HouseCall Pro
[HouseCall Pro] would be great for service techs and smaller companies but is tough for companies that do multiple types of jobs, [do] not sync well with QBO for us, and creates an accounting mess. Also does not do job costing so hard to actually keep track of jobs

OctopusPro
This program is used by the nonprofit organization where I work to keep track of and follow up with individuals who are curious about what we do. It's really straightforward to use once you know what functions are available. I spend the entire day on and off OctopusPro, and occasionally I have to train my teammates on its use. When someone new enters your pipeline, the automations make it simple to get in touch with your network. That relieves me of one task while maintaining a personal touch with the recipient of the email or text.
