Frequently Asked Questions
Does Housecall Pro charge for payment processing separately?
Payment processing is built into invoicing, but it carries its own per-transaction processing fee on top of the subscription, standard practice across the field service software industry.
Can Housecall Pro send automatic appointment reminders?
Yes, automated appointment reminders are part of the built-in marketing suite, alongside email campaigns and postcard automation.
Does Housecall Pro work for a multi-location business?
Higher-volume and multi-location needs typically move past the published plans into a custom quote rather than staying on a standard tier.
Is Housecall Pro's mobile app good for Android users?
iOS app reviews have generally run stronger than Android for this platform. Worth checking current app store ratings directly if your crew is Android-heavy.
