The short version
- Housecall Pro doesn't supply leads. Its Job Inbox gathers leads from Thumbtack, Angi, Google, Yelp and others, each needing your own account there. Homeowners post jobs on Jobiteer directly.
- Housecall Pro plans run $59 to $299 a month billed yearly, or $79 to $329 month to month. Jobiteer's tools come with a free account.
- Basic includes 1 user, Essentials 5 and Max 8, with more users at $35 a month on Max. Jobiteer team accounts are included.
- Estimates, invoices, a price book, scheduling, dashboards and in-app chat are part of every Jobiteer account.
- With the Jobi plan, every chat shows where the homeowner stands: their stage, their mood, what matters most to them and your best next move.
Get your customers and your core tools from one place, with nothing to pay until you choose a lead.

Where your next customer comes from
Housecall Pro is built to run the jobs you have. For new customers, its Job Inbox connects to outside lead sources (Thumbtack, Angi Leads, Google Local Services Ads, Yelp and Google Bookings), and each one requires your own account on that platform. Housecall Pro even shows what you paid each of them for a lead.
Jobiteer cuts out the middle step. Homeowners post their jobs on Jobiteer, with the trade, the exact item, photos and often a budget. You choose which jobs to unlock, see the exact cost before you spend anything, and get your credits back if a homeowner never replies to you.
What it costs to run your jobs
Housecall Pro has three plans. Basic is $59 a month billed yearly ($79 monthly) for one user. Essentials is $149 a month yearly ($189 monthly) for five users. Max is $299 yearly ($329 monthly) for eight users, plus $35 a month for each additional user. Subscriptions renew automatically, and its terms say fees aren't prorated or refunded.
Jobiteer has no plans to choose between. Every account, including every person on your team, gets:
- Estimates and itemized invoices with tax, from your own price book
- Working hours, days off and a schedule that bookings respect
- In-app chat with every customer, with photos
- "On my way" and a verified "I've arrived" for every visit
- Dashboards and team accounts with job hand-offs
You only pay when you unlock a lead, and free credits refresh every month.
See which leads actually pay
When leads and jobs live in the same app, your numbers line up on their own. Jobiteer's dashboard follows every lead from the credits you spent to the estimate, the hire, the invoice and the payment, so you can see your real return on each one.
Answer homeowners around the clock
Housecall Pro includes an AI team in every plan, with 24/7 CSR AI call answering sold separately. Jobi, Jobiteer's optional AI assistant, has one published monthly price. It covers your chats when you're busy or off the clock, answers from your profile and price book, offers open times from your real calendar (and confirms bookings once you're hired, if you like), follows up when a homeowner goes quiet, and can even find and unlock new jobs that match your rules, starting in a practice mode that spends nothing.
Know where every customer stands
Housecall Pro's CSR AI summarizes each call, with the customer's details and how urgent it is, and its dashboard shows your top call reasons. Jobi reads the customer in every chat: how close they are to hiring, how they feel, what matters to them, and what to say next.
At the top of every chat, Jobi gives you its read on the homeowner:
- Stage: just looking, comparing options, ready to book, booked, or done. Booked and done come from the real booking, not a guess
- Mood, with the homeowner's own words that show it
- What matters most: price, speed, quality, trust, convenience or communication
- Your next move: one honest, specific suggestion for your next message
It refreshes a minute or so after the homeowner writes, in every chat, including the ones you're answering yourself. Jobi's own replies follow it too: calm and reassuring with someone stressed, leading with price for someone comparing quotes. Only you ever see it.
Getting started takes about 10 minutes
- Create your free account. Choose "I'm a contractor" when you sign up. No card needed.
- Add your trades and service areas. Plus your insurance, bonding and warranty badges, so homeowners see them up front.
- Save a search for the jobs you want. You'll get an alert the moment a matching job is posted near you.
- Keep Housecall Pro if you like. Nothing stops you from using both while you see where your best jobs come from. Your Jobiteer dashboard shows exactly what each lead earned.
Questions people ask
What does Jobi tell me about a customer?

Only you see it, and it never labels who someone is, only how the conversation reads.
