FieldPulse (pricing on request) and Housecall Pro ($99/mo) are both established tools with real user bases, and for most people the honest answer is that either will do the job — the difference shows up in fit, not quality. At least one of these does not publish a price, so we cannot put a three-year total against it without inventing one — and we will not. Read the section below on which one suits your work; the cost table further down shows where the bill actually differs.
| Feature | FieldPulse | Housecall Pro | Nexa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Not published — quote only | $49–$199/mo (typically $99) | $279 once |
| Asset tracking | Yes | Limited | Via Jobs (equipment history) |
| Marketing | Limited | Postcards, campaigns | None (use dedicated tools) |
If you are choosing between these two, this is the part that matters. Both are established products and neither is a mistake — the question is which fits how you actually work. We have left ourselves out of this section entirely.
Headline prices rarely survive contact with a real invoice. These are the parts of the bill that move: where the ladder starts and ends, what an extra seat adds, and what comes off the top of money you take through the tool. A dash means we do not have that figure recorded — not that the fee is zero.
| FieldPulse | Housecall Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| How it is priced | Quote only — no published price | Monthly subscription |
| Entry price | — | $49/mo |
| Top published tier | — | $199/mo |
| Plan people typically land on | — | $99/mo |
| Per extra user | Seat-based — full-access seats and cheaper field-only seats | $0 (user limits per tier) |
| Payment processing | — | 2.9%+$0.30 |
| Free tier | No | No |
| Three-year total | — | $3,564 |
| Five-year total, with increases | — | $7,620 |
DOES NOT PUBLISH PRICING. Three tiers are named — Essentials, Professional, Enterprise — with no figure against any of them; every route leads to "Get a Custom Quote". Pricing is seat-based and varies with team size, and premium modules (phone system, AI, fleet tracking, custom forms) are quoted separately.
Pricing checked . Vendors change prices without notice — check the vendor before deciding.
Both of these are real products that a lot of businesses run on happily. If a comparison page only tells you what is wrong with the tools it is comparing, it is selling you something. Here is the honest case for each.
Only one of these publishes a price, so people comparing them are usually trying to work out what the quoted one will actually cost before committing to a sales process. Recurring pricing compounds, so the multi-year figure is the one that decides it.
There is a third shape to consider, and we should say plainly that it is ours: Nexa is a one-time purchase at $279 covering scheduling, invoicing, CRM, time tracking and job management. It suits people who want to stop paying monthly and can do without staffed support and a large integration ecosystem. If those matter to you, one of the two tools above is the better answer, and we would rather you bought the right thing.
5 years of FieldPulse: $5,940-11,940. 5 years of Housecall Pro: $7,740. Nexa forever: $279.
For reference, since we are one of the three options named on this page: Nexa is $279 once, with no monthly fee and no per-seat charge. Whether that beats a subscription depends entirely on how long you would keep paying one.
Comparing "$X per month forever" against "$279 once" is not a fair fight unless we say what the monthly fee is buying. It buys real things:
Where we think the trade goes the other way: those benefits are priced as rent, they compound every year you keep paying, and you stop having them the month you stop. Which side of that is worth more depends on your business, not on our opinion — run the numbers below on your own tool list rather than taking ours.
