What you pay

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).

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.
