Smart Book vs Housecall Pro FAQ
Why compare Smart Book with Housecall Pro?
Service-business owners often compare tools by price, team access, recurring scheduling, estimates, invoicing, payments, and how hard it is to switch. Smart Book's counter-position is one flat $30 monthly Whole Crew plan rather than a price that changes when the business moves into a larger team tier.
Can I import clients into Smart Book?
Yes. Smart Book includes CSV client import, including duplicate handling, plus supported business-data exports so a switch does not have to start with retyping every customer.
Does the Smart Book trial require a credit card?
No. Eligible first-time subscriptions get a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. If no payment method is added before the trial ends, the subscription pauses instead of creating a charge.
