Housecall Pro handles scheduling and payments. It does not answer your phone, reactivate your customers, or collect your aging invoices.

Keep HCP for scheduling. Add Maximus for the 8 things HCP was never built to do.

HCP is solid software. We mean it.

Housecall Pro handles scheduling, dispatching, estimates, invoicing, and payments. Instapay (same-day deposits) is a real differentiator. For 1-10 person operations, HCP is a strong choice.

Frequently asked questions

Do I cancel HCP?

No. Maximus connects to HCP. Keep both. They do different things.

HCP has an AI receptionist. How is Maximus different?

HCP has one add-on feature. Maximus is 8 AI agents covering calls, collections, reactivation, reviews, routing, marketing, and a chief of staff who briefs you every morning.

I am on MAX. Is Maximus redundant?

No. MAX adds pipeline and price books. Maximus adds call answering, reactivation, collections, marketing, routing, and daily briefings. Zero overlap.
