The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Housecall Pro card processing fees start at 2.59%; Joblogic the published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Housecall Pro

  • Card processing fees start at 2.59%
  • Additional users in Essentials cost $100 per month; in MAX plan $75 per month
  • Bank payment fee of 1% charged

Joblogic

  • The published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.
  • Users are counted as office staff, engineers and managers alike, so a business with many part-time or seasonal engineers pays full seats for people who log a handful of jobs a month.
  • The entry price is billed annually, so there is no low-commitment monthly option to trial the product properly at scale.
  • Compliance certificates, terminology and accounting integrations are written for the UK and Ireland, which makes the product a poor fit outside those markets despite being sold internationally.
  • The mobile app carries a lot of configurable form logic, and engineers on older devices report slow loading and sync on jobs with large certificate sets, which costs time on site.
