The honest take
Housecall Pro handles the back end of the job: scheduling, invoicing, payments. CHIIRP handles the front end: making sure the lead gets answered in seconds, the missed call gets recovered, the estimate gets followed up, and the past customer gets reactivated. You keep Housecall Pro. You add CHIIRP.
