Where Housecall Pro is strong

  • Good, better, best proposals
  • Online booking
  • Pipeline automation
  • Google and Outlook calendar sync
  • Voice and GPS add-ons

Where Trades Lead CRM fits

  • Leads stay in your own spreadsheet: Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable or Notion
  • One flat price for your whole crew, not per user
  • Tap-to-call with call logs and SMS templates
  • Estimates and invoices with e-sign and a Stripe pay link
  • Customer portal where homeowners view, sign, and pay
  • Google Calendar scheduling and a Today follow-up list
  • AI assistant that drafts texts and estimates. Nothing sends until you confirm

What we do not do yet

  • No route optimization or dispatch board
  • No built-in phone system. Calls use your phone, or connect Twilio, OpenPhone, or Aircall
  • No customer financing

If you need those today, Housecall Pro may be the better pick.
