Housecall Pro (CA)
Tier S · Published pricesSan Diego field service software used by Canadian pros, priced in USD, with some payment and tax features US-only

Canada note
Housecall Pro's pricing page says all prices are in USD and exclude sales tax. Its help center says card readers, ACH payments, Wisetack consumer financing and Automated Sales Tax are not available to Canadian businesses, and Instapay instant payouts are capped at $10,000 per transaction for Pros in Canada, against $50,000 in the US. Only one tax rate can be applied to an invoice at a time, which matters in provinces that charge GST and PST separately.
Jobber (Canadian-founded)
Tier S · Published pricesField service software founded in Edmonton, sold in Canada with plans listed in US dollars
Jobber is field service management software for home and commercial service businesses, founded in 2011 in Edmonton by Sam Pillar and Forrest Zeisler. It is privately held; General Atlantic led its $100 million USD Series D in 2023. Jobber says more than 100,000 businesses and 400,000 service pros in over 50 industries and more than 70 countries use it, and its careers page lists office hubs in Edmonton, Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo and Vancouver.
Pros
- + Canadian company: founded in Edmonton, with office hubs in Edmonton, Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo and Vancouver
- + Published pricing, from $49/mo month-to-month and less when billed annually
- + Several tax rates can be grouped and shown as separate lines on quotes and invoices
- + 14-day free trial of the Grow plan with no credit card
Cons
- − Plans are listed in US dollars, not CAD
- − Sales tax is added to the subscription where the province taxes SaaS
- − Extra users cost $29/mo each, so the bill rises with crew size
- − No French-language support advertised on the pages we read
Canada note
Jobber's help center says its pricing plans are listed in USD, and sales tax is added to the subscription when the billing address is in a province that taxes software as a service. For client invoices, Jobber lets you set up several tax rates and combine them into a tax group that shows each rate separately, so GST and PST can appear as separate lines, and a tax ID such as a GST number can print on every invoice. The Jobber pages we read do not advertise CAD pricing or French-language support.
