THE HOUSECALL PRO ALTERNATIVE
FOR LANDSCAPING COMPANIES
HouseCall Pro plans come with different user allowances. A landscaping business handling route days, weather delays and spring cleanups can give every seasonal crew member a login on ToolbagCRM without counting seats.
Schedule individual landscaping visits, organize customer records, and send invoices. Optional plug-ins add route planning and job photos.

A LANDSCAPING JOB,
CALL TO PAYMENT.
Landscaping runs on route days. A crew loads the trailer in the morning and works through a list of properties, often the same ones every week. Rain on Tuesday pushes Tuesday's stops into Wednesday, and the whole week shifts.
New work comes in by phone or a neighbor asking over the fence. Spring cleanups, mulch, sod and hardscape jobs get quoted separately. Those quotes often need a site visit and photos before anyone can price them.
Billing has its own rhythm. Some customers pay per visit and some get one invoice at the end of the month. Crews also grow in April and shrink in November.
WHAT FITS FROM TOOLBAGCRM
Build a crew's dated route from scheduled visits, reorder the stops by hand and mark each stop done.
Check ZIP-based forecasts and active alerts on a customer or job before you send a crew out.
Group ZIP codes into named territories so the office can tell which crew covers an address.
Share a before and after gallery of a cleanup or install with the customer through a link you can revoke.
Recurring service contracts, recurring invoices and automatic traffic-aware routing are not available. Schedule each visit in the calendar. Plug-ins need a standard slot.
THE HEADACHES EVERY
LANDSCAPING OWNER KNOWS.
You don't have appointments — you have a Tuesday mowing route. Most CRMs can't think in routes.
The office needs to record each agreed visit and assign the crew without passing around spreadsheets.
Before/after photos per visit, per property, for HOA disputes and upsells. They live on the foreman's phone, nowhere else.

SWITCHING FROM HOUSECALL PRO?
Can I plan a route?
The Route Planner plug-in lets you organize routes and reorder stops. It requires a plug-in slot. It does not provide automatic traffic-aware route optimization.
Can I automate weekly visits and billing?
Not currently. Schedule visits in the core calendar and send invoices for the work. Recurring services, contracts, and recurring invoices are not available to new accounts.
Is ToolbagCRM cheaper than Housecall Pro?
It depends on the package, team size, plug-ins, and payment volume. Compare the published prices or vendor quote against Free or the $150/month Founders base plan, plus any Free-plan plug-in slots, add-ons, and processing fees.
Does ToolbagCRM do everything Housecall Pro does?
No. Compare specific workflows before switching. ToolbagCRM provides core customers, jobs, scheduling, quotes, invoices, and payments, with optional active plug-ins. QuickBooks sync, recurring service plans, GPS, and two-way SMS conversations are not current capabilities.
SWITCH
THE EASY WAY.
Start with Free or choose Founders: first month free, then $150/mo base with unlimited standard plug-in slots. Optional add-ons and processing are separate. Unlimited users on both plans.
