Common Pain Points
Expensive for what designers actually use
Houzz Pro starts at $65/month and quickly climbs to $149+. Many users only use a fraction of the features but pay for the full platform.
How Swatcha helps:
One affordable plan focused entirely on selection schedules. No paying for lead generation, 3D planning, or marketing tools you don't need.
Jack of all trades, master of none
Houzz Pro tries to be CRM, project management, accounting, 3D designer, and specification tool. The selection schedule workflow suffers from this spread.
How Swatcha helps:
Swatcha does one thing exceptionally well: turn supplier quotes into beautiful, branded selection schedules.
Locked into the Houzz ecosystem
Using Houzz Pro means working within their platform for everything. Your data, your clients, your projects — all tied to Houzz.
How Swatcha helps:
Swatcha is a standalone tool. Use it alongside whatever project management, CRM, or accounting tools you prefer.
No AI-powered data extraction
Despite the platform's size, importing product data from supplier quotes still requires manual entry or browsing their product directory.
How Swatcha helps:
Upload any supplier document and AI extracts product details, names, SKUs, and quantities automatically.
