Why solo pros pick Hardyproof
- One link does the front office: a request form with photos, a tracking page for each customer, proposals, invoices and receipts.
- Your customers need no app and no account. It works on any phone.
- Fully bilingual: your inbox in Spanish or English, your customers' form and pages in either, with translation built in.
- Money goes straight to you. We never process payments, so there's no cut.
- Set up in an afternoon, with nothing to learn that you don't use.
When Housecall Pro is the better fit
- You want card payments processed inside the software.
- You run several trucks and need dispatching, GPS or route planning.
- You need accounting integrations such as QuickBooks.
- You want a dedicated mobile app for your techs.
We'd rather you pick the right tool. If that's you, they're a solid choice.
Questions
Can I bring my current jobs?
Yes. Add open jobs by hand with "+ New job", and share your new request form for everything after that.
Do I need to cancel anything to try it?
No. Try Hardyproof free for 30 days alongside what you use now. No card needed.
Can my customers pay by card?
Through Venmo, Cash App or PayPal, customers can pay with a card inside their own app. Hardyproof itself doesn't process cards.
