Frequently asked questions

About Fieldproxy as a Housecall Pro alternative.

Is Fieldproxy a good Housecall Pro alternative?

Yes, particularly if you need AI Command Center — voice and chat agents for dispatch, quote follow-up, and customer comms. Fieldproxy serves HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Cleaning, Pest Control and any other service vertical with custom workflows, AI dispatching, and transparent pricing.

How does Fieldproxy pricing compare to Housecall Pro?

Housecall Pro pricing starts at $49-$249/month base + per-user fees with $0 (self-serve) in setup fees. Fieldproxy uses transparent pricing tailored to your operation with no setup fees and a faster time-to-live (Same-day signup, weeks to fully adopt → 1-3 weeks with Fieldproxy).

How long does it take to switch from Housecall Pro to Fieldproxy?

Most teams switch from Housecall Pro to Fieldproxy in 2-4 weeks. We provide free migration consultation, data export assistance, and a parallel-run period to minimise disruption.

Does Fieldproxy work for HVAC?

Yes. Fieldproxy is used by HVAC businesses ranging from 5 to 500+ technicians. Unlike Housecall Pro, the platform isn't locked into one vertical — it adapts to your specific HVAC operation.

Can Fieldproxy replace Housecall Pro for AI features?

Fieldproxy is AI-native in two specific ways Housecall Pro isn't. First, the AI Command Center handles dispatching, quote follow-up, customer comms, and route optimisation through voice or chat. Second, Fieldproxy uses AI-driven customization — operators describe a workflow change in plain English and the platform builds it live. It's the closest thing to Lovable, for FSM. Housecall Pro typically requires third-party AI add-ons for the first capability and has no equivalent of the second.

How quickly can I customize Fieldproxy compared to Housecall Pro?

Most workflow changes in Fieldproxy take minutes — describe what you want in plain English and the platform builds it. Housecall Pro typically requires either an admin's clicks across multiple config screens, or a paid professional-services engagement for anything non-trivial.

What customer support does Fieldproxy offer compared to Housecall Pro?

Fieldproxy provides hands-on customer success support during onboarding plus ongoing access to our customization team. No ticket queues, no implementation fee for changes.
