Thorbis
AN HONEST COMPARISON

Great for your first trucks. Built for the ones after.

Housecall Pro publishes clean tiers and works well for many residential teams. Thorbis is for operators who've outgrown calendar-first scheduling and want a heavier dispatch board, deeper job economics, and built-in AI.

02 · WHERE THE PRICES DIVERGE

Same base price. Different per seat.

At the top tier both start at $299/mo. The gap opens with headcount: every additional user on Housecall Pro MAX is $35/mo, while Thorbis stays flat with unlimited users. Here's five added users, three years out.

Additional-user cost · 5 users beyond your plan · three years AT HOUSECALL PRO'S PUBLISHED $35/MO MAX RATE
Thorbis · unlimited users $0
Housecall Pro MAX · 5 added users $6,300
That's $2,100/yr in add-on seats on MAX — the same five users cost nothing extra on Thorbis. Model both with your real roster. ADD A USER ON THORBIS: +$0

04 · TO BE FAIR

Housecall Pro is a good product.
For a specific stage.

If its published tiers fit your budget and workflow — especially for smaller residential crews — stay. You shouldn't leave unless you have a concrete pain: dispatch, reporting, AI, or multi-location. Thorbis is built for the moment that pain shows up — as you add trucks, territories, or commercial complexity — and grows with you from there.

$299/month + usage at cost. Unlimited users, everything included.

One published price with a $100/month utilities credit built in. No per-seat math as you add trucks and office staff. Reserve early access and lock in founding pricing.
