Pricing as of March 2026. Jobkore uses Stripe for payment processing — 2.9% + $0.30 per credit card transaction, 0.8% for ACH (capped at $5). Jobkore adds nothing on top.

What sets Jobkore apart.

$19/mo vs $59/mo to start

Housecall Pro Basic is $59/mo for one user. Jobkore is $19/mo with unlimited estimates, invoices, change orders, AI, and QuickBooks — that's $40/mo saved from day one.

Change orders that Housecall Pro doesn't have

Housecall Pro has no change order workflow at any price. Jobkore includes full change orders — separate approvals, digital signatures, and invoicing — so scope changes are documented and paid for.

AI that organizes your estimates

Describe the job, upload photos or field notes, and Hank AI organizes everything into structured estimate sections and line items. Housecall Pro's AI focuses on automation and customer communication — not estimating.

QuickBooks at $19/mo, not $149/mo

Housecall Pro locks QuickBooks sync behind their Essentials plan at $149/mo. Jobkore includes QuickBooks Online sync on every Pro account for $19/mo — that's $130/mo back in your pocket.

Simple pricing vs tier confusion.

“Housecall Pro wanted $149 a month just so I could sync with QuickBooks. Switched to Jobkore, got QuickBooks plus change orders and AI for $19. Easiest decision I've made.”

Common questions.

Both tools handle estimates, invoices, and payments for contractors. Housecall Pro is a larger platform with scheduling, dispatching, online booking, and review management. Jobkore focuses on the estimate-to-payment workflow and adds change orders, AI estimate organization, and QuickBooks sync at $19/mo. If you need full scheduling and dispatch for a service team, Housecall Pro may be a better fit. If you need fast estimating, change orders, and QuickBooks without paying $149/mo, Jobkore is the better choice.
Yes, significantly. Housecall Pro Basic starts at $59/mo for one user. Their Essentials plan is $149/mo for QuickBooks and GPS, and MAX is $299/mo. Jobkore is $19/mo with everything included — estimates, invoices, change orders, AI, QuickBooks sync, and unlimited clients.
No. Housecall Pro does not offer a change order workflow on any plan. Jobkore includes full change orders with separate approvals, digital signatures, and dedicated invoicing on every Pro account.
Partially. Housecall Pro's app is available in English and Spanish, but it's not a fully bilingual experience across all documents and client communications. Jobkore is fully bilingual — every screen, form, email, PDF, and client-facing document works in both English and Spanish.
Yes. Housecall Pro offers AI-powered automation for tasks like customer communication. Jobkore's Hank AI focuses specifically on estimate organization — turn field notes, photos, and PDFs into structured estimate sections and line items.
Yes. Sign up for a free 14-day trial, add your clients, and start sending estimates and invoices right away. Most contractors are up and running within a day.
No. Jobkore is focused on the estimate-to-payment workflow: estimates, invoices, change orders, payments, and QuickBooks sync. If you need scheduling, routing, and dispatch for a larger team, Housecall Pro or Jobkore plus a scheduling tool may be a better fit.
Yes. Jobkore is a progressive web app (PWA) that works on any phone or tablet. Add it to your home screen and it works like a native app — create estimates, send invoices, and manage clients from the job site.
