Each plan caps your users
Housecall Pro's plans each include a set number of users, and growing past that means a bigger plan or a monthly charge per extra user.
Clipboard Zero is one flat monthly price for your whole company, plus a one-time setup. Every tech and every office person is included. Hire more people and the bill stays the same.
Commercial work doesn't fit a homeowner app
Clipboard Zero handles residential and commercial customers. A commercial customer can have many sites, its own rates and markup, a not-to-exceed amount, and its own work order numbers. If a client requires ServiceChannel or CorrigoPro, keep using it: the work order number goes on the ticket. More on client portals →
Invoices still get typed by hand
The tech snaps the receipt and writes what they did. The AI reads both, works out what was used on that job and drafts the invoice, priced from your own price book, never made up. Each line shows where its price came from, like "cost $3.49 + 30%". Nothing goes out until your office approves it. How AI invoicing works →
