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, from $99 a month on an annual subscription. 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, nine priced renovation templates, the estimate that becomes the invoice, the contract and the change orders, for $29.99 a month, billed in Canadian dollars for Canadian accounts.
Houzz now publishes its plan prices, so here they are next to ours, as each company listed them on 15 October 2026.

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 pricing page, pricing guide and marketing page, checked 15 October 2026. Until that date this page described Houzz Pro as quote-based, from Capterra’s listing and Houzz’s product pages on 7 September 2026; Houzz now publishes its prices. 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 3D floor planner or mood boards, no Gantt-style schedule, 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 now publishes its prices. On 15 October 2026 its pricing page listed Design at $99 a month, Pro at $199 (adding takeoffs, change orders, budgets and contracts) and Teams from $399 with unlimited users; Design and Pro include one user, and extra users are $50 a month. Canadian visitors see CA$139, CA$279 and from CA$559. There is a free plan and a 30-day free trial, after which an annual subscription begins. Advertising is a separate package from $499 a month. Read the term before you sign.
For the paperwork and the running of the job — takeoff, priced estimates, invoicing with card payments, e-signature, contracts, change orders, expenses, job costing, crew hours, selections, a client portal and QuickBooks — yes, at a published price. For the marketing and design side — leads, advertising, 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. Lead management is part of the software, its Teams plan adds marketing tools, and targeted advertising is a separate package from $499 a month, with the final price given on request. 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, and its pricing page shows Canadian visitors prices in Canadian dollars: CA$139, CA$279 and from CA$559 a month on 15 October 2026. Estiquik bills Canadian accounts in CAD (CA$24.99, CA$34.99 or CA$79.99 a month) and fills in GST, HST and PST by province. Estiquik in Canada.
