Updated 2026-09-16. No ranked winner.
Workiz is a horizontal field-service platform with Request pricing and a pressure-washing industry page. Housecall Pro is a horizontal FSM with a pressure-washing industry page and Basic at $59/$79. Those units are not interchangeable, so this page does not name a winner. Figures are from vendor pages checked 2026-09-16. We have not tested either app.

Two products
This is two horizontal field-service platforms, each with a pressure-washing industry page. A PW URL is not a wash-native spec sheet. One hides the monthly floor behind Request pricing. The other prints Basic / Essentials / MAX stickers. You cannot subtract a quote from a published seat card and get a breakeven.
See the Workiz and Housecall Pro profiles for documented functions, still without a field test. This page is a two-product comparison only.
Horizontal FSM versus Jobber stays on Workiz vs Jobber and Housecall Pro vs Jobber. Workiz versus a wash-oriented Solo/Team app stays on Workiz vs Opervo. Named-plan versus Housecall Pro stays on QuoteIQ vs Housecall Pro. Wash-native versus Housecall Pro stays on Opervo vs Housecall Pro. Soft-wash chemistry notes stay on the soft wash guide and the small-team soft-wash CRM guide. $0 language stays on the free software guide.
How you pay
Workiz sells named plans with Request pricing and no public monthly dollar. Housecall Pro sells named plans with a fixed included-user count and a published MAX extra-user add-on. Those are different units.
On 2026-09-16, Workiz /pricing-plans still showed Standard / Pro / Ultimate with Request pricing, while Housecall Pro /pricing still showed Basic $59/$79, Essentials $149/$189 (5 users), and MAX $299/$329 (8 users) with MAX extra $35/mo.
| Plan | Public monthly floor | What the fetched matrix lists |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Request pricing | Scheduling, invoices, jobs, estimates, QuickBooks listed |
| Pro | Request pricing | Genius Scheduling (AI) on the Pro matrix |
| Ultimate | Request pricing | Sales proposals and service plans on the Ultimate card |
Seat dollars are a GAP. Included-user counts and extra-seat dollars are not published. Genius Phone, Genius Answering, and Genius Marketing are sold separately with no published dollar. The annual discount is described only as “save $400+.” Confirm add-ons and users in a written quote.
| Plan | Users included | Extra users | Annual (per mo) | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 1 | n/a | $59 | $79 |
| Essentials | 5 | GAP (not printed on this fetch) | $149 | $189 |
| MAX | 8 | $35/mo each | $299 | $329 |
The 1-user floor is Basic at $59/month billed annually or $79/month monthly. MAX extra users print *$35/mo per additional user on the live card. Essentials on-card overage beyond 5 users was not printed tonight. That overage is a GAP. Do not reuse stale $100 Essentials or $75 MAX extra-user figures from older fetches. Pricing-page promo badges are marketing, not sticky floors. Prefer $59/$79 · $149/$189 · $299/$329.
Worked examples (published units only)
These rows use only published subscription units. They are arithmetic framing, not a field test and not a winner.
A. Workiz Request pricing versus Housecall Pro Basic $59/$79. Workiz Standard / Pro / Ultimate cards print Request pricing and no public monthly dollar. Housecall Pro Basic is $59/month billed annually or $79/month monthly for 1 user. A card with pricing on request is not the same stack as a one-user Basic sticker. Do not invent a Workiz monthly floor.
B. Workiz Request pricing versus Housecall Pro Essentials $149/$189 / 5 users. Housecall Pro Essentials is $149/$189 for 5 included users. Workiz included seats and extra-user dollars stay a GAP. Do not invent a Workiz seat total. Do not invent a six-user Essentials total. Do not invent an Essentials versus Pro breakeven.
C. Housecall Pro MAX $299/$329 plus $35 versus Workiz seat GAP. MAX is $299/$329 for 8 included users, then $35/month per additional user. Workiz seat math stays unpublished. Do not invent a nine-user Workiz total. Do not invent a MAX-plus-one versus Ultimate breakeven.
Processing fees
PressureWashStack does not earn commissions or affiliate revenue. Links on this page are ordinary vendor URLs, not tracking links. See the affiliate disclosure.
Wash-day tools
Satellite takeoff, chemistry, routing, and proposals sit on different published units. Do not treat a row on one card as a row on the other.
QuickBooks
Direction, objects, unpaid invoices, and Desktop stay on the QuickBooks guide. This page locks the published gates.
Seats, booking, SMS, trial
Those offers are not interchangeable refund guarantees. A 7-day preview is not a 14-day MAX preview.
Who each fits
These are fit notes against published units and documented claims. They are not awards. Who each fits depends on Request-pricing scale / Desktop QBO / Genius surface versus published sticker floors / plan-gated Routes+QBO / published processing fees.

QuoteIQ versus Housecall Pro stays on QuoteIQ vs Housecall Pro. Opervo versus Housecall Pro stays on Opervo vs Housecall Pro. CrewNest versus Housecall Pro stays on CrewNest vs Housecall Pro. CrewNest versus Workiz stays on CrewNest vs Workiz. The wider solo set, including $0 tools and tools with pricing on request, stays on the solo operator guide.

What we did not do
