Why contractors look past Houzz Pro
Houzz Pro is strong on design: 3D floor plans, selections, mood boards and a product clipper, with estimates and invoices from the free plan up. Design is $99 a month and Pro is $199, each with one seat, and each added user is $50 a month. Teams starts at $399 with unlimited users, and the advertising package is separate, from $499 a month.
Its FAQ says the subscription after the 30 day trial is yearly. A trade contractor who does not sell on renderings, or a small crew that does not want a yearly commitment and a per-seat fee, often compares it with tools that bill monthly and price the whole team the same.

When to stay with Houzz Pro
Keep Houzz Pro if your sale depends on 3D plans, selections and renderings, or if Houzz itself sends you leads. Koira does not do 3D design, takeoffs or selections.
Whichever you try, put one real week of jobs through it before you switch. Koira's Office plan is free, so you can run it next to Houzz Pro while you decide.
