The honest verdict

If your business already runs on Housecall Pro, CSR AI books calls straight into the system you use every day, and that native fit is worth asking them to price. The price isn't published and it needs a Housecall Pro plan underneath; Conduit publishes every price on its pricing page, books into your Google Calendar on every plan, and never bills past your allowance. Pick CSR AI if Housecall Pro is already your system; pick Conduit if you want a published price and no platform to adopt.

Questions

Common questions

How much does Housecall Pro CSR AI cost?

Housecall Pro doesn't publish a price for it — CSR AI is an optional add-on to its platform, so ask them for one (October 2026, per Housecall Pro's help center). Conduit's plans and packs are all on our pricing page, with no overage billing.

Does Conduit work with Housecall Pro?

No. Conduit books into Google Calendar, two ways. If your jobs live in Housecall Pro and you want calls booked straight into it, CSR AI is the native choice.

Can I switch to Conduit?

Yes. Your number stays yours: build your assistant free, pick a plan when you're ready, and point your call forwarding at your assistant's number. Forwarding is reversible, so switching back is pointing it back. Calls work from day one; texting switches on once carrier registration clears.
