From Housecall Pro pricing, checked October 8, 2026. A cell names the lowest plan that lists the feature; "Not listed" means we did not see it, so ask. Part of Housecall Pro's pricing page fills in by script and it was running first-month offers when we checked. The plan prices below are the regular ones its plan cards show. Prices are per month in US dollars and change often, so check the page before you buy.

Where Koira does it differently for pool service companies
Customer page or portal. On Housecall Pro: not on its plan table. Each stop is marked done and shows on the customer's own page, on every plan.
Day-before reminders. On Housecall Pro: not on its plan table. Koira sends the day-before reminder and an on-my-way text.
Paid on the spot. On Housecall Pro: Tap to Pay, listed as a separate product. Repairs are paid by QR code at the pad, card or phone wallet.
Worked example: weekly service on a larger pool with a spa
Weekly service on a larger pool with a spa, 45 minutes a stop, on the free maintenance plan pricing calculator, comes to $2,400 a year ($200.00 a month, 52 visits).
| Step | The math |
|---|---|
| Labor per visit | (0.75 on site + 0.25 driving) × $22.00 = $22.00 |
| Cost per visit | $22.00 + $8.00 parts = $30.00 |
| Repair discount | 0% off $0 of repairs = $0.00 |
| Cost per member a year | 52 × $30.00 + $0.00 = $1,560.00 |
| Price | $1,560.00 ÷ (1 − 15% overhead − 20% profit) = $2,400.00, quoted as $2,400 |
| Members one tech can serve | 1,500 hrs ÷ 52 hrs per member = 28 |
At $2,400 a member a year, it takes about 2 plan members to pay for a year of Housecall Pro Max ($3,588). Koira Front Office ($5,988 a year) takes about 3.
