What the prices do not tell you

Housecall Pro: Extra seats are the real cost driver: a five-person crew on Essentials is a different number from the headline. Card processing is charged separately. The Sales proposal tool is included in Max, listed as a $40/mo value; other plans can add it through a Success Advisor at a price the vendor does not publish. The 'How many users? Teams / Individual' toggle on the page is unfinished and shows $XX.
Markate: The base plan is deliberately thin. Online booking, the customer portal, proposals, Zapier and a texting number are $10 a month each, so price the add-ons you actually need before comparing. Every employee past the owner is $5 a month on top. Plan prices re-read in Chrome on 2026-09-29 on both toggles and unchanged. The page's HTML also carries a feature list with the $10 add-ons and per use marketing charges (an SMS blast at a $10 setup fee plus 5 cents a segment, ringless voicemail at $10 plus 20 cents each, drip texts at 10 cents), but that section did not render in Chrome that day, so those charges are not recorded as fees. No card rate is published: payments run through Square.
