Handyman software that's free for a one-person business.
Small jobs booked online, a quote in a minute, an invoice or a quick payment request sent from the driveway, and a client list that remembers everything. WorkBench FSM is free field service management software, and a solo operator is exactly who the free plan is for.
How it works
Booked without the phone tag
Your booking page shows real open times. A new request lands on the calendar with the client's details and the confirmation already sent.
Quote, or just get paid
Build a quote when the job needs one. For the small stuff, Request payment makes a pay link you send from the driveway.
Every client, remembered
Jobs, notes, photos, quotes, and invoices live on the client, and they can see their history and pay from their own portal.
What's included
All of it is in Core, the free plan.
Online booking
An embeddable booking widget for your website that shows real availability. Jobs that need a look first go through an approval loop instead of landing straight on the calendar.
Quotes with e-signature
Line items, optional add-ons the client can toggle, discounts, and deposits. Clients review and sign from their phone; accepted quotes convert to jobs in one click.
Scheduling & dispatch
Month, week, and day views with drag-to-schedule, time blocks, and per-tech filtering. The calendar is the command center, not a read-only report.
Jobs with notes & photos
Every job carries its history: status, notes, and before/after photos from the field, so the office and the crew see the same thing.
One-click invoicing
Finish a job, send the invoice. Clients pay from a link on their phone; deposits and partial payments are first-class, not a workaround.
Card & ACH built in
Every invoice, quote, and booking can take card or bank payments — 2.95% + 30¢ per card transaction and 0.70%, $1–$8 per ACH transfer company-paid, or a client service fee of 3.50% + 30¢ card and 0.75%, $1–$8 ACH. No monthly fees, no minimums.
From the field
Owners who run their day on WorkBench.
“I used to juggle texts, a spreadsheet, and a separate card reader. Now a customer books online, I send the quote from my phone, and they pay the invoice from a link. One app instead of five.”
BrendanOwner, Excellent PC Building“Install season is a sprint. WorkBench keeps every house on the route in order, the crew knows exactly where to go, and deposits are in before we ever pull out a ladder.”
