Housecall Pro's own pricing page already claims job costing, "track and report the costs associated with each job," on its cheapest plan, $59/month. So "does Housecall Pro have job costing" is the wrong question. The real one, the one that actually changes what a shop pays: which tier, on which tool, turns that checkbox into a number an owner trusts enough to act on. We checked six tools' own current pricing pages to answer it, not a roundup that repeats last year's screenshot.
None of this is a knock on Housecall Pro specifically. It's a genuinely good scheduling-and-dispatch tool for a huge swath of home-service trades. The pattern below shows up because "job costing" means something different, and costs something different, on every platform a growing shop compares it against, and almost nobody lines up all six pricing pages side by side before picking.
Jobber
Jobber's own pricing page reserves job costing for its Grow plan and above. Core ($21/month, 1 user) and Connect ($70/month, 5 users included) don't have it; Grow ($105/month, 10 users included) adds "track profitability with job costing," and Plus ($280/month, 15 users included) adds automated job costing and profitability tracking. GPS tracking, notably, ships on every Jobber tier including Core, not gated behind Grow the way job costing is. Extra users run $29/month each on any plan.
For a shop of 6-10 people specifically evaluating Housecall Pro's Essentials plan ($149/month, 5 users included, no job costing named at that tier), Jobber's Grow plan lands close on price with twice the included seats and a named job-costing feature Housecall Pro doesn't call out at the equivalent tier.
Service Fusion
Service Fusion prices job costing as a paid add-on at its entry tier, not a Plus-and-up feature the way Jobber does it. Starter is $208/month (annual billing, unlimited users included) with QuickBooks Online and Desktop sync built in, and job costing available as an add-on; Plus, at $325/month, makes job costing a standard included feature alongside inventory management; Pro, at $533/month, keeps everything from Plus.
The unlimited-user model is the real differentiator here versus Jobber's per-seat pricing: a 15-tech crew pays the same $208-533/month band a 3-tech crew does, which changes the math for shops that expect to add headcount without a per-seat bill climbing alongside it.
Workiz
Workiz doesn't publish a monthly price for any of its three plans, Standard, Pro, and Ultimate, as of this writing; its pricing page routes every plan to a "request pricing" call. QuickBooks Online sync is listed as a standard feature across all three tiers. Job costing is not named as a feature on Workiz's own pricing page at any tier, which doesn't mean the platform can't do cost tracking through a workaround, but it does mean a shop can't verify it, or its price, without a sales conversation.
FieldPulse
FieldPulse is seat-based and, like Workiz, doesn't list a monthly number publicly; its own pricing page routes Essentials, Professional, and Enterprise to a custom quote. QuickBooks sync is standard across all three tiers. Job costing, again, isn't named as a line-item feature on the pricing page itself, though third-party listings note broader accounting integrations (Zapier, Xero) alongside QuickBooks.
ServiceTitan
ServiceTitan is the tool most of these platforms get compared against once a shop is past the "which $100-300/month tool" conversation entirely, enterprise-grade job costing, dispatch, and reporting, at enterprise-grade implementation time and contract terms. We've covered the real onboarding timeline and contract structure in a dedicated pricing breakdown rather than re-deriving it here; the short version is that it's the right tool for a shop that has outgrown the "under 15 techs" framing this post is written for.
Top Builder AI
Every tool above answers "does the software have a job-costing feature." None of them answer "who checks the number it produces." That's the actual gap: job costing built into a scheduling platform is a report a bookkeeper still has to pull, reconcile against QuickBooks, and sanity-check by hand, on Housecall Pro, Jobber, Service Fusion, or anything else on this list. Top Builder AI's Financial agent is built to do that reconciliation and flag the exceptions, an operator approves every recommendation, nothing posts on its own, which is a different kind of tool than a job-costing checkbox on a scheduling app. There's no public monthly tier to list here because it's scoped per shop, not sold as a self-serve seat.
| Tool | Entry price | Users at entry | QuickBooks | Job costing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Housecall Pro | $59/mo (Basic) | 1 | Essentials+ | Named at Basic |
| Jobber | $105/mo (Grow) | 10 | Yes | Grow and up only |
| Service Fusion | $208/mo (Starter) | Unlimited | Yes | Add-on at Starter, included at Plus |
| Workiz | Custom quote | Custom quote | Yes | Not named |
| FieldPulse | Custom quote | Custom quote | Yes | Not named |
| ServiceTitan | Enterprise (see our pricing post) | Enterprise | Yes | Enterprise-grade |
QuickBooks sync is now table stakes, five of six tools ship it standard. Job costing is where the real split is: named upfront, gated behind a higher tier, or missing from the pricing page entirely.
We started from the tools independent field-service comparison sites (Jobber's own competitor page, G2, Capterra) most consistently name as Housecall Pro's direct competitive set for crews under roughly 15 people, Jobber, Workiz, Service Fusion, and FieldPulse, then added the two ends of the spectrum a growing shop eventually lands on: ServiceTitan for the enterprise tier, and Top Builder AI as the tool built specifically around the reconciliation gap the other five leave to a bookkeeper. Every price and feature claim above was checked against that vendor's own current pricing page, not a review site's summary of it.
What to actually check before switching off Housecall Pro
Job costing existing on a pricing page and job costing being trustworthy enough to act on same-week are two different bars. Before paying more for a "job costing included" tier anywhere on this list, confirm what the feature actually reconciles against, your QuickBooks labor and material costs, not just the invoice total the field app already shows you.
- No invented pricing. Every dollar figure above is what that vendor's own pricing page listed at the time this post was written, not a review site's paraphrase.
- Two vendors don't publish a price at all. Workiz and FieldPulse route to a sales call; we said so rather than guessing a number.
- This isn't an anti-Housecall-Pro post. Housecall Pro's job-costing claim on its own $59 plan is real; the point is knowing what tier and price actually gets a shop the granularity it needs.
- A person still reviews every number. Top Builder AI's Financial agent proposes a reconciliation; it doesn't post one unreviewed.

Most shops have never compared what their scheduling tool's job-cost report shows against what QuickBooks actually says about the same job. A fit call walks through what turns up in yours.
