Housecall Pro is $299 and $799 on Essentials. Crew prices and the features that differ, Nov 2026. [Team Dispatch Math](https://dispatchmath.com/authors/research) Published 10 Nov 2026 Updated 11 Nov 2026 Checked 14 Nov 2026 [How we check](https://dispatchmath.com/methodology) 4 min read [Editorial policy](https://dispatchmath.com/editorial-policy) ![Jobber vs Housecall Pro.](https://dispatchmath.com/img/1024/heroes/jobber-vs-housecall-pro/fd483dfd4cb0/list-16x9-800.webp) **Short answer:** For a crew of five or ten, Jobber costs less in our November 2026 study. Five users pay $199 a month on Jobber’s Connect plan against $299 on Housecall Pro’s Essentials plan, and ten users pay $299 against $799. Housecall Pro is the one to look at if you want to see your technicians’ locations from their phones without fitting tracking hardware. Prices from our [field service software cost study, November 2026](https://dispatchmath.com/data/field-service-software-cost) and each vendor’s own pages, with the date each was read. We compare on one method: the monthly cost for 5 and then 10 users, billed monthly. We read the vendors’ pages; we did not test either product, so there is no overall winner here. Page updated 10 November 2026. In this article - [Jobber](https://dispatchmath.com/jobber) Plans sized by team for home service crews, with a client hub, routing and an add-on AI receptionist. - [Housecall Pro](https://dispatchmath.com/housecall-pro) Home-service operations software with public crew plans, mobile tools, and built-in AI workers. ## The verdict, by crew - **Five people:** [Jobber](https://dispatchmath.com/jobber) is $199 a month on Connect with 5 users. [Housecall Pro](https://dispatchmath.com/housecall-pro) is $299 a month on Essentials, as its Teams view prices it. - **Ten people:** Jobber is $299 a month on its 10-user Connect bundle. Housecall Pro is $799 a month on Essentials. - **One person:** compare the starting prices instead. Jobber advertises $49 a month and Housecall Pro $79. ## Sticker price against crew price Both tools advertise a low starting price. A crew pays more. Table 1 What a crew pays a month, read 7 November 2026 | | Jobber | Housecall Pro | | --- | --- | --- | | Advertised price | $49 a month | $79 a month | | 5 users a month | $199 (Connect, 5 users) | $299 (Essentials, Teams view) | | 10 users a month | $299 (Connect, 10 users) | $799 (Essentials, Teams view) | | Prices read | 7 Nov 2026 | 7 Nov 2026 | dispatchmath.com [How we check](https://dispatchmath.com/methodology) Across the whole study, 24 of 30 priced tools cost more for five users than their advertised price. The median crew cost was $231 a month for 5 users and $339 for 10, so Jobber sits below the median at both sizes and Housecall Pro above it. Housecall Pro’s pricing page shows its plans in more than one view. On the Teams view, Essentials includes 5 users and Max includes 8, with a monthly price for each user past those. Ask Housecall Pro which plan applies to your crew before you sign. ## Where they differ Both schedule jobs on a shared calendar, give technicians an iOS and Android app, send quotes and invoices, and take card payments.
