Why ECHOPS
ECHOPS includes 3, 8 or 20 users by plan. Housecall Pro includes 1, 5 or 8, and only MAX adds users, at $35/mo each. Twenty people cost $599/mo on ECHOPS and $749/mo on Housecall Pro MAX billed monthly.
Every ECHOPS plan has the lead board, with follow-ups counted for you and leads from website forms, Google Local Services, Google Ads lead forms and CallRail coming in on their own; Facebook and Instagram lead ads join once Meta finishes its review. Housecall Pro lists its Pipeline board as a paid add-on, depending on plan, with no published price.
Draw rooms to scale with cabinets and export DXF, and turn a room photo into an AI design image (25, 100 or 300 a month by plan). We didn’t find drawing or design tools on Housecall Pro’s public pages.
Besides the client portal, subs and crews get their own portal with scope, change orders and payments, in English or Spanish. Housecall Pro has a customer portal; we didn’t find one for subcontractors.
Team chat plus built-in video meetings: AI writes the minutes, and clients join from their portal. Housecall Pro has in-app chat on every plan; we didn’t find video meetings.
Projects move through stages with checklists, each with its own schedule of tasks and dependencies plus a weekly schedule by PM and sub, and signed change orders bill on their own invoice. Housecall Pro’s pages describe multi-day jobs and change orders, but not project stages.
