Handymanda vs Smart Book

Handymanda is a job-management app for solo handymen and teams, with tools for scheduling, customer records, estimates, invoices, payments and timesheets. Estimates and invoices can draw on saved customer details, an item catalog and preset messages. Job information can hold comments, photos and files; customer records can include notes and other details, and the service says automated messages can be sent to customers. It lists QuickBooks, Xero and Square integrations, with invoices, payments and customers syncing to QuickBooks. When a team member opens the mobile app, Handymanda captures their location and adds timestamps and geotags to job status changes. All plans include job costing, electronic signatures, payment collection, time tracking, GPS-based team and job tracking, eight standard reports, and unlimited notes, comments, files and photo uploads. It runs on Android, iOS and the web. There is no free plan; the Handymanda plan is $49 a month, and a 14-day trial is available without a credit card.

Smart Book is a CRM and field-service management platform for owner-led local service businesses, including lawn care, cleaning, property maintenance, pool service, HVAC and pest control. It manages customers, schedules, recurring work, estimates, invoices, reporting and field roles. Jobs can run once or recur weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or on a custom schedule. Estimates support line items and secure approval links; accepted work can become a job, with invoices tied to the client and job. Technicians use the My Day phone workflow to see assigned jobs, route order, directions, notes and attachments, then mark starts and completions. Stripe connections support invoice payments, saved cards and AutoPay when enabled and authorized; processing fees are separate. The Whole Crew plan costs $30 a month or $300 a year, both with unlimited team members and owner, admin, dispatcher and technician roles. A 7-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Smart Book runs on Android, iOS and web.
