FieldN vs Housecall Pro: which home service software is right for you?
Quick answer
Housecall Pro is popular home service software for the USA and Canada, with three published plans: Basic $59, Essentials $149 and Max $299 a month on yearly billing, for 1, 5 and 8 users. Online booking is on every plan; recurring service plans only on Max, and payroll is a paid add-on.
FieldN works in any country and puts AMC contracts, an own-brand customer app, WhatsApp messages and full HR and payroll in one system. Outside North America, or when contracts and a bigger team matter, FieldN is the better fit.

Where each one works
Housecall Pro is built for home service companies in the USA and Canada — its marketing, payments and phone tools assume that market. FieldN is used with any currency and tax rates, and its WhatsApp messages fit the way customers in the Gulf, India and Asia talk to service companies.
Plans and user limits
Housecall Pro's plans cap the number of users: 1 on Basic, 5 on Essentials and 8 on Max, with extra users at $35 a month on Max. Recurring service plans — the closest thing to an AMC — are only on Max. FieldN is quoted for your whole team, and AMC contracts with planned visits, renewals and contract invoices are part of the core product.
Team and back office
Housecall Pro tracks hours and offers payroll as an add-on. FieldN runs HR inside the same system — attendance, leave, payroll, timesheets and commissions — next to complaints with SLA timers, parts and stock across warehouses, and an equipment register with service history.
