Housecall Pro is a popular tool for home service pros, and its plans are built around how many people you have. Servelo gives small service businesses scheduling, quotes, invoices, a client portal, and AI on every job for one flat monthly price, whether you have one tech or twenty.

Postcards, email campaigns, and consumer booking are a big part of its pitch. If most of your growth comes from homeowner marketing and you are fine paying more as the team grows, it is a reasonable choice.
Every job, client, piece of equipment, and invoice in one place, with email-to-ticket, response-time targets (Pro and up), and AI help on every job. Built for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, handyman, cleaning, and IT teams that also serve businesses, not only homeowners.

The features small service teams ask for most, on every plan unless noted.
Servelo charges per workspace, not per seat. Adding a tech, an office manager, or a part-time helper does not change your bill until you outgrow the plan's user range.
Record every unit, panel, or device at each site with serial numbers, warranty dates, and photos. Every job links back to it, so the next visit starts with the full story.
Clients open jobs by sending an email and reply without logging in. Your team answers from Servelo or from their inbox, and the whole thread stays on the job.
Line-item quotes clients accept and sign online become invoices with card and bank payment links. Paid invoices close out the job on their own.
Every job gets an AI Job Planner that suggests next steps and quote lines. On Pro and above, AI drafts replies and summarizes long threads.
Revenue, expenses, lead costs, mileage, fuel, and processing fees in one place, so you see what each job actually made.
