Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Housecall Pro considered more expensive than MicroFreelanceHub?

Housecall Pro 'double-dips' by charging a subscription fee while making you pay the credit card processing fees out of your own pocket. MicroFreelanceHub offers a Pass-Through Fee toggle that shifts that 3.9% cost to the client, saving you thousands in annual revenue.

How does the Pass-Through Fee toggle actually work?

Unlike Housecall Pro where you lose 3% of every invoice, you simply check a box in MicroFreelanceHub to add the 3.9% processing fee to the client's total. Stripe takes their cut from that addition, leaving your original project price untouched and 100% in your bank account.

Do I have to pay to try MicroFreelanceHub like I do with Housecall Pro?

No. Housecall Pro wants your credit card immediately, but MicroFreelanceHub lets you manage your first 3 projects entirely for free. You only pay the flat $29/month Pro fee when you're ready to scale to unlimited projects.
