The self-hosted Housecall Pro alternative
Jobora — Self-Hosted Job Management: Quotes, Scheduling, Job Costing — Self-hosted field-service software: quotes that turn into jobs, a drag-and-drop schedule board, real job costing and invoices — bought once. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Housecall Pro every month.
Stop renting Housecall Pro
3 months of Housecall Pro equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The annual-billing figure on the entry tier — the LOWER of the two published numbers, chosen deliberately so this comparison understates rather than overstates. Month to month it is $79. One user is included, and the tier above charges $100/mo for each extra person.
How Housecall Pro pricing grows with you
Housecall Pro includes a fixed number of users in each tier and charges a flat monthly fee for every person beyond it.

What Housecall Pro does that we don't
Housecall Pro sells consumer-facing online booking that takes the job straight off a Google listing.
“Let customers book and pay online 24/7 directly from Google or your website.” — their own page
Who should stay with Housecall Pro
If you need a customer booking page and card payments taken inside the product, stay with Housecall Pro — Jobora has neither; the customer sees one document at a time and pays you however you already get paid. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Housecall Pro
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Housecall Pro's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Jobora — Self-Hosted Job Management: Quotes, Scheduling, Job Costing vs Housecall Pro comparison.
