The work
The days fire and life-safety contractors run, on either system.
01
The inspection cycle
Annuals, semi-annuals, and monthlies per property, scheduled from the record, with photos, findings, and signatures captured where the equipment hangs.
02
The deficiency
A failed head or a dead battery becomes a quote before the tech leaves the site, and a scheduled repair the moment the building approves it.
03
The service call
Trouble signals and damaged equipment between cycles, dispatched with the property’s full inspection history in the tech’s hand.
The difference
Housecall Pro beside Thorbis, for fire and life-safety contractors.

The board
Mike should not be a line item.
The fire and life-safety day on one board the office runs and the trucks read.
The old way
What the whiteboard costs fire and life-safety contractors.
The paper trail is the product
This trade sells documentation. When it lives in binders and truck cabs, the thing you sell is the thing you cannot find.
Deficiencies die in the truck
A finding that never becomes a quote is revenue left on the wall, and a hazard left with your company’s name on the tag.
The cycle slips
A missed annual is a lost contract and an exposed building. Due dates belong on a board, not in someone’s head.

Is this comparison current?
The Housecall Pro side is read from its own pricing page or from what shops report, as of August 2026, and it says which. If Housecall Pro changes its model, this page is wrong until it is updated, and we would rather you check than trust a stale row.
