common add-ons pays $328/month before card processing fees.

What gets migrated
Housecall Pro object support
Object-by-object support for Housecall Pro migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomers is a first-class object with name, email, phone numbers, company, addresses (billing and service), tags, lead source, and notes. Housecall Pro supports importing customers from file or QuickBooks. We migrate customers 1:1, preserving addresses and tags as arrays.
Properties
Fully supportedProperties are tied to a Customer address and serve as the container for Equipment items. The Property Profile app tracks multiple items per address with type, make, model, serial number, and install date. We map each Property and its child Equipment as a structured record.
Jobs
Mapping requiredJobs are the central object linking Customers, Employees, Invoices, Estimates, Checklists, and Equipment. Housecall Pro tracks job status, scheduled date/time, assigned employee, and line items. We map Jobs with all linked child records but flag that multi-day jobs are a known limitation of the source platform.
Estimates
Mapping requiredEstimates (Price Forms) are separate objects linked to a Job and contain line items, descriptions, and pricing. The MAX plan adds a paid Sales Proposal add-on ($40/mo) for more advanced proposal workflows. We preserve Estimate line items and link them to the parent Job during migration.
Job Invoices
Fully supportedInvoices are tied to a Job and include line items, tax codes, payment status, and payment method. The invoice schema includes a custom message field configurable in Company Profile settings. We migrate Invoices with their full payment history and link them to the parent Job.
Employees
Mapping requiredEmployees (technicians) have name, contact info, role, and are assignable to Jobs and Routes. Housecall Pro does not support employee document storage, skills tracking, or day-off management — these do not exist in the source schema to preserve. We migrate the basic Employee profile and Role.
Custom Fields
Not in this platformHousecall Pro explicitly does not support custom fields — not on invoices, customer profiles, jobs, or any object. This includes custom messaging per-record (only a global invoice message template exists). We do not migrate custom fields because none exist in Housecall Pro.
Price Book Services
Mapping requiredPrice Book contains Services and Materials with pricing, units, and categories. Housecall Pro offers a flat-rate Price Book as a $149/mo add-on. We migrate Price Book entries as line-item templates but flag that complex multi-level or matrix pricing may require manual reconstruction at the destination.
Equipment
Fully supportedEquipment items are stored under a Property and include item type, display name, make, model, serial number, install date, and notes. Item type and display name are required fields. We migrate Equipment items with all recorded attributes and link them to the parent Property.
Tags
Mapping requiredTags are free-form string arrays attachable to Customers and Jobs. There is no tag hierarchy or taxonomy. We preserve tags as string arrays and map them to equivalent label/tag objects at the destination CRM.
Checklists
Mapping requiredChecklists attach to Jobs as structured task lists completed by technicians in the field. We preserve checklist items, their completion status, and link them to the parent Job record.
Leads
Mapping requiredLeads is a distinct object separate from Customers, with a Lead Source attribute. We map Leads to the destination CRM's lead or contact object and preserve Lead Source as a property.
Service Zones
Fully supportedService Zones define geographic areas for routing and dispatch. We migrate Service Zone definitions and link them to any associated routing or scheduling configuration.
Routes
Fully supportedRoutes group Jobs for a technician by date and include dispatch information. We preserve Route-to-Job associations and scheduling order.
