Five products, five different owners. If you watch a handful of homes, HomeWatchOS is free and Qridit or Home Watcher are cheap. If you want a tool built only for home watch and you are growing, Home Watch IT. If you run technicians on routes, bill hundreds of homes every month, or run pool and lawn on the same trucks, ProValet is built for that, and it collects the money for you.

Updated October 19, 2026. ProValet pricing.
ProValet runs the business, not just the visit: the schedule builds itself from each client's service plan, the technician works from the app, the report lands in the client's Homeowner App, the invoice goes out when the work is done, and AutoPay collects it. Estimates and down payments cover concierge and one-off jobs. We move you over ourselves. It costs more than the four apps below; you are paying for the part none of them do, which is getting paid without chasing. Best for: two or more technicians, 150+ properties, monthly billing, or pool and lawn on the same trucks.
vs Home Watch IT · vs HomeWatchOS · vs Qridit · vs Home Watcher
Built only for home watch and the most complete home-watch-only app here: checklists, photo and video reports that work offline, recurring scheduling with route optimization, and a client app included. Invoices come out of reports. Pricing grows by user, never by client. Where ProValet beats it: payments run on AutoPay instead of through a QuickBooks or Stripe hand-off, and it cannot run your pool or lawn routes. Best for: a home-watch-only company that wants the deepest purpose-built tool.
Free for up to 3 homes. Pro is $67 a month, or $27 if you upgrade within your first 17 days as a founding member; $670 a year on annual. Pro includes unlimited properties and team members, AI visit summaries, branded PDF reports, video messages, automatic review requests after every visit, and a listing in the HomeWatchOS directory. No contracts, no per-seat fees. Where ProValet beats it: a route structure for a technician crew with its own app, estimates and down payments for concierge work, and payment collected automatically, none of which HomeWatchOS states. Best for: a solo operator who wants a free or low-cost tool and a directory listing.
Essentials is $50 a month for up to 20 clients and 3 users; Pro starts from $65 with unlimited clients and users and priority phone support; 30-day free trial on both. Reports capture date, time and GPS; clients get a dashboard and a free app; visit scheduling with a client booking calendar; invoicing, card payments and QuickBooks built in. Recurring service plans and automatic payment are not stated. Where ProValet beats it: the operator who has hit the 20-client, 3-user wall and needs plans that schedule themselves and invoices that collect themselves. Best for: a small operator comfortable inside those limits who wants a trial and self-setup.
One plan, $49 a month, everything included: GPS-verified visits with photos and signatures, branded reports, invoicing, online payments, recurring billing, a client portal and e-signed contracts. It takes no cut of payments beyond Stripe's fee. Team limits are not published. Where ProValet beats it: a client app rather than a portal and texted PDFs, and routes for multiple technicians. Best for: a solo operator or small team that wants the lowest flat price and a clean report.
