Houzz
Houzz connects homeowners with home professionals, tools, resources, and vendors for renovation and design. Houzz Pro is intended for professionals in remodeling and design, with estimates, invoicing, a 3D Floor Planner, online payments, assemblies, and CRM in its Pro plan. Its contract builder offers templates, electronic signatures, reminders, and activity tracking. A browser extension saves products from supplier websites to the Houzz Pro product library. The mobile app covers project and lead management, estimates, proposals, invoices, schedules, tasks, time and expenses, time clocks, and daily logs; project data is accessible offline when connectivity is disrupted or unavailable. Houzz lists integrations including QuickBooks Online, iCloud, Google, Office 365, Exchange, Outlook, Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, Gmail, Gusto, and Zapier. Zapier imports leads and projects into Houzz Pro but does not export data from it. A free plan includes a 3D Floor Planner, estimates, and invoicing. Pro is $249 a month after a 30-day free trial. Online payment fees are 3.5% for credit cards and 1% for ACH.
