Where Housecall Pro is the better pick
If you run a fleet and need route optimization, GPS tracking and deep QuickBooks sync, they are further along than we are and you should buy theirs. They are a large company with a long feature list and a big support org.
Where we're the better pick
If you're one to ten people, price work off a walkthrough, and want the estimate out before you leave the driveway, this was built for exactly that. You get sixty days to find out instead of fourteen, and the phone answering and website that cost extra elsewhere come from the same shop.
