Head-to-head
Housecall Pro vs FieldEdge
FieldEdge is built specifically for residential HVAC and plumbing contractors, a market Housecall Pro also serves well, and both bring a full flat-rate pricebook and service-agreement (membership) support. The difference is feel and focus: Housecall Pro is a modern, self-serve all-in-one with public pricing and built-in payments, while FieldEdge is a long-standing, QuickBooks-centric platform sold by quote.
Housecall Pro is the higher-rated of the two and adds native Stripe and Zapier plus one of the best technician apps in the category, from $59 per user/mo with a free trial. FieldEdge counters with an especially deep two-way QuickBooks integration and mature dispatching, but it's custom-quoted with no self-serve trial and no native Stripe or Zapier. Below they're side by side, with pricing and features from our database and our ratings and verdicts written by our team.

FAQ
Housecall Pro vs FieldEdge — questions
Is Housecall Pro or FieldEdge cheaper?
Housecall Pro publishes pricing from $59 per user/mo with a free trial. FieldEdge is custom-quoted with no public price (reported roughly $100-$125 per user/mo), so you'll need a quote to compare your real numbers. Housecall Pro is the faster, self-serve start.
Do both support a flat-rate pricebook and service agreements?
Yes. Both Housecall Pro and FieldEdge offer a full flat-rate pricebook and full service-agreement (membership) support, so this isn't the deciding factor — payments, pricing model and how central QuickBooks is usually are.
Which has the better QuickBooks integration?
Both integrate natively with QuickBooks, but FieldEdge is specifically known for an especially deep, two-way QuickBooks sync, which is its biggest draw. Housecall Pro also connects to QuickBooks, plus Stripe and Zapier that FieldEdge does not offer.
Can I take card payments with each?
Housecall Pro integrates natively with Stripe, so you can take cards in the field out of the box. FieldEdge does not integrate with Stripe in our data, so confirm payment processing options directly with them.
Which offers a free trial?
Housecall Pro offers a free trial; FieldEdge does not — it's sold through a demo and sales process. Neither has a permanently free plan (Workiz is the only tool we cover with one).
