Why consider OptimizeIt?
Less starting over. More moving forward.
Start with the job evidence
Opti helps organize supported photos, plans and job descriptions into editable estimate scope. You review uncertain quantities and pricing.
Keep the next action close
Quotes, signatures, booking and rescheduling remain connected to projects. Signing a quote is not automatically a booking or a payment.
Choose how Opti follows up
Lead Desk starts with Drafts only. Instant replies and eligible callbacks are optional, with channel, consent and plan requirements.
Test a representative job, check the connections you need and confirm your data-import scope. Do not cancel your current software until the replacement workflow is verified.
Good questions
Know before you start.
Does Housecall Pro include AI?
Yes. Housecall Pro describes an AI Team and distinguishes included AI teammates from CSR AI, its optional phone-answering add-on. Official marketing and help material differ on some booking details, so confirm the capabilities live in your account rather than assuming every advertised action is available.
Does OptimizeIt include an AI Voice Agent on every plan?
No. Pro includes AI Voice Agent access. Plus includes the phone system without the AI agent. Agent minutes are separate from ordinary phone minutes; check current plan allowances and routing settings.
Can I move my existing customer data?
Discuss your available exports and required records with our team before switching. Confirm the import scope, custom fields and integrations, and check a sample before cancelling your existing system. We do not promise every record or integration transfers automatically.
What happens after the free trial?
14-day free trial. No credit card required to start. Saved work becomes view-only after an unpaid trial expires. Choose a plan and enter payment details to continue. No automatic charge.
Is annual billing required?
No. Month-to-month has no annual commitment. Annual options have a 12-month commitment, billed monthly or paid up front. Compare full totals and signed terms on the pricing page.
