QuickBooks plus a scheduling app, or one free app?
A lot of contractors run QuickBooks for the books and a second app for scheduling and invoicing, and then pay for the sync between them. Here’s what that setup costs against one app that does both.
Free means all of it
Free software
Dispatch, estimates, invoicing and reporting, for $0 a month.
Free scheduling
A dispatch board, recurring jobs and online booking requests.
Free accounting
A real double-entry ledger built in, so you can drop QuickBooks.
Free AI call assistant
Answers your calls 24/7, answers questions, takes booking requests and messages, and transfers to you. How it works.
Unlimited users
Every tech, dispatcher and office person, $0 each.
The honest part
Payments you take cost Stripe's fee plus our 1%, and optional bill pay from your accounting is $39 a month per office. That's how we earn.

What one app changes
No retyping
The job becomes the invoice, and the invoice posts to the ledger.
No sync errors
There is no sync, because there is one ledger.
One login
Your office, your techs and your accountant work in the same place.
What "free" means here, in plain numbers
- Software: $0 a month. Unlimited users. No contract, no setup fee, no card to sign up.
- Card payments you collect: Stripe's processing fee (2.9% + 30¢) plus our 1% platform fee.
- ACH bank payments: Stripe's 0.8% (capped at $5) plus our 1% (capped at $5).
- Online bill pay to your vendors (optional, from your accounting): $39 a month per office, only in months you pay bills through it, unlimited users, plus Stripe's cost at cost (bank debit 0.8% capped at $5, 0.25% + 25¢ per vendor payout, $2 per active vendor per month).
If you never take a payment through the platform, you never pay us anything. If you do, the fee is the same whether you have one employee or fifty.

“I’ve got a person for you.” Get paid for it.
Your techs see what else a house needs. On the MyHomeService360 network, when your AC tech refers a plumber on the network and the plumbing job sells and gets paid, your company earns a share of the network fee. The business that receives the referral pays nothing for the lead itself, only a network fee after the job is booked and paid. How the referral network works.
Questions people ask
Can I import my QuickBooks data?
Yes, for your customer list and chart of accounts: export them from QuickBooks to CSV or Excel and upload them. Opening balances go in as a journal entry. We don't import full transaction history; keep your QuickBooks file for past years.
Does it sync with QuickBooks?
No, by design. MyHomeService360 has its own double-entry ledger, so your books live in the same place as your jobs and invoices.
Will my accountant be able to work with it?
Your accountant gets standard reports: profit and loss, balance sheet, trial balance, aging and a 1099 summary. Ask them to look before you switch.
