Best Handyman Software

The best handyman software quotes a customer's whole to-do list on one estimate, keeps a day of short visits on one calendar, documents the work with photos and takes payment before you leave, and QuoteIQ does all of that in one app. Standard, options, package and quick estimates are on every plan, the price book holds a flat price for each task you do most, and the AI Estimator, also on every plan, drafts an estimate from a plain description of the job.

The calendar and drag and drop scheduling are on every plan, and assigning jobs to team members is on Pro and up when you add a helper. QuoteIQ Cam photo and video, on Beginner and up, keeps before and after photos with the job, and inspection forms on Beginner and up turn a rental turnover into a checklist. The AI Estimator page shows how an estimate is drafted.

When the work is done, invoices and QuickPay, both on every plan, take payment from a link or a QR code. The QuickBooks Online integration on Pro and up syncs the books, and Review Multiplier on every plan sends the customer to your Google review link right after they pay. Compare every plan on the pricing page.

A handyman usually prices both ways: an hourly rate with a minimum charge or a trip charge for open-ended work, and a flat price per task for the jobs that come up again and again, such as mounting a TV, installing a ceiling fan, swapping a faucet or assembling furniture. Half-day and full-day rates suit a long list at one house, and bigger jobs such as a bathroom refresh are quoted by the job, often with a deposit before materials are bought.

Materials are usually billed at cost plus a markup, and the customer's whole list goes on one estimate so they see every task and the total before you start. Pricing each task the same way every time matters most when a helper quotes for you, and a minimum keeps a small fix from going out at a price that doesn't cover the drive.

In QuoteIQ, the price book holds your flat prices on every plan, a pricing matrix can carry a minimum price, and standard, options, package and quick estimates are on every plan. Job costing, on Pro and up, adds material costs to the estimate and a default markup; the job costing page shows how. The hourly rate calculator is on Pro and up.

Handyman scheduling software should fit several short visits into one day, move a visit when a job runs long and show each person's day, and QuoteIQ does that from one calendar. The calendar and drag and drop scheduling are on every plan, with an Employee Timeline where a visit moves with a drag and can be undone if you change your mind.

On the phone, the day's visits show as a list of who, when and where, so the next stop is one look away between jobs. Google Calendar sync, on Beginner and up, keeps your QuoteIQ day in the calendar you already use, and recurring jobs on every plan keep a landlord's or an HOA's regular visits on the calendar with an end date, so the steady work is booked before the new lists come in.

When you add a helper, assigning jobs to team members is on Pro and up, and the calendar filters to one person so each helper sees only their own visits. The AI Virtual Call Team, on every plan, answers the calls that come in while everyone is on a job. The scheduling page shows how jobs move on the calendar.

A handyman CRM keeps every customer, address, job and photo on one record, so the next time a homeowner texts a list you know what you fixed last time, and QuoteIQ's client database does that on every plan. Every estimate, invoice and job form stays on the customer's record, and a landlord's service addresses stay on one record, with the one you use most starred.

Tags sort customers by the work they buy, such as repeat homeowners or property managers, and the contact list filters by a tag so you can see who is in it. A property manager can be added as an additional contact on the owner's record, and they are added to new documents automatically, so the right person gets every estimate and invoice.

Repeat work also comes from follow ups and reviews. Email and text automation, on Pro and up, sends an email a few days after an estimate is created with the estimate total and link, and Review Multiplier, on every plan, sends the customer to your Google review link right after they pay. The client database page shows how records work.

Handyman business software in QuoteIQ costs $29.99/mo on Essentials for one user, $99.99/mo on Beginner for two users, $199.99/mo on Pro for four users, $299.99/mo on Elite for ten users and $699.99/mo on Max for 20 users. Annual billing is ten times the monthly price, so two months are free.

Pick the plan by how you work. Estimates, the price book, the AI Estimator, the calendar, recurring jobs, the AI Virtual Call Team, invoices, deposits and QuickPay are on every plan. QuoteIQ Cam, inspection forms and mass invoicing start on Beginner. Assigning jobs to team members, job costing, QuickBooks Online and email and text automation start on Pro. Extra users are $25/per-additional-user/mo on every plan, up to 100.

Every plan includes a 14-day free trial, month-to-month billing with no contract, 24/7 live support and the iPhone, Android and web apps. A credit or debit card is required to start. The pricing page lists every plan side by side, and the features list shows what each one includes.

A handyman can let an AI agent answer while their hands are full, and the AI Virtual Call Team in QuoteIQ answers calls 24/7 on every plan. When the call ends, your lock screen shows a notification that opens to the call's summary and transcript, so you know what the caller needs before you call back from the truck.

Teach the agent your business with a text knowledge source: your hourly rate, your minimum charge, the tasks you take on and the towns you serve, so callers get the same answers you would give. You can set the agent's name and greeting, give it its own business number from the area code you choose, and switch it on or off from your phone.

AI tools are included on every plan. ClientHub business numbers for your own calling and texting are on Pro and up, and the client database on every plan keeps each caller's record once you book them. The AI Virtual Call Team page shows how an agent is built and given a number.

Handyman businesses handle property maintenance by putting each property's regular visits on a schedule, keeping the property manager on every job and sending one clear report and invoice, and QuoteIQ handles each part. Recurring jobs on every plan put a regular visit, such as every Tuesday, on the calendar with an end date, and the Jobs board shows each visit of a schedule with its own status.

Turnover work between tenants fits an inspection form: on Beginner and up, build a template with Yes or No points, attach photos to a failed point and text the report link so the property manager reads it on their phone. The property manager can be added as an additional contact on the owner's record, on every plan, and every rental address stays on one record.

Mass invoicing, on Beginner and up, invoices and sends several finished jobs from the Jobs dashboard in one go, and customer card on file, on every plan, charges a saved card without sending a payment link. The inspection forms page shows how reports are built and shared.

It depends on your state and the job, and California shows how a limit works: the California Contractors State License Board says anyone who contracts for work that requires a building permit, uses employee labor, or is valued at $1,000 or more for combined labor and materials must hold a current, valid license from CSLB. Other states set their own thresholds, so check yours before you quote a bigger job.

Some trades need their own license almost everywhere: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that most states require electricians to pass a test and be licensed, and that most states and some localities require plumbers to be licensed. Lead rules apply too: the U.S. EPA says homes built before 1978 are more likely to have lead-based paint and recommends that their owners hire a lead-safe certified contractor.

Check your state and local rules, and have an attorney review your contracts. See the CSLB's What Kind of Contractor Do You Need? page and the EPA's RRP page for consumers. In QuoteIQ, photos and inspection forms (both on Beginner and up) keep a record of each job, and the inspection forms page shows how.

Before and after photos show what the wall, the door or the faucet looked like when you arrived and when you left, so a question a week later can be answered from the job record, and QuoteIQ Cam photo and video does that on Beginner and up. Take job photos, mark one up, make a before and after and text the link, and the customer views the photos on their phone.

Photos can be saved to a job form in the cloud and found later in the Job Archive, and the before and after photo editor, on Beginner and up, puts the two shots side by side in one image. For a rental turnover, an inspection form on Beginner and up lets you attach photos to a failed point on the checklist, so the property manager sees exactly what needs work.

The AI before and after image generator, on every plan, can make an after photo from a before photo inside an estimate, so a customer sees the finished look before they say yes. The before and after photo editor page shows how the images are made and shared.

Yes: QuoteIQ is a handyman app on iPhone, Android and the web, so you can quote, photograph and take payment from your phone while the office works from the desktop. Every plan includes all three apps, and the calendar, estimates and invoices stay in sync between them, so the estimate you send from the driveway is in the office's list too.

On the phone, send a quick estimate by text and email, ask AI CoPilot to add a service you found on site and work out the new total, and make a QuickPay QR code for the customer to scan and pay by card. A paper check can be recorded on the invoice from your phone, and a partial payment shows the balance left to collect.

The QuoteIQ MCP connector, on every plan, also lets ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants work with your QuoteIQ data; set it up in Settings → Automation. The QuickPay page shows how payments work at the door, and the MCP page shows how the connector is set up.
