Housecall Pro is a serious platform for home-service companies — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and cleaning too. It starts at $79 a month for one user, and the next step up is $189. If you clean houses yourself, you are paying platform prices for a crew you do not have.

We would rather you read this bit than start a trial you were always going to cancel.
You are running a home-services company.
You are the whole business, and it cleans houses.
The entry price, honestly
Housecall Pro Basic is $79 a month for a single user ($59 if you pay the year up front). The plan most of its platform features point at is Essentials, at $189 for five users — and past five, every extra person is $100 a month. None of that is a trick; it is what running crews costs to support. It is just not your business. Ours is $59 flat for a solo cleaner, month to month, reminder texts included.
Unlimited jobs, reminder texts included. Month to month.
One user. $59/mo if billed annually.
Five users. Extra users $100/mo each.
Eight users. Extra users $75/mo each.
Including the rows we lose.

Download your client list from Housecall Pro as a CSV. If your plan will not let you export it, send us whatever you can get — a spreadsheet, a screenshot, a list — and we will sort it out.
Service Puffin reads the column headings and matches them up for you — names, phone numbers, emails, addresses. You check the preview and confirm. Nothing is imported twice.
Add your recurring jobs once and they generate forward on their own. Most solo cleaners have fewer than a dozen. It is an evening, not a project.
Would rather not do it yourself? Email your client list to hello@servicepuffin.com and we will import it for you before your trial starts.
Run both for a week. Import your clients, book a few jobs, send a reminder. Cancel whichever one loses.
