What does JobsiteHQ do differently from Housecall Pro?

It writes the punch list from what you say on the walkthrough, and keeps the whole job in one place.

You talk, it writes the punch list
Start a recording, walk the job and say what you see. JobsiteHQ turns it into an itemised punch list, sorted by area, for you to check over.
The client sees the job, not just a price
Send a tidy summary of what you found, with your photos, by text or as a PDF - then the estimate, then the invoice, all from the same job.
One price, no tiers
Everything is in the one plan: punch lists, summaries, estimates, invoices, card payments, photos, receipts and documents. Card payments go to your own Stripe account at Stripe's rates; JobsiteHQ takes nothing from them.
Works with no signal
Basements and new builds are where the walkthroughs happen. Everything saves on the phone and syncs when you have bars again.

Housecall Pro may suit you better if

  • You dispatch technicians and need scheduling and dispatching built in.
  • You want customers to book and pay online from Google or your website.
  • You're growing past a handful of people and want plans sized for a team.

JobsiteHQ fits if

  • You walk the job yourself and want the punch list written from what you say.
  • You want to send clients a summary with photos before you send a price.
  • You want one low price with everything in it.

How does a job run in JobsiteHQ?

From one phone, in the order the work happens.

  1. Open the job and start a recording. Walk the site and say what you see, room by room.
  2. JobsiteHQ writes the punch list, sorted by area. You check it and fix anything it misheard.
  3. Send the client a summary with your photos, as a text or a PDF. They don't need an account.
  4. Price the list into an estimate. When the client approves it, turn it into an invoice.
  5. The client pays by card from the invoice link, and the money goes to your bank.

On a $1,200 invoice paid by card, Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢ comes to $35.10. You get $1,164.90. JobsiteHQ adds nothing to the fee.

Questions

Does JobsiteHQ do online booking?
No. Clients get your summary, estimate and invoice as links they open on their phone, and you book the visit yourself in the job. If customers booking themselves online matters to you, Housecall Pro's Basic plan lists it.
Do my clients need an account?
No. Summaries, estimates and invoices open as an ordinary web page from the link you send. They tap to approve or to pay.
Is there a long contract?
No. JobsiteHQ is $24.99 month to month, or $199 for a year up front. The trial is 14 days with no card.
