Houzz Pro alternative: D&B Operating System compared honestly
Updated 25 Oct 2026
Houzz Pro is business software for home-improvement and design professionals, connected to the Houzz marketplace, with estimates, proposals, invoicing, a 3D floor planner and selections. The D&B Operating System runs the business side of interior design and design-and-build firms: CRM, BOQ quotations, projects, site updates, team roles, GST invoicing and payments, on the firm's own domain. Which fits depends on how your firm works.
