Free online booking and scheduling for solo and small service businesses

A Jobber alternative for solo businesses that mostly need booking

Jobber runs a field service business end to end: quotes, jobs, invoices and crews. If you work alone and mainly need clients to book and request quotes online, you may not need all of it.

What Jobber does that 1MinuteBooking doesn't

Start here, because it decides whether switching makes sense.

Invoices. 1MinuteBooking prints receipts for each booking but doesn't send invoices or chase payments.
Quote documents. Clients send you quote requests and you reply with a price, but there are no formal quote documents to approve.
Teams. One account is one person with one calendar. There are no crew members or dispatching.
Calendar sync and reminders. There's no two-way calendar sync and no automatic reminder texts or emails.

If those are why you pay for Jobber, keep it. If you mostly use it so clients can book, read on.

What you get, free

A booking page priced by the job

Clients pick services and add-ons and see the price and the time it takes add up as they go.

Quote requests with photos

Your questions and up to 5 photos per request, for work you can't price up front.

Travel fees by distance

Distance bands with an extra price, and drive time that blocks your calendar.

Deposits by card

Optional Stripe deposits or full payment when clients book, into your own Stripe account.

Clients and history

A client list with each client's bookings, notes, and repeat bookings in one click with Duplicate booking.

Spam protection

hCaptcha, VPN and proxy flags, and IP, country and word filters on every booking.

Who should switch

A good fit

Solo cleaners, handymen, detailers, groomers and pressure washers who mainly need clients to book, request quotes and pay a deposit.

Not a good fit

Businesses with crews, invoice-heavy commercial work, or anyone who relies on automatic reminders and calendar sync.

Setting up takes minutes: pick your trade and your services, add-ons, prices and quote questions are filled in. Share your link on Google, Instagram or your website.

Questions

Is there a free version of Jobber?

Jobber's pricing page lists paid plans and a 14-day free trial, not a free plan. 1MinuteBooking's free plan has no time limit.

Can 1MinuteBooking send invoices?

No. Each booking has a printable receipt, and you can record payments, but there's no invoicing.

Does it work for cleaning businesses and handymen?

Yes. Both start with services, add-ons, prices and quote questions for the trade, which you can edit.

Can I take deposits?

Yes. Connect your own Stripe account and require a deposit or the full price when clients book.

Can I add my existing clients?

Yes. Add clients yourself, and log phone or walk-in bookings with New booking.
