Housecall Pro runs your jobs. Lead Score qualifies them first.
Housecall Pro is built for active job management — scheduling, dispatching, invoicing. But it has no way to tell you whether a lead is worth booking before you spend time on it. That gap costs contractors thousands every month.
Choose Lead Score if you're a solo operator who needs lead qualification, estimates, invoices, and mileage without paying $59–329/month plus add-on fees.
Choose Housecall Pro if you run a service company with multiple technicians, need online booking, and want scheduling and dispatch built into your client workflow.
- You're a solo contractor or small crew (1–3 people)
- You want to qualify leads before booking jobs
- You're not ready to pay $59–329/month plus add-ons
- You want offline-first, no account required
- You want mileage, estimates, and lead scoring in one app
- You have multiple technicians needing dispatch
- You need customer-facing online booking
- You need GPS fleet tracking
- You need automated SMS and review collection
- You need a client portal for payment collection
Lead Score vs Housecall Pro
Lead Score was built because Housecall Pro's #1 missing feature — according to their own users — is a call scoring and qualification system. We built exactly that, at a price solo operators can afford.
| Feature | Lead Score | Housecall Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Qualify leads before booking | ✓ 5-factor scoring in 5 min | ✗ Not available at any price |
| Auto GPS mileage tracking | ✓ Built in — per lead | ✗ GPS tracking add-on costs extra |
| PDF estimates & invoices | ✓ Built in | ✓ Built in (HCP strength) |
| Works fully offline | ✓ 100% local storage | ✗ Requires active connection |
| No account required | ✓ Your device, your data | ✗ Account required |
| Lead qualification scoring | ✓ 5-factor scoring system | ✗ Not available |
| Call recording | ✗ Coming in Version 2 | ✗ Not available (#1 requested feature) |
| Monthly price | ✓ $9.99/month | ✗ $59–329/month |
| Free tier | ✓ First 3 leads, no card | ✗ No free tier |
| Scheduling & dispatch | ✗ Not included | ✓ Full scheduling (HCP strength) |
It manages your jobs. It can't tell you which ones are worth taking.
Housecall Pro is genuinely excellent at what it does. Scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, automated review requests — once a job is booked, HCP handles the workflow beautifully. But the $59–329/month price tag assumes every lead you feed it is worth pursuing.
Housecall Pro manages jobs. Lead Score decides which jobs deserve to be managed.
The reality is that most contractors book leads into Jobber or HCP without ever qualifying them first. The result: your field service platform fills up with bad jobs, your schedule clogs with tire kickers, and your close rate looks worse than it is because you're measuring the wrong things.
Lead Score sits upstream of HCP. It qualifies every lead in 5 minutes before it ever enters your scheduling workflow — so the jobs that make it into Housecall Pro are the ones worth winning.
"HCP literally has everything you need from start to finish. If there was one thing missing it is a phone system — something for tracking and recording calls."
Housecall Pro user review, SoftwareConnect 2025
The pre-qualification layer HCP was never designed to provide.
Lead Score doesn't replace Housecall Pro. It makes your HCP subscription more profitable. Score every lead in 5 minutes before it enters your HCP workflow — so you only dispatch on jobs worth winning.
HCP's most-requested missing feature in user reviews is call recording and lead qualification. Lead Score delivers exactly this — without the enterprise price tag. For $9.99/month you get the scoring layer HCP users have been asking for since the platform launched.
Together, Lead Score and Housecall Pro cover the entire contractor workflow: Lead Score qualifies the lead, HCP executes the job. Neither tool does both well. Together they do everything.
What your current app stack actually costs.
Most solo contractors run 4–5 separate apps. Here's the monthly total — and what Lead Score costs to replace all of them.
Or go annual at $59.99/year — less than $5/month for the full stack.
Clear pricing. No surprises.
