Estimate only — competitor card rates vary by plan and processor. Wocket fees use Solo dual-cap math ($1,000 or 10 taps, then 2.25% + $0.20). Competitor side assumes a flat ~2.9% on in-person card volume only (no software fee delta). Online/invoice-link cards are separate (2.9% + $0.30 on Wocket from dollar one).
Competitor prices and plan names change. Figures below are typical public list ranges for comparison, not a quote. Confirm with each vendor before you buy.
Features
Side by side
Housecall Pro wins on brand recognition and payment plumbing many techs already use. Wocket wins when you want a real workspace first, flat Solo pricing, and zero-fee in-person taps up to a clear dual-cap — instead of paying a card rate on every job-site swipe.
