Houzz Pro is a marketing platform that grew a back office: leads from the Houzz directory, advertising, a client dashboard, mood boards and a 3D floor planner, with estimates, proposals, invoicing and project management behind them — sold by quote, not by a price list. If leads are what you are buying, that is the product. If you already have more enquiries than you can quote, Estiquik does the part that turns them into money: takeoff off the PDF, seven priced renovation templates, the estimate that becomes the invoice, the contract and the change orders, at a published $29.99, billed in Canadian dollars for Canadian accounts.
We would rather put a number beside Houzz Pro's, and we cannot, because Houzz does not publish one. Here is what is public.

Card processing on Estiquik is Stripe's own standard rate (2.9% + 30¢; 2.9% + 30¢ CAD in Canada), charged by Stripe into your own account — Estiquik adds nothing on top. Houzz Pro's payment fees are not compared here because we could not verify them from public material.
Houzz Pro's side is taken from the product categories Houzz lists on its own site. Where we could not verify a detail, we say so.

Sources: Houzz's public product pages (houzz.com/pro) and Capterra's Houzz Pro listing, checked 7 September 2026. Houzz's own pricing page was not reachable on that date and Houzz sells by quote, so the price column is deliberately thin. Houzz and Houzz Pro are trademarks of Houzz Inc., which has no connection with Estiquik. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
So nobody finds out after switching: no lead generation or advertising, no client portal or dashboard, no 3D floor planner or mood boards, no project-management suite with daily logs, no per-user permissions, and Crew stops at ten people. Regional pricing covers the US and Canada only. If the Houzz directory is where your work comes from, keep Houzz Pro — or keep the directory listing and run the paperwork here, which several contractors do.
Clients move as a spreadsheet. Estimates, proposals, projects and design boards do not transfer between any two systems.
Get your client list out as CSV — any file with a header row (name, email, phone, address) imports. How the importer reads columns.
Signed proposals and change orders are your records; save the PDFs. Attach any you want to keep to the client in Estiquik.
Pick kitchen, bathroom, basement or one of the others, check the regional rates against your last job, adjust, send with an Approve button or a signing link.
Link your own Stripe account and the invoice carries a Pay button. Your Houzz directory profile is separate from Houzz Pro software; you can keep the listing and leave the subscription.
Part of Starter, and the 14-day trial needs no card. If you would rather not do it yourself, email the files to support@estiquik.com and we will do the import with you on a call, free.
Houzz does not publish a public price list; plans are quoted by a sales representative. Third-party software directories, as of 7 September 2026, list a Pro plan at $399 a month and describe the other tiers as custom quotes, with a free version and a free trial available. Get a written quote with everything you would use, and read the contract term before you sign.
For the paperwork — takeoff, priced estimates, invoicing with card payments, e-signature, contracts, change orders, expenses, job costing and QuickBooks — yes, at a published price. For the marketing side — leads, advertising, the client dashboard, mood boards and the 3D floor planner — no. Estiquik does not do any of that, and says so.
Houzz Pro is built around the Houzz directory and sells lead management and advertising products; what you get and what it costs depends on your plan and market and is quoted. Estiquik has a pipeline for enquiries you already have and a site-visit booking page, but it does not generate leads.
Yes. A Houzz directory profile is separate from the Houzz Pro software subscription. Several contractors keep the listing for the enquiries it brings and run estimates, invoices and change orders here.
Houzz operates in Canada, but its software pricing is quoted rather than published and is not stated in Canadian dollars on public pages. Estiquik bills Canadian accounts in CAD at a published CAD price and fills in GST, HST and PST by province. Estiquik in Canada.
Clients move as a CSV. Estimates, proposals, projects and design boards do not transfer between any two systems; open estimates are rebuilt from a priced template. Budget an evening.
