Housecall Pro pricing in 2026: plans, add-ons and what a cleaning business really pays

Basic ($79/mo, or $59/mo billed annually) is for one person. It includes online booking from Google or your website, scheduling and dispatch, estimates and invoices, card payments and consumer financing, a price book, job costing and review management.

Essentials ($189/mo, or $149/mo billed annually) includes 5 users and is the plan Housecall Pro recommends for teams. It adds routes, flat-rate pricing, checklist automations, photo reports with annotations, employee GPS tracking from each phone, commissions and QuickBooks Online sync.

Max ($329/mo, or $299/mo billed annually) includes 8 users, with $35/mo for each extra user. It adds a sales proposal tool (which Housecall Pro values at $40/mo), recurring service plans for maintenance agreements, one-click route optimization, open API access and Zapier, a dedicated onboarding specialist and escalated phone support.

Every plan lists live phone and chat support, the iOS and Android app in English and Spanish, offline viewing, business and consumer financing, and “AI team members to automate your work”.

Extra users. Max lists $35/mo for each user over 8. The pricing page does not list a price for adding users to Basic or Essentials; its FAQ only says extra users are optional. Ask for that price in writing before you sign if your team will grow past 1 or 5 people.

Add-ons. The pricing page lists CSR AI (AI that answers calls and chats), Pipeline, Payroll, Accounting, Business Coaching, Voice, Campaigns, vehicle GPS and dashcams, Tap to Pay and Websites. None of them shows a price on the page. The help center adds that Tap to Pay costs $5/mo per active device on top of card fees.

Card processing. Housecall Pro’s help center lists 2.59% for cards tapped, swiped or chipped in person, 2.99% when the client pays online from an invoice, and 3.49% when a card is keyed in, scanned or charged from a card on file. American Express and commercial cards are 3.49%, PayPal and Venmo 2.99%, bank payments 1%, and instant payouts add 1%. No fixed per-transaction fee is listed.

For a cleaning business the card-on-file rate matters most, because many owners save a client’s card and charge it after each clean. On $8,000 a month charged that way, 3.49% is $279.20 a month in processing fees.

Assumptions: everyone who uses the app counts as a user, including the owner; no add-ons; prices from the pricing page on October 5, 2026, before sales tax and card fees.

1 person (owner-operator): Basic is $79/mo, or $79 × 12 = $948 a year month to month. Billed annually it is $59 × 12 = $708 a year. Basic does not list checklists; if you want them, Essentials is $189/mo.

5 people (owner plus 4 cleaners): Essentials includes exactly 5 users, so it is $189/mo, or $189 × 12 = $2,268 a year. Billed annually it is $149 × 12 = $1,788 a year. Hiring a sixth person means an extra-user fee the pricing page does not list, or moving to Max.

10 people (owner plus 9 cleaners): Max includes 8 users, so you pay for 2 more: $329 + (2 × $35) = $399/mo, or $399 × 12 = $4,788 a year. Billed annually it is $299 + $70 = $369/mo, or $4,428 a year. Staying on Essentials with 5 extra users is possible, but its extra-user price is not published.

It is worth it when you use what you pay for. Housecall Pro is built for many home-service trades, and much of the plan price goes to tools that matter most to them: price books, flat-rate pricing, sales proposals, consumer financing and maintenance agreements. If you also do carpet cleaning, window cleaning or handyman work, or you quote most jobs, that breadth is useful.

If you clean homes on a weekly, every-two-weeks or monthly schedule, look closely at three things before you pay: checklists start on Essentials ($189/mo), the price jumps when you pass 5 or 8 users, and charging cards on file costs 3.49% each time. Run a real week of recurring cleans through the 14-day trial and add up what you would pay at the team size you expect next year.

BroomBook costs $29/mo for up to 2 cleaners (Solo) or $59/mo for unlimited cleaners (Team), with no per-cleaner fee and AI included. At the same three team sizes, month to month:

1 person: BroomBook Solo $29/mo vs Housecall Pro Basic $79/mo, a difference of $50/mo or $600 a year. 5 people: BroomBook Team $59/mo vs Essentials $189/mo, a difference of $130/mo or $1,560 a year. 10 people: BroomBook Team $59/mo vs Max with 2 extra users at $399/mo, a difference of $340/mo or $4,080 a year.

On card payments, BroomBook charges cards through Stripe: you pay Stripe’s processing fee and BroomBook takes no cut. BroomBook is built only for residential cleaning, so it does not do quotes for other trades, QuickBooks sync, invoices with net terms or a native app-store app. If you need those, Housecall Pro covers them and we do not.

Housecall Pro is a capable all-in-one platform, and its pricing page is clear about the basics: three plans, the users each includes, and a published extra-user fee on Max. What it does not show is what add-ons and extra users on the lower plans cost, and those are the lines that grow with a cleaning crew.

If your business is residential cleaning, price both at the team you plan to have in a year. BroomBook stays at $59/mo whether you have 3 cleaners or 30. Try it free for 14 days with no credit card, book a test clean on your own booking page, and compare.
