Sesklo vs Housecall Pro
Sesklo vs Housecall Pro
Housecall Pro is a capable field service app, popular with residential home-services businesses. Sesklo does the same core work — quoting, scheduling, invoicing, payments — and adds what Housecall Pro leaves out: job costing, AI in the plan, and a marketplace that brings you the customers — at one flat price instead of a base plan plus add-ons.
| Sesklo | Housecall Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Brings you customers | Yes — a built-in marketplace of homeowner projects | No — you bring your own leads |
| Quoting, scheduling & invoicing | Yes | Yes |
| Job costing | Included in Pro ($99.99/mo) | Not available — not even as an add-on* |
| Pricing model | Three simple monthly plans. That's it. | Three plans + per-user fees + paid add-ons* |
| Starting price | $49.99/mo (Basic) — the whole plan, included | $59/mo (Basic, annual, 1 user); Essentials $149, Max $299/mo* |
| AI features | AI report insights + voice assistant in Basic; AI receptionist in Pro | Live answering (HCP Assist) is a paid add-on* |
*Housecall Pro pricing from public 2026 breakdowns, as of July 2026: Basic $59/mo, Essentials $149/mo, Max $299/mo (annual billing; monthly is higher), with ~$35/user for extra seats and add-ons billed separately (sales proposals, GPS, flat-rate pricebook, HCP Assist live answering). Housecall Pro does not offer job-costing functionality. Tiers and prices change — check their site for current numbers.
Which should you choose?
Housecall Pro does scheduling, dispatch, and payments well, and residential contractors like its simplicity. Sesklo does those same things and more: it actually does job costing (which Housecall Pro doesn’t), includes AI in your plan instead of as a paid add-on, and brings you the customers — all at one flat price with nothing billed on the side. If you want the full picture of a job’s profit, and the jobs themselves, that’s Sesklo.
