Housecall Pro and Jobber are priced for crews. If you work alone, 1MinuteBooking books your set-price jobs and quotes the rest, free.
Clients book furniture assembly per item, a light, fan or lock swap, blinds, alarms or a drywall patch, and the address comes with every booking. Book a test job
Bigger repairs and to-do lists come in with the kind of work, a description, the materials and up to 5 photos. You reply with a price and a card payment link. How quote requests work
Clients farther away pay a travel fee, and your drive time is blocked on your calendar. How travel fees work
No add-ons to buy and no per-feature upgrades. Pro, at $10 a month, only adds your branding, Excel export and analytics.
Clients pay a deposit or the full price by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay as they book, straight into your own Stripe account. How it works
Price a quote or a booking you added yourself, and email a link to pay a deposit or the full amount by card. How it works
Clients get the date, time and address by email 24 hours before, or when you choose. How it works
When you mark a booking Completed, the client gets a Book again button with their last booking filled in. How it works
Every booking shows up in Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar, and moves and cancellations update by themselves. How it works
A captcha, connection checks and your own filters send fake requests to a Spam folder, where they never hold a time. How it works
Paste one line of code, and clients request a quote right on your site.

Handymen searching for scheduling apps mostly end up at Housecall Pro and Jobber. They're solid field-service platforms with invoicing and crews, and they're priced for businesses with employees.
If you have a crew, a field-service platform is worth it. If you work on your own, 1MinuteBooking books your set-price jobs and quotes the rest from the client's photos. It's free, with no time limit.
Your booking page with stock photos, bookings and quote requests.
Your logo, your own photos and colors, Excel export and analytics, and no "Powered by" badge.
Handymen with crews often use Housecall Pro or Jobber. A solo handyman mostly needs clients to book the small set-price jobs themselves and describe the bigger ones with photos - 1MinuteBooking does both for free.
1MinuteBooking's free plan has no time limit and covers quote requests with photos, bookings, address collection and travel charges.
Yes - the Handyman Services preset starts with the address required, so it arrives with every quote request and booking.
Yes - the quote form asks what kind of work it is, for a description of the job, roughly how big it is and whether they already have the materials, with up to 5 photos. Every booking also asks them to describe the job (for assembly, the item and brand; for a swap or install, what they have).
Yes - Furniture Assembly starts at $65 per item (up to an hour each), and clients pick how many, so the price and the time scale together. Drywall Patch ($125) takes Additional Hole add-ons at +$30 each for the same visit.
Yes - with location options. The Handyman Services preset starts with "Within 20 miles (30 km) of us" (no charge), "20-40 miles (30-65 km) away" (+$20) and "More than 40 miles (65 km) away - we confirm first" (+$40). Change the names, prices and travel times, or add your own, under Settings > Locations. The drive time blocks your calendar but is never shown to the client.
