# Housecall Pro vs Service Tech Work Orders Plus

The clearest difference is price: Housecall Pro at Free against Service Tech Work Orders Plus's $7.99. Housecall Pro also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.2). Service Tech Work Orders Plus's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 40%) and device support (4 vs 2). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Housecall Pro is free to download; Service Tech Work Orders Plus costs $7.99 up front. Housecall Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per month and Service Tech Work Orders Plus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Housecall Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Housecall Pro has 31K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Housecall Pro's written reviews are positive against 82% of Service Tech Work Orders Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Housecall Pro ships an update weekly, Service Tech Work Orders Plus every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
