A Housecall Pro alternative for solo contractors
A Housecall Pro alternative is worth a look if you work alone and $59 a month feels like a lot for what you use. Knockround does estimates, jobs, invoices and card payments for $24.99 a month, with no contract and 7 days free.
Housecall Pro and Knockround: what one person pays
| Plan | Price | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Knockround | $24.99 a month | Estimates, jobs, customers, invoices, card payments. 7 days free with no credit card. |
| Housecall Pro Basic | $59 a month | One user, billed yearly. |
Housecall Pro advertises card rates as low as 2.59%. Knockround adds nothing to Stripe's fee of 2.9% + 30¢ for a US card, so on small tickets, work out which saves you more with the card fee calculator.
Why owner-operators look for a Housecall Pro alternative
Housecall Pro does a lot, and its plans are priced for businesses using a lot of it. If your week is you, a van and a list of customers, you may be paying for tools you never open.
Knockround keeps to the work one person does: send the price, book the job, bill it from the driveway and see who still owes you.
What you get with Knockround
- Estimates your customer accepts with a tap, which books the job
- A jobs board from new request to paid, and a Today screen with your next job
- Invoices your customer pays by credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay on their own phone, with no card reader
- One list of who owes you, with the reminder written for you
- Your logo on every invoice, estimate and receipt
- Repeat work that comes due by itself, and Google review requests after they've paid
When Housecall Pro is the better choice
If you have technicians to dispatch, want a card reader in the field, or need a lower card rate on high volume, Housecall Pro has more of that. Knockround has no team accounts, and it takes cards through a payment link or QR code on the customer's phone, with no card reader.
