Krewbill vs Housecall Pro

A Housecall Pro alternative built for HVAC contractors

If your HVAC business just needs to quote installs and repairs, get client approval, and invoice — without paying Housecall Pro's per-seat fee once your crew grows past a handful of techs — Krewbill is worth a look.

Housecall Pro is built for HVAC crews that want dispatch, inventory tracking, and marketing tools in one platform. If your team genuinely needs that, Housecall Pro may be the better fit. If you mainly need to quote installs and repairs and invoice without a per-seat bill, Krewbill does that one job well.

What an 8-tech HVAC crew actually pays

Housecall Pro's Essentials plan is $149/mo (annual billing) and covers up to 5 users. An 8-person crew — you plus 7 techs — needs 3 extra seats at $100/mo each: $149 + 3 × $100 = $449/mo. Need the top-tier Max plan for GPS tracking and advanced reporting, and the base jumps to $299/mo before extra seats at $75/mo each. Krewbill is free during our launch period, no credit card required. When we do introduce pricing, it will be one flat rate for your whole team — never per user — no per-seat cliff to plan around as you add techs for a busy season.

Questions about switching from Housecall Pro

Is Krewbill really free?+

Yes — free during our launch period, no credit card required. When we do introduce pricing, it will be one flat rate for your whole team — never per user — and current users get advance notice before anything changes.

Can Krewbill handle a full system install quote, not just a repair?+

Yes. The line-item builder supports labor, materials, and flat fees separately, so an install quote with unit cost, labor, and permit fees looks as clear as a quick repair quote.

What happens to my price as I add techs for a busy season?+

Nothing. Krewbill doesn't charge per teammate, so there's no seat-count cliff to worry about. Housecall Pro's Essentials plan covers up to 5 users, but the 6th tech costs an extra $100/mo — with Krewbill, adding people never changes your bill.

Does Krewbill include dispatch and inventory tracking like Housecall Pro?+

No, and that's intentional. Krewbill is just quoting and invoicing. If your crew needs a dispatch board or parts/inventory tracking, Housecall Pro is built for that and Krewbill isn't trying to replace it.

Built for crews who'd rather be working than managing software.
