The fundamental difference

Ten Four vs Housecall Pro: software you operate vs an assistant that runs for you

Housecall Pro is a feature-rich field-service platform built around a dashboard you log into. Ten Four is built for the contractor who would rather be on the job. Housecall Pro gives you tools to run your office; Ten Four's AI assistant runs it for you — answering calls and texts, booking jobs, drafting invoices — and you approve what matters from the app.

What you actually get for the money

Ten Four starts free and includes the whole front office: a dedicated business number, AI answering on calls and texts, job booking with calendar sync, invoice drafting with owner approval, and Stripe payments. Unlimited answering is $99/month on the Expert tier. With Housecall Pro, live call answering requires HCP Voice ($45–65/mo) on top of a plan, and two-way texting and reminders sit on Essentials and up (from $149/mo). Housecall Pro's Basic plan is a single user; Essentials adds up to 5 seats.

The real cost

To match what Ten Four does, a Housecall Pro setup stacks Essentials ($149) plus HCP Voice ($65) for about $214/month. Ten Four's unlimited Expert tier is $99/month — about $115 saved every month, or $1,380 a year — and you can start free.

Switching from Housecall Pro

I already use Housecall Pro. Why would I switch?

If Housecall Pro is working for you and someone in your shop has time to run the dashboard, stay put. People come to Ten Four when the dashboard keeps piling up tasks — quotes to write, invoices to send, customer texts to chase — and they would rather be on the job.

Can I use Ten Four alongside Housecall Pro?

Yes. Some operators keep Housecall Pro for job records and dispatch and use Ten Four as their customer-facing line. We send you summaries you can paste back into HCP.

Can I bring my Housecall Pro customer list with me?

Yes. Export your contacts from HCP and we import them on your behalf during onboarding.
