Comparison
Looking for a Housecall Pro alternative?
Housecall Pro is a mature platform built around home-service businesses, with payments and marketing woven into the product. Servium is a smaller, cheaper tool for people who want the job and quote workflow without the rest of the suite.
A narrower product on purpose
Servium does jobs, quotes, clients, photos, and payment status. That is the whole scope. If your day is mostly scheduling work, pricing it, and remembering what you did for whom, that scope is the product — and there is very little to configure before you can use it.
Pricing built for one person
Servium's Starter plan is free, Plus is $9.99/month, and Pro is $19.99/month. Housecall Pro's published plans start considerably higher and scale with users and features. Compare both live pricing pages before switching, since published prices change.
What Servium does not do
No integrated card processing for your customers, no automated marketing campaigns, no consumer booking marketplace, and no offline mode in the first release. Housecall Pro covers those. If payment processing inside the app is central to how you work, it is the better fit.
Who this is for
Solo trades and small crews who want their jobs, quotes, and client history in one place, on a phone, for around ten dollars a month. If you are running dispatch for a larger team or depend on in-app payments, stay with the bigger platform.
What Servium covers
- Scheduling with a per-person day list
- Quotes with saved line items, sent as PDF
- Quote to job conversion in one tap
- Client history on every job
- Job photos (Pro plan)
- Payment status tracking per job and period
- Free Starter plan, no card required
Questions, answered
Does Servium process customer payments?
No. Servium records payment status — paid, pending, overdue — so you know who owes you. It does not take card payments from your clients on your behalf.
Is Servium cheaper than Housecall Pro?
Servium's paid plans are $9.99 and $19.99 per month and there is a free plan. Housecall Pro's published entry pricing is higher. Check both current pricing pages, as prices change.
Can I move my client list across?
There is no automated import in the current release, so clients and jobs are entered manually. That is quick for a small client book and slow for a large one.
Is there a trial?
The Starter plan is free with no card required, and paid plans include a 7-day free trial.
