Lower monthly cost

Built for one-owner businesses

Housecall Pro shines for multi-tech teams with dispatching needs. If you're a solo operator, Ruunly gives you the essentials without the complexity.

Website and plans are the starting point

Both platforms include a website. Ruunly generates one during signup with plan sign-up already wired in. With Housecall Pro you build the site and wire up recurring service plans separately after onboarding.

Common questions

Housecall Pro has service plans — why switch?

Both support recurring service plans. The difference is price and complexity. Ruunly starts at $19/mo with a website included. If you're a solo operator not using dispatch or GPS, you may be paying for features you don't need.

Does Ruunly support GPS tracking for technicians?

No. Ruunly focuses on job scheduling, billing, and customer management. If real-time GPS dispatching for a team of technicians is critical, Housecall Pro has more depth there.

Can I migrate from Housecall Pro?

Yes. Export your customer list from Housecall Pro and import via Ruunly's CSV importer. Your website is generated automatically on signup.
