Not yet. Housecall Pro lets customers book and pay online on every plan, with card fees from 2.59% and 1% on bank payments. Reputane has no online booking and doesn’t take payments itself today.
Can my crews use it in Spanish?
Yes, in both. Housecall Pro’s app is listed in English and Spanish. In Reputane, each person picks a language for the whole app: the crew phone and the most-used office screens are translated, and settings and invoicing are mostly English for now.

Your customers, once the import is on (it’s built and switching on). An admin exports the Customers list, and Reputane reads it directly, with the columns already matched, a dry run and a 24-hour Undo: customers, contacts and service addresses come across. Jobs and invoices don’t; that import isn’t built.
Can I connect other apps or AI?
Housecall Pro’s open API is on Max. Reputane’s open API and its MCP server, which lets Claude and other AI apps read your records and suggest changes you approve, come with every plan.
