The free Housecall Pro alternative built for Kansas City contractors.
The Kansas City metro straddles the Missouri-Kansas state line, so many contractors hold licenses on both sides to serve Overland Park, Leawood, Lee's Summit, and the Northland. Affordable housing keeps owner-occupancy rates strong, and a mix of prewar homes in Brookside and Waldo alongside postwar ranches across Johnson County gives trades a wide variety of service work. Sewer line and basement waterproofing work stays busy thanks to aging clay tile drains and heavy thunderstorm runoff. Housecall Pro charges $59 - $199+/month for the privilege of running your business. Clockwork costs $0/month — pay only when you collect a payment.
