Published prices, plan names, marketing features and independent ratings for the platforms U.S. appliance repair owners compare — including what is and is not disclosed for Appliance Marketing Pros.
Owners of independent local service businesses in the United States
Owners of independent appliance repair businesses usually shop two things at once: the software that runs the job (dispatch, invoicing, parts) and the software that fills the calendar (reviews, booking, follow-up, lead sources). The vendors below are the ones documented here for that combined purchase. All prices and ratings were captured on 2026-09-24.
Shortlist
Best for unknown
Pricing Not disclosed
Strengths
Watch for
Best for small appliance repair shops that want published pricing and review management without a long contract
Pricing Basic $59/mo billed annually ($79/mo monthly) with 1 user; Essentials $149/mo annually ($189/mo monthly) with 5 users; Max $299/mo annually ($329/mo monthly) with 8 users and $35/mo per additional user; a fourth custom tier for franchises and multi-location businesses is quote-only. Card processing 'as low as 2.59%'; bank/ACH payments 1%. From 59.00.
Strengths
Watch for
Best for growing appliance repair crews that want marketing add-ons priced explicitly
Pricing Core $49/mo list price with 1 user; Connect from $139/mo (1 user) to $399/mo (15 users); Grow from $199/mo (1 user) to $499/mo (15 users); Plus from $499/mo (5 users) to $699/mo (15 users). Additional users $29/mo on every plan. Add-ons: Marketing Suite $99/mo, Sales Pipeline $49/mo, AI Receptionist $29/mo — all three included on Plus. Payments: cards 2.9% + $0.30, Tap to Pay 2.7% + $0.30, ACH 1%, instant payouts +1%. Annual prepaid Core runs $29/mo at the regular rate; a 'save up to 40%' promotion ran through September 30, 2026. From 49.00.
Strengths
Best for shops that route inbound leads from Angi, Thumbtack and Google and want AI lead and scheduling tools
Pricing Not disclosed on the vendor's own page. Standard, Pro and Ultimate are listed with 'Request pricing' / 'Book a demo' only. Third-party aggregators report Kickstart $225/mo, Standard $275/mo, Pro $325/mo (about $187–$270/mo annual billing), additional users $55–$65/mo, a phone add-on around $100/mo and an AI answering add-on around $200/mo — but those plan names do not appear on the current vendor page, so treat the figures as unconfirmed.
Strengths
Best for larger appliance operations with parts inventory and manufacturer warranty workflows
Pricing Not disclosed. The vendor names Starter, Essentials and The Works but publishes no prices, per-technician rates, user limits or add-on fees; every plan ends in 'Request Pricing', and no free trial is stated. Third-party buyer guides estimate $245–$500 per technician per month (roughly $250 / $398 / $498 across the three tiers) plus one-time implementation fees commonly cited at $5,000–$50,000+ and a typical 12-month minimum contract.
Strengths
Watch for
Best for shops whose main gap is lead follow-up, review generation and campaigns rather than field dispatch
Pricing Starter $97/mo ($970/yr) with 3 sub-accounts; Unlimited $297/mo ($2,970/yr); Agency Pro $497/mo ($4,970/yr); Enterprise quote-only. Unlimited contacts and unlimited users on all plans. Usage charges apply to Conversation AI, Voice AI, Content AI, Funnel AI, Reviews AI, email/SMS and calling at rates not published on the pricing page. Add-ons: AI Employee $50/mo (Growth) or $97/mo (Unlimited) per sub-account, online listings management $30/mo, SEO $79/mo, WhatsApp $10/mo, dedicated email IPs $59/mo each, HIPAA compliance $297/mo, premium support $500/mo, white label mobile app $497/mo, and others. From 97.00.
Strengths
Watch for
Best for shops whose priority is reviews, two-way texting and text-to-pay
Pricing Not disclosed by the vendor. podium.com/pricing and podium.com/getpricing show no self-serve prices ('Get a custom quote for your business'). Third parties report Core $399/mo and Pro $599/mo on annual contracts with Signature custom-quoted, but they disagree on limits: one source caps Core at 4 users and Pro at 5 locations, the other lists unlimited team members on both. Add-ons reported by one source: phone seats $30/user/mo (1–4 users) or $25/user/mo (5+), extra phone numbers $5/mo, a $5/mo 10DLC fee per U.S. location, and a $500 network optimization fee per location for Podium Phones. A third source says there is a single custom quote-only structure with no self-serve pricing at all.

Method
Published price first: any vendor that does not publish a dollar figure on its own site is marked 'not disclosed', with third-party estimates labeled as estimates.
Ratings are taken from the platform that publishes them (Capterra, G2, Trustpilot, app stores), with review counts where published. Where two sources disagree, the range is shown instead of one number.
Appliance-specific fit follows the checks industry guides use: parts catalogs (Marcone, V&V Appliance Parts), ServiceBench warranty claim routing, diagnostic vs. repair time tracking, nameplate photo capture, skill-matched dispatch, and service history tied to the unit serial number.
Promotional prices were live on the Housecall Pro and Jobber pages on 2026-09-24; list rates are what the pages show after the promotional period.
Verdict
There is no published price, plan name, feature list or rating for Appliance Marketing Pros in anything captured here, so the practical comparison is among the platforms appliance repair owners actually price out. For a one- to five-person shop that wants reviews and booking handled without a quote, Housecall Pro starts at $59/mo billed annually and lists review management in its Basic plan. For a growing crew that wants marketing automation with a visible price tag, Jobber publishes every add-on — Marketing Suite $99/mo, AI Receptionist $29/mo, Sales Pipeline $49/mo — and carries the highest independent ratings here (Capterra 4.6/5 from 1,486 reviews). Workiz, ServiceTitan and Podium all publish no prices at all; ServiceTitan is the one named for parts inventory and manufacturer warranty work, which matters when OEM parts lead times run 3–7 days.
Best published-price starting point
Housecall Pro
Basic is $59/mo billed annually ($79/mo monthly) and includes online booking, scheduling and dispatch, estimates and invoicing, payments and consumer financing, and review management. QuickBooks Online sync, photo reports and employee GPS arrive on Essentials at $149/mo annually. 14-day free trial with full Max access, no credit card, no long-term contract.
Best for a growing crew that wants marketing priced in
Jobber
Core starts at $49/mo list ($29/mo annual prepaid at the regular rate), and every marketing module has a published add-on rate: Marketing Suite $99/mo, Sales Pipeline $49/mo, AI Receptionist $29/mo, all included on Plus. Highest independent ratings in this set — Capterra 4.6/5 (1,486 reviews), G2 4.6/5 (527), Trustpilot 4.2/5 (230).
Best for lead follow-up and campaign work
GoHighLevel
Starter is $97/mo with unlimited contacts and unlimited users, and the core bundle is marketing-first: website and funnel builder, CRM and pipelines, email + SMS, Ad Manager, online reputation management, workflow automation. It carries no published independent rating and no published QuickBooks or field service integration, so treat it as the marketing layer rather than the job system.
Best for parts and warranty workflows in a larger shop
ServiceTitan
Named by an industry guide as handling parts inventory tied to scheduling and manufacturer warranty claim routing, the two appliance-specific integrations most general FSM tools need workarounds for. Prices are not disclosed — third-party buyer guides estimate $245–$500 per technician per month plus implementation fees — and there is no stated free trial.
