Questions people ask
Is FieldStacker cheaper than Housecall Pro?
To start, yes. FieldStacker Rep is $30/mo ($25/mo billed yearly) and includes a website. Housecall Pro Basic is $79/mo ($59/mo billed yearly), and its website is an add-on at $99 or $149 a month plus a $99 setup fee. For a team, FieldStacker Team Pro is $250/mo with 10 seats; Housecall Pro MAX is $329/mo for 8 users.
Can I keep my website if I leave?
With FieldStacker your website runs on a real hosting account with FTP and SSH access, so you can copy your files any time. Housecall Pro's website page does not mention exporting the site or moving it elsewhere.
Does FieldStacker have online booking like Housecall Pro?
Yes. Customers see your real open times and book on your site, or on any website you already have. Both apps can show a price before the customer books.
Is Housecall Pro better for HVAC and plumbing?
For large HVAC, plumbing and electrical teams that live in dispatch, Housecall Pro is a strong, mature choice with deep scheduling, a price book and financing. FieldStacker is a better fit for businesses that also sell door to door, or want their website, email and marketing in the same app.
Does Housecall Pro have door-to-door tools?
Not that we could find. Housecall Pro tracks technicians by GPS, but has no knock map, territories, door outcomes or homeowner data. FieldStacker includes all of those, with owner names on the map and a team leaderboard.
