One login for the whole business
AI is included, not an upsell
An AI receptionist that answers calls and books jobs comes with every Kanavu plan. On Housecall Pro the AI and much of the marketing are paid add-ons that stack onto the base price.
One suite, one bill
Reviews, social, campaigns, referrals, loyalty, a website and an AI chatbot are all in Kanavu. Piecing the same set together elsewhere means several tools and several invoices.
Free to start, flat to grow
Kanavu has a free-forever plan and flat paid tiers. No per-seat creep, and the features you saw at signup don't move behind a higher plan later.
