The Housecall Pro Nickel & Dime Playbook
They advertise "starting at $129" but by the time you add what you actually need, you're paying 3-5x more. Here's how they get you:
📞 The Base Plan Trap
Base plan sounds affordable at $129/month. But it includes almost nothing. Want call answering? That's extra. Marketing? Extra. Everything useful? Extra.
Real "usable" price: $278-628/month
⏱️ Per-Minute Gotcha
"$149 for 100 minutes" sounds reasonable until you realize that's 3 minutes per day. Go over? $1.25-1.75 per minute. One busy day can double your bill.
Average overage: $50-200/month
🕐 Limited Hours Scam
Basic answering is only 8am-6pm weekdays. Need evenings? Weekends? That's the "premium" tier at double the price. Emergencies don't follow business hours.
24/7 coverage: +$150/month
