Why crews switch from Housecall Pro
Core features on every plan

Flat price, bigger seat caps
Up to 10 people on JobBadger's entry plan, versus 1 on Housecall Basic and 5 on Essentials, and extra seats never add to your bill.
No cut of your payments
Take card payments through Stripe and the money goes straight to your bank, JobBadger takes no cut and adds no markup. You pay only Stripe's standard processing fee, the same as any card reader.
Built to work offline
Native iOS and Android with GPS clock-in and photo proof that keep working when the jobsite has no signal, then sync once you're back online.
