Why teams leave Housecall Pro
The pain you already know
Locked into their payment processor
Housecall Pro forces you through HCP Payments at 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction. No alternative processors allowed. STEADYWRK lets you use any payment method and pays contractors via 300+ rails through Dots.
Zero AI — just basic scheduling
Housecall Pro offers manual drag-and-drop scheduling with no intelligent dispatch, no auto-routing, and no AI quoting. STEADYWRK dispatches with 17 AI providers and generates quotes in 60 seconds.
Closed ecosystem traps your data
HCP has minimal third-party integrations and no public API. Your client data, job history, and financial records live in a walled garden. STEADYWRK provides open APIs and webhook support for any integration.
Per-user pricing scales against you
Every technician, dispatcher, and office admin needs a paid seat at $49-199/month each. A 15-person team pays $735-2,985/month before a single job is dispatched. STEADYWRK charges per dispatch only.
From the field
What FM operators say
“Housecall Pro was taking 2.9% of every transaction on top of per-user fees. After switching to STEADYWRK, we kept our existing payment processor and saved thousands in processing fees alone.”
Finance Manager
Regional Plumbing Company
“The AI dispatch alone justified the switch. We went from manually scheduling 80 jobs a day to fully automated routing. Our dispatchers now handle exceptions instead of every single assignment.”

Frequently asked questions
STEADYWRK replaces the dispatch, scheduling, and payment functions of Housecall Pro with AI-native automation. If you use HCP primarily for dispatching technicians and collecting payments, STEADYWRK handles that faster and cheaper without locking you into a single payment processor.
With Housecall Pro, you are locked into their built-in payment processing at 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction. STEADYWRK pays contractors through Dots with 300+ payment rails and does not force you into a specific processor for customer-facing payments.
We provide a guided migration flow that imports your client list, contractor roster, and open work orders. Most teams are fully operational on STEADYWRK within a single business day. Our team handles the heavy lifting so you can keep dispatching without downtime.
Per-user pricing punishes growth. Every new hire increases your software bill regardless of how many jobs they run. Per-dispatch pricing means you only pay when value is delivered. Slow months cost less. Growth months scale proportionally.
Yes. STEADYWRK supports commercial facility management, residential service, and mixed portfolios. Our AI dispatch engine handles trade-specific routing, SLA tracking, and multi-site operations out of the box.
Review management, marketing automation, and CRM are features you can connect via best-of-breed integrations through our open API. Instead of paying for a monolithic platform, you pick the tools that actually work for your business and connect them directly.
