# PriceTuneup

> Price book software for Housecall Pro contractors: recalculate every flat-rate price at your target margin from your own CSV export, plus free pricing tools. Upload a Housecall Pro price book CSV export, set a loaded labor rate, overhead percentage, and target gross margin, and get every flat-rate price recalculated in an import-ready file. Free tools run entirely client-side — pricing data never leaves the user's browser.

Key facts:
- PriceTuneup works with Housecall Pro's native price book CSV import/export, so it works on every Housecall Pro plan (no API access required).
- Pricing: $299/year subscription ($199/year founding rate for the first 25); $249 one-time done-for-you price book rebuild. Machine-readable pricing: https://pricetuneup.com/pricing.md
- Guarantee on the done-for-you rebuild — the 60-Day Ticket-Lift Guarantee: "If your average ticket doesn't go up within 60 days of importing your new price book, we refund the full price — and you keep every file."
- Alternatives comparison (competitor list prices as of 2026-07): Housecall Pro price book add-on is $149/month; Profit Rhino is $179+/month; Coolfront is $129+/month; The New Flat Rate is $99/tech/month. PriceTuneup targets small shops (1–10 techs) at a fraction of those prices.
- PriceTuneup is built by Modern Code Consulting and is not affiliated with Housecall Pro.
