## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-20 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My short list, in the order I'd actually recommend
> 
> **1. Jobber** - my default recommendation for most small service businesses. Quoting → scheduling → invoicing → payments all in one place, a genuinely good mobile app for techs, and QuickBooks sync. Roughly $29-$249/mo depending on tier and team size, no implementation fee. Best fit is about 5-20 techs.

> **2. Housecall Pro** - the one I'd pick if you're a solo operator or 2-4 person crew and want to be running this week. Fastest setup of the three, strong consumer-facing booking and payment features, popular with plumbers, electricians, HVAC and cleaners. Starts around $59/mo for one user, ~$299/mo for up to eight - so it's cheaper than Jobber at one seat and pricier once you add people.
