Housecall Pro is a strong field-service platform, and its Price Book handles flat-rate services (uploaded by CSV or Excel) with material markup tiers by cost range — genuinely useful if you're all-in on Housecall Pro. The catch is that it's a paid add-on on top of your base subscription, and the prebuilt Profit Rhino books cost more again.
If what you need is a master price book — one source of truth for costs, markup schedules, and price tiers that you can feed into the tools you already run — you don't have to adopt (or keep paying the add-on for) a single platform to get it.

FAQ
Is Pricebookr a Housecall Pro alternative?
Not for the whole platform — Pricebookr replaces the price-book layer, not scheduling, dispatch, or invoicing. You keep Housecall Pro and manage your master catalog in Pricebookr, then export a Housecall-Pro-ready price book. Native two-way sync is with Jobber today; Housecall Pro and QuickBooks Online are supported via import-ready exports.
How much does Housecall Pro's Price Book cost?
Housecall Pro's Price Book is a paid add-on — commonly around $149/month on top of your base plan (plans start near $59/month), and the Profit Rhino prebuilt price books are about $199/month. Pricebookr is a flat $149/month for up to 10 users with every feature included. Verify current Housecall Pro pricing with Housecall Pro.
Does Housecall Pro support multiple price tiers?
Housecall Pro keeps one customer price per item (plus material markup tiers by cost). To quote retail and wholesale differently you'd duplicate items. Pricebookr keeps retail, wholesale, and field tiers on the same item, each with role-based access.
Can I move my Housecall Pro price book into Pricebookr?
Yes — import your catalog by CSV, organize and price it with markup schedules and tiers, then export a Housecall-Pro-ready file (or sync to Jobber). Every change is versioned with rollback.
