Staybookt vs Housecall Pro

One Flat Price. Everything Included.

Housecall Pro looks cheap until you add proposals, service plans, and price books. Then the bill adds up fast. We built Staybookt for Canadian shops that want one simple price with everything you actually need.

To Be Fair

Good Mobile App

Their mobile app works. Your crews get job details, dispatch info, and can mark jobs complete. It's clean.

Decent Dispatch

Their dispatch system actually works. Routes and crew assignments. If you're small, it does the job.

Low Entry Price (Solo)

$59 a month to start if you're solo. But prices climb fast as you add features and users.
