ResponsiBid alternative for home service pros

Zippy Pro vs ResponsiBid

ResponsiBid is quoting software for home-service companies: an instant-quote calculator you install on your website, with follow-up automation, a sales pipeline and integrations with scheduling tools such as Jobber and Housecall Pro.

Zippy Pro is the app for home-service pros: customers book and pay on zippydoes.com, Zippy prices the job and gathers the details, and you claim the job with one tap and get paid when you finish — for $2/mo, deducted from the first job you complete each month — nothing in a month you don’t work.

Which one is right for you?

ResponsiBid is probably the right call if…

  • •You sell higher-ticket quotes with bundles and upsells, such as window or pressure washing packages
  • •You already have steady website traffic or phone leads and want to close more of them
  • •You want a coach to set the system up with you

Zippy Pro is the right call if…

  • •You don’t want to build or maintain a quoting system — Zippy prices every job instantly
  • •You’d rather not pay a $500–$600 setup fee plus $179 and up every month before your first job
  • •You want booking, payment and customer details handled in the same place as the quote

Using both

You don’t have to choose on day one. Keep ResponsiBid if it’s working, give your customers your personal Zippy link, and let Zippy price, book and collect for the jobs that come through it. Those jobs are reserved for you first, and new Zippy customers in your area show up on your map too. Zippy charges nothing in a month you don’t complete a job.
