Everything HCP MAX has.
Without the add-on menu.
Housecall Pro MAX is $279/mo before add-ons — then you pay extra for AI phone coverage (HCP doesn't publish pricing for it) and subscribe separately for GPS fleet tracking. Servinix includes AI phone in the base price and GPS at $15/vehicle. One vendor, one invoice, one login.

Three reasons field service businesses switch from HCP
AI phone agent — included, not a custom-quote add-on
Housecall Pro's AI call-answering product is CSR AI — a paid add-on with pricing HCP doesn't publish; you have to contact their sales team for a quote. Servinix AI phone is included in the $300 base — it answers every call 24/7, books jobs in natural conversation, and hands off to your team when a human is needed. No tier upgrade, no separate product, no quote call required.
Native GPS vs. bolt-on tracker
HCP has no native GPS. You're running Azuga, Samsara, or a similar tracker on a separate contract — $27-45/vehicle/mo on 3-year terms. Servinix GPS is $15/vehicle/mo (plus a one-time $50 OBD hardware fee), no contract, native to the dispatch board. Your dispatcher sees every truck in real time without switching tabs.
One flat price, not a tiered add-on menu
HCP's MAX tier is $279/mo before AI phone and GPS get added on — each its own line item, each its own upsell conversation. Servinix is $300/mo flat with AI and field service management included; GPS is the only add-on, at a fixed $15/vehicle. One price you can actually predict.
Feature comparison
Housecall Pro vs Servinix
The honest part
Where Housecall Pro genuinely wins
HCP has a decade of vertical-specific refinement and a loyal trades customer base. Here's where it still beats Servinix today.
Solo pool / HVAC operator entry pricing
HCP Basic at $79/mo for a single user is cheaper than Servinix if you're a one-tech operation without vehicles. We hit $300/mo because we include AI phone handling. If you're happy with voicemail, HCP's Basic tier beats us on price.
Mature vertical-specific templates
HCP has industry-tuned templates and workflows built over a decade — especially polished for pool service, HVAC, and plumbing. Their price book, service agreement templates, and estimate forms have 10 years of operator feedback baked in. Servinix is close but HCP's vertical depth is real.
Larger ecosystem of industry integrations
HCP integrates with vertical-specific tools that matter to specific trades — Sera for HVAC, specific pool chemistry platforms, commercial backflow reporting. If your operation relies on niche industry-specific software, HCP likely connects to it. Servinix covers the 80% core (QuickBooks, Stripe, Google Maps) but fewer niche integrations.
Real monthly cost
The add-on math
The honest math:HCP's disclosed total ($414–504/mo) doesn't even include AI phone coverage — that's a separate sales call. Servinix is $475/mo flat, AI included, no quote required to find out what it costs.

FAQ
Switching from HCP — common questions
Is Servinix cheaper than Housecall Pro MAX?+
For a typical 5-user operation with 5 vehicles, HCP MAX alone is $279/mo, plus $135–225/mo for third-party GPS — and that's before CSR AI, which HCP prices on a custom quote rather than a published rate. Servinix is $475/mo flat, with AI, GPS, and FSM all included and no sales call required to find out the price. Bring your HCP invoice — including whatever they quoted you for CSR AI — and we'll beat it by 50%.
Can Servinix handle pool service route operations like HCP can?+
Yes. Pool service is one of the primary verticals Servinix was designed around — 20-40 stops per day, chemical readings logged at each pool with photos, recurring weekly/bi-weekly schedules, and seasonal pricing adjustments. The route view shows all stops on a single map with drag-to-reorder, and techs get a mobile checklist for each pool including chemistry expectations.
How does Servinix compare to Housecall Pro's CSR AI?+
CSR AI is Housecall Pro's AI call-handling add-on — it answers inbound calls, books jobs, and captures leads, similar to Servinix's AI phone agent. The key difference is pricing transparency: HCP doesn't publish CSR AI pricing, it's a custom quote, while Servinix AI is a flat $300/mo included in the base plan. Feature-wise both handle 24/7 answering and booking. Servinix also handles morning owner briefings — a daily digest of calls, jobs booked, and revenue — which CSR AI currently does not.
What's the difference between HCP Assist and Servinix's AI Receptionist?+
HCP Assist is Housecall Pro's live-answering add-on — trained human agents pick up calls (after-hours, weekends, or whatever coverage window you choose) and book them onto your HCP calendar. It's a different product from CSR AI, HCP's AI-only call handler. Servinix's AI Receptionist is AI-driven, not human-staffed — it answers, books, and hands off to your team only when a human is actually needed, for a flat $300/mo. Like CSR AI, HCP Assist pricing isn't published; it's a custom quote.
Can I migrate my pool customers + service history from HCP?+
Yes. We import via HCP's CSV export — customers, service addresses, recurring service plans, open invoices, and past service records. For pool operators, we also import your chemical reading history if it's logged in HCP. Full migration typically completes in one business day. Photo archives stay in HCP for 30 days as a parallel reference.
Does Servinix have an app tech can use offline, like HCP's mobile app?+
Yes. The Servinix tech app (iOS + Android) caches the day's schedule, customer info, checklists, and price book locally. Jobs can be completed and photos taken entirely offline, and estimates can be signed on-site. Everything syncs automatically once the tech is back in signal. Same reliability bar as HCP's mobile app.
What about QuickBooks integration?+
Servinix syncs with QuickBooks Online bidirectionally for invoices, payments, customers, and categories. Setup takes under 10 minutes, same underlying QuickBooks Online API that HCP uses. If you're on QuickBooks Desktop, we support import/export via IIF files but not live sync — same constraint HCP has.
I run a pool route. Why would I switch from HCP to Servinix?+
Three reasons most switchers cite: (1) after-hours emergency calls (leaks, pump failures) go to voicemail on HCP unless you pay for CSR AI or HCP Assist — Servinix handles them natively at a flat $300/mo, (2) knowing which tech is where on the route requires a third-party GPS on HCP — Servinix has it built in at $15/vehicle, (3) the total cost, once you get HCP's real quote for AI phone coverage, is usually higher than Servinix's published $475/mo. If none of those matter to your operation, HCP is a mature product and staying is fine.
What is a Housecall Pro alternative with GPS included?+
Servinix is a Housecall Pro alternative with GPS fleet tracking natively included, not a bolt-on. HCP has no native GPS, so operators pay $27–45/vehicle/mo separately for Azuga or Samsara on a multi-year contract. Servinix GPS is $15/vehicle/mo (plus a one-time $50 OBD hardware fee), built directly into the same dispatch board, with no separate contract.
