Why contractors leave Houzz Pro

Houzz Pro looks polished, but it was built for homeowners first. Here's what contractors tell us every week.

Built for homeowners, not builders

Houzz Pro started as a home design marketplace. The project management features were added later, and it shows. You get great client-facing tools but weak back-office management where you actually run your business.

Weak scheduling tools

No Gantt charts. No resource allocation across crews. No drag-and-drop timeline views. If you're running multiple projects with overlapping crews, Houzz Pro won't keep up with your schedule.

No time tracking

Houzz Pro doesn't offer built-in time tracking at all. You're left using a separate app or paper timesheets, which means inaccurate labor costs and extra work every payroll cycle.

No real job costing

Without time tracking and proper cost tracking, you can't see if a job is making or losing money until it's too late. Houzz Pro gives you pretty proposals but no real-time budget visibility.

No geofencing

There's no GPS verification for crew attendance. You have no way to confirm who showed up to which job site and when, which makes labor tracking a guessing game.

Field crews get left behind

Houzz Pro's mobile experience is designed around client communication and design boards. Your field crews need task lists, schedules, time clocks, and daily logs, not mood boards and material selections.

What Projul offers instead

Built for contractors, not homeowners

Projul was designed from day one to help contractors run their business. Estimating, scheduling, time tracking, job costing, and field management are all core features, not afterthoughts.

Full scheduling with Gantt charts

Drag-and-drop Gantt charts, calendar views, and 7 total scheduling views. Manage crews across multiple projects and adjust timelines instantly when things change.

Built-in time tracking

Clock-in and clock-out right from the mobile app. Track labor hours by project, phase, or cost code. Get accurate payroll data without chasing timesheets.

Real-time job costing

See budgeted vs. actual costs as the job progresses. Track materials, labor, and subs against your estimate so you know if you're on budget before it's too late.

Geofenced time tracking

GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out confirms who's on site and when they arrived. No more guessing, no more honor system timesheets.

Native mobile app for field crews

Real iOS and Android apps from the App Store and Google Play. Schedules, tasks, time tracking, photos, and daily logs built for the job site. Also available in Spanish.

Flat-rate pricing, 13,000+ locations

No per-user or per-lead fees. One monthly price, unlimited projects. Trusted by 13,000+ contractor locations and rated 9.8/10 on G2 for ease of use.
