Why shops switch · vs Housecall Pro

Looking for a Housecall Pro alternative? Meet lınq..

Housecall Pro polished the mobile app for HVAC and plumbing. Shops leave when the per-user pricing climbs, the marketing add-ons start nickel-and-diming, and the office still needs a separate receptionist tool to answer the phone.

How to switch

Switching from Housecall Pro.
In three steps.

The whole migration runs from one screen. Keep Housecall Pro active until you're sure — most shops cancel within the week.

Step 1 of 3

Export from Housecall Pro

From HCP web app → Settings → Account → Data Export. Request customer, job, and invoice exports. HCP emails you the CSVs within a few hours.

Step 2 of 3

One-click import

Drop the HCP exports into the lınq importer. We map HCP's customer + job + invoice schema automatically. Equipment records, recurring plans and tags come over intact.

Step 3 of 3

Run side-by-side for a week

Keep HCP active while you train your techs on lınq. Test the AI receptionist on a forwarded line. Most shops shut HCP off by Friday.

Before you switch

Five questions shop owners ask about Housecall Pro.

Per-month, lınq starts lower and doesn't charge per user on Crew+. The bigger gap is card processing: 2.00% year-one on lınq vs. ~2.59% + $0.30 on HCP Payments. On $100k monthly volume the rate alone saves around $590/month.
Yes. The lınq importer accepts the standard HCP CSV exports — customers, jobs, invoices, equipment, recurring service plans. Most shops migrate in well under an hour.
Every core HCP module — scheduling, dispatch, estimates, invoices, customer portal, recurring plans, equipment tracking — plus the AI receptionist, tap-to-pay at 2.00%, and brandable customer portals out of the box.
HCP's tech mobile app has years of polish in spots — the in-truck checklist UX and the SuperBundle marketing automations are mature. If your shop is already running every HCP marketing add-on and happy with the bill, the switch isn't urgent.
About an hour for the import. A day for tech training. We've seen 8-truck HVAC shops fully cut over in a single weekend.
