By the Birdy team · Facts checked November 12, 2026

We make Birdy and sell it, so this page is not neutral: Birdy is listed first because it is our pick for owner-run home service companies, especially where several people in the office answer leads. Every price for another product is copied from that company's own website on November 12, 2026 (links under Sources), unless it is labelled as a third-party estimate. Prices change; check the vendor's page before you decide.

Where Birdy fits

A good fit when

Everyone in the company signs in, and you do not want each new crew member to change your plan.
Several people in the office answer leads and you want each lead owned and timed.
You want every feature on every plan, with no add-on for the lead pipeline.

Look elsewhere when

You want to take card payments today: card payments are coming, and invoices are marked paid by hand until then.
You want a published price you can start on tonight: Birdy opens accounts a few companies at a time.
You want phone calls, AI answering or route optimization inside the software.
You want a native app with a long track record and card payments on day one: Housecall Pro has both.

Does Housecall Pro have discounts?

On November 12, 2026 its pricing page offered a first month at $26 on Basic and Essentials, and $99 a month for 3 months on Max when you book a demo. Offers change; ask what the price is after the offer ends. The page's code also holds annual prices ($59, $149 and $299 a month) and an annual toggle, but neither was shown on screen that day, so ask for an annual price in writing.
