Choosing Handyman Software: What to Check Before You Switch
Start With Your Real Jobs
Write down three real jobs from last month: a half-day honey-do list, a single repair, and something for a landlord. Then test each system against them.
The Checklist
- Can a job carry a list of tasks the tech can see and tick off?
- Can the tech log hours and materials on the job?
- Are before and after photos saved with the job?
- Can you see waiting jobs on a map and assign them to a van?
- Can customers approve estimates online?
- Is the invoice created when the job is done, with a card on file?
- Can one client have many addresses and one monthly statement?
- Does the tech app work without an app store download?
Price at Your Size
Compare price today and at twice your size. Watch for per-user fees and paid add-ons for basic things like the tech app.
Try It With Real Data

The Real Test
The right system is the one you and your techs actually use every day. If it takes more than a minute per job, it won't last.
