In this promotional video, Mike Andes explains why the advertised price of a CRM often hides additional costs from required third‑party tools. He illustrates the hidden expense by adding up the monthly fees for CompanyCam ($300+), Zapier ($20‑30), and MailChimp ($300) for a typical growing home‑service business with ten employees, showing a total of over $600 before even paying for a CRM. Andes then presents HomeWorks’ Growth plan, which bundles photo/video capture, mass email and text, scheduling, dispatching, automations, and API/MCP access for $299 per month for up to ten users, positioning it as a single‑solution alternative. He emphasizes that HomeWorks was built by a home‑service business owner to reduce software sprawl. The video concludes with a call‑to‑action offering a free first month via a 4‑digit code and an additional free month if onboarding is completed within 30 days, with free data import and setup assistance.

If you think your CRM costs you a couple hundred bucks a month, I want you to add up everything you had to buy because your CRM couldn't do it. Let's use a pretty normal growing home service business with 10 employees. You want good site photos and videos, so you add CompanyCam. At current monthly pricing, if you use their crew plan with 10 users, it's over $300 per month. And then maybe you add Zapier so you can have the software talk to other software. That's gonna be $20 or $30 a month. And then you want marketing, so you add in MailChimp, and that's like another $300. So you can do mass email and mass text messages to, you know, maybe 5,000 contacts you have in your database. You're already spending over $600 per month with just those 3 software packages, and we haven't even paid for the actual CRM yet. That's what drives me crazy about a lot of software. The advertised price looks reasonable, and then you have to keep buying other apps just to build the system you actually need. Homework's growth plan is $299 a month and includes up to 10 users. Your field team can capture video, high-definition video up to 12 minutes long. You can email your customer database, send out mass text messages. You have scheduling, dispatching, and automations in the same system. And when you want to build something more custom, you have MCP and API access instead of needing another patch between systems. I built HomeWorks for home service companies because I own home service companies. I wanted fewer places for my employees to go and fewer pieces of software that somebody has to keep duct taping together.
