Housecall Pro

Field service software
Housecall Pro covers the customer-facing side of a home-services business well. What it does not do is tell you which forms Marion County wants for a furnace changeout, or produce them filled out.
RapidPermit sits behind that: the compliance paperwork, generated from your shop profile and the job's jurisdiction.
Side by side
| RapidPermit Systems | Housecall Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Permit applications | Yes, jurisdiction-specific | No |
| OSHA compliance forms | Yes | No |
| Online booking and dispatch | No | Yes |

| Pricing | $49 – $299 / month, flat, per company | $59 – $329 / month, tiered |
When Housecall Pro is the better call
HVAC and plumbing shops that want dispatch, online booking and marketing automation in one subscription.
Bottom line
Housecall Pro wins the job. RapidPermit makes sure the job is legal to start.
