## Where HouseCall Pro Falls Short
1. **No built-in dialer.** Your sales team needs a separate tool for outbound calling.
2. **Add-on pricing.** Features like flat-rate price books cost extra on top of your subscription.
3. **Limited CRM.** Basic client management without pipeline stages or lead scoring.
4. **No white-label.** Cannot be rebranded for agency clients.
## Chillead - Complete Platform at Half the Price
Chillead was designed to be the platform HouseCall Pro users upgrade to when they need more power. Every feature is included in the base price.
**Pricing:** $49/mo flat. No per-user fees. No add-on costs.
