Ranqly vs Housecall Pro
This is the comparison owners ask about most, and it is mostly a category mistake. Housecall Pro is field-service management with marketing features. Ranqly is marketing software that connects to field-service management. They sit on opposite sides of the phone call.

Pick Housecall Pro if
The operation is the problem: double-booked techs, estimates on paper, invoices sent late. Fix that first. Its marketing features will reach the customers already in the system, which is useful but is not the same as being found by new ones.
Pick Ranqly if
The operation runs fine and the problem is demand. Ranqly does the work that makes a homeowner find and choose the company before the first call, and reports which piece of that work produced each lead. It does not replace a field-service platform and was designed to sit alongside one.
Using both
This is the common setup: a field-service platform as the system of record and Ranqly feeding it. Ranqly integrates with ServiceTitan directly; leads and customers created by Ranqly land there with the service location and campaign attached.

Does Housecall Pro do marketing?

Does Ranqly replace Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan?
No. Ranqly is not scheduling, dispatch, or invoicing software. It connects to ServiceTitan and is meant to run beside a field-service platform.
Which should a new HVAC company buy first?
If jobs are already coming in and getting lost in the shuffle, field-service software. If the trucks are idle because the phone is quiet, marketing software. Many companies end up with one of each within the first year.
