Outgrew per-seat pricing? This is your next move.
HCP charges more every time you hire. Ormi doesn't. An 10-tech shop pays $400/month on Ormi — same as a 50-tech shop. That's $7,092/year vs HCP MAX and the gap grows with every new hire.
Housecall Pro is a solid tool for solo operators. The math changes when you grow.

What Housecall Pro does better today
We'd rather lose the sale than oversell. Here's where HCP earns its spot.
Homeowner lead marketplace (Pro Plus)
HCP's lead-gen network for homeowners is a real differentiator. If you rely on it today, weigh that directly.
Brand recognition with homeowners
HCP markets to homeowners through TV and digital spend. Some customers recognize the brand — we don't.
Longer track record in solo / 1-tech shops
If you're a solo contractor happy with HCP Basic ($79), the math is close. Our pitch gets sharper at 3+ techs.
Why shops switch
It's almost always one of these four.
Per-seat pricing punishes growth
Hire a sixth tech and HCP pushes you from Essentials ($189) to MAX (quote-based). With Ormi, five techs or fifty techs hit the same $400/mo cap.
You outgrew the Essentials feature ceiling
Recurring plans, advanced reporting, and team permissions live on MAX. Ormi ships everything on the $1/job base — no upsell path.
You want pricing that stays put
No tier upgrades surprise you next quarter. No per-seat creep. The number on the homepage is the number on your bill.
You're done with 'Add-on for X'
Every module a line item is the HCP pattern. Ormi ships the core platform — scheduling, invoicing, estimates, mobile, payments, communications, reporting — at the base.
Switch in an afternoon

What every HCP customer asks
We're on HCP Basic or Essentials — will Ormi be too much?
Usually the opposite. Ormi is designed to be no more complex than HCP while unlocking features you'd otherwise have to upgrade to MAX for. If you hit any rough edges, reach out via /contact-us — we reply same-day.
What about the Pro Plus homeowner marketplace?
Straight answer: we don't have an equivalent today. If that marketplace is a meaningful lead source for you, keep HCP for that piece or tell us what you need — this feedback shapes our roadmap.
Do recurring / membership plans work?
Yes — recurring jobs, maintenance programs, and renewal reminders are standard. You can migrate existing plans directly, even the ones HCP gates behind MAX.
Is there a limit on how many users or locations?
No user cap, no location cap. The $400/mo cap is the only cap we have — and it works in your favor.
What about card processing fees?
Standard rates (comparable to HCP Payments). Ormi does not mark them up. Our platform fee is $1/job — card processing is a separate, transparent line.
