Housecall Pro's Basic plan covers one user. Add a second person and you are into Essentials at $189/mo. Jobkeepr adds users at $10/mo each. Here's the full breakdown.

Housecall Pro's Basic plan is $79/mo, and it covers exactly one user — there's no cheaper single-person tier. The moment a second person joins the crew, team features aren't available on Basic at all, so you move to Essentials at $189/mo, which supports up to five users under one flat price.
That means Essentials is flat-rate up to five people: a 2-person crew and a 5-person crew both pay $189/mo. It's a good deal exactly at five, and a poor one below it — a 2-person shop is paying for three unused seats.
Jobkeepr charges per person actually on the crew: $39/mo base, $10/mo each additional. A 2-person crew is $49/mo against Housecall Pro's $189/mo; the gap narrows as headcount climbs toward five, where Jobkeepr is $79/mo against the same $189/mo Essentials price.

Housecall Pro's consumer-facing booking widget, review requests, and payment processing are genuinely best-in-class, built by a team that has spent years on the specific problem of getting homeowners to book and pay online without friction.
If your growth channel depends on that consumer booking experience at volume, or on Housecall Pro's marketing and reputation tools, it's a real investment that Jobkeepr doesn't try to match. The gap on this page is narrower: a small crew paying $189/mo for Essentials mostly to unlock team scheduling and texting.
Yes — annual billing typically saves 15-20% versus month-to-month, which is standard across the category and matches Jobkeepr's own annual discount.
Housecall Pro: $189/mo (Essentials, the only tier with team support). Jobkeepr: $49/mo ($39 + $10). The gap is largest here because Housecall Pro has no small-team tier between Basic (1 user) and Essentials (up to 5).
No — MAX is custom-priced and built for larger operations needing call-center and enterprise integrations. For 1-10 person crews, Essentials is the realistic comparison point, not MAX.
Yes, on both platforms — card processing runs roughly 2.7-3% per transaction on top of the subscription price, separate from the monthly plan cost shown here.
