Service Fusion: 41 of 150. Housecall Pro: 108 of 150. Same ten buyer questions, same five engines, same day. There was no question where Service Fusion was named and Housecall Pro was not. All five engines named Service Fusion at least once.

Housecall Pro is the most named checked vendor in field service management software in this release, so every other vendor in the category is compared with it.

One capture on 22 September 2026, ten fixed questions, three runs per engine. Not a ranking, and an engine can answer differently on a refresh.
