The Housecall Pro Alternative That Starts Free
Housecall Pro is a capable platform, but it has no free plan and its $59/month entry covers a single user. FieldSpoke gives small teams the essentials — starting free, then $24/month.
One flat price, no matter how your crew grows
$89/mo covers unlimited users — or $49/mo for up to 15. One flat price, no matter how big your crew gets.
Basic covers a single user and can't add seats, so a 2-3 person crew jumps to the ~$149/mo Essentials plan — and climbs from there.
FieldSpoke fits up to 15 users on one $49/mo plan — no per-seat jump as you add people.
