THE HOUSECALL PRO ALTERNATIVE
FOR CLEANING COMPANIES
Recurring schedules are the heart of a cleaning business, and HouseCall Pro's Recurring Service Plans live on the $329/mo MAX tier. ToolbagCRM includes them flat.
WHERE HOUSECALL PRO
COSTS YOU.
You have more than 5 users and don't want $35/mo per extra seat on MAX
You want QuickBooks sync without paying for the $189/mo Essentials tier
You want advanced reporting without paying for the $329/mo MAX tier
You want your customers to see YOUR brand, not HCP's
You'd rather pay per AI call than buy CSR AI as a separate monthly add-on
WHAT CLEANING COMPANIES
ACTUALLY NEED.
Recurring Schedule Engine
Weekly, biweekly, monthly, custom cadences — all in one place, all visible at a glance, all auto-billed if you want.
Per-Customer Checklists
Build the checklist once per customer. Cleaner sees it on their phone. Photos go on the visit record. Customer signs off.
24/7 Online Booking
Lead picks date, time, frequency, and home size from your website. Card goes on file. The job is on your calendar before you wake up.
Crew-Specific Dispatch
Some customers want Maria's crew. Some want any-crew-but-John's. Tag preferences once; the schedule respects them.
Card-on-File Auto-Bill
Recurring jobs auto-charge after each visit. No invoicing chase, no Net 30 awkwardness. Receipts emailed on your domain.
Branded Customer Portal
Reschedule, view past visits, see photos, change checklist — all on YOUR domain. They never see ours.

SWITCHING FROM HOUSECALL PRO?
Is ToolbagCRM cheaper than HouseCall Pro?
Usually, yes. ToolbagCRM is a flat price with unlimited users, while HouseCall Pro raises cost as you add seats and puts key features behind higher tiers.
What does HouseCall Pro gate that ToolbagCRM includes?
QuickBooks sync sits on HouseCall Pro's $189/month tier and advanced reporting on the $329/month MAX tier. ToolbagCRM includes its full feature set in the flat price.
Can I move from HouseCall Pro to ToolbagCRM?
Yes. ToolbagCRM is pre-launch, so reserve founders pricing on the waitlist to start the switch.
Does ToolbagCRM match HouseCall Pro's features?
It handles the core work end to end, and the comparison above is honest about what's there today versus on the roadmap.
Is it a good HouseCall Pro alternative for small shops?
Yes, particularly for one-to-25-tech operators who don't want to pay per seat or climb tiers for the basics.
How much does cleaning business CRM software cost?
Flat pricing, unlimited cleaners included. It's $99/month for three months on founders pricing, then $150/month for life. Adding crew doesn't raise the bill on your plan.
Does it handle recurring schedules and online booking?
Yes. Recurring schedules and 24/7 online booking are built in for both residential and commercial work.
