Dispatch Me vs Handro

Dispatch Me is the mobile app for field service technicians working with companies on the Dispatch platform. If your company uses Dispatch to manage and assign work — whether jobs come from warranty companies, property managers, manufacturers, or your own customers — Dispatch Me is how you run those jobs in the field. For small operations, that might mean you're the owner-operator: accepting jobs and managing the schedule from the office, then switching to Dispatch Me the moment you're in the van. For larger teams, your dispatcher assigns the work through the back office and your phone shows you exactly what's next. Either way, from first alert to final invoice, everything runs through one app. **Your schedule, in real time** Jobs assigned to you appear instantly. See the full picture for each one — customer info, job history, notes, special instructions — before you pull out of the driveway. **Keep customers in the loop** Let customers know you're on the way with one tap. Send real-time ETAs and messages so homeowners and property managers always know where you stand. **Complete the job, on site** Upload photos, fill out inspection forms and custom checklists, and capture signatures right from the job site. Everything syncs back to the job record the moment you're done. **Estimates and invoices in the field** Build an estimate on the spot, convert it to an invoice, and collect payment before you leave. No paperwork, no end-of-day reconciliation. **Works without cell service** Basements, rural addresses, dead zones — Dispatch Me keeps working. Everything saves locally and syncs the moment you're back online. **Real-time dispatch alerts** New job, reschedule, or update? You'll know the instant it happens. **Track your travel** Log trips and mileage automatically to give your company an accurate record of your day. --- Note: Dispatch Me is the new mobile app for existing Dispatch users, rolling out throughout 2026 to replace the current Dispatch field apps. Access is provisioned by your company. If you download the app and see a limited access screen, contact your company's Dispatch account manager or visit help.dispatch.me. The companion back-office tool for dispatchers and managers is available at work.dispatch.me.

Team is US$49 a month flat for up to 10 people. Two of the best-known field-service apps charge a 5-person crew from US$165 a month, billed monthly (their own list prices, October 2026). Solo is US$14.99 a month for one person. Starter is free. Handro is field service software for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping and lawn care, cleaning, handyman, pressure washing, pest control and other home-service businesses in the US and Canada, from one truck to a crew of ten. Schedule the work, send the quote, document the job, invoice the customer and get paid. Every feature is on every paid plan. Set up in minutes. RUN THE CREW FROM YOUR PHONE See today's jobs, who is on them, addresses, notes and status. Assign work to a technician or a crew, filter the schedule by person, and let techs clock in and out from the job so hours and job costs are on record. Team chat keeps the whole crew, or one crew, in one thread. Crew location stays off until you turn it on. QUOTE, SCHEDULE, INVOICE Create estimates with parts, labor and tax, Good, Better and Best options, a discount and a deposit if you want one. Customers approve and sign from a link, ask for a change, or book an open time from your booking page. Turn completed work into branded invoices. Capture site photos and complete field checklists so the job record shows what was done. GET PAID YOUR WAY Send payment links through your own Stripe or Square account, take deposits or full balances, and record cash, check, Zelle, Venmo, e-transfer and other offline payments. Turn on reminders so overdue emailed invoices get a pay link, and tips so customers can add one when they pay. Customers can save a card, and with autopay, recurring visits and memberships are charged to it. Zero Handro markup on card payments; your processor's fees still apply. EVERY CUSTOMER REPLY IN ONE PLACE Customer texts and emails land together in one searchable Inbox, on your own local business number. Miss a call and Handro texts the customer back, or let the AI receptionist answer, take the details and leave you a summary. Set it up from your phone: the one-time business verification carriers require, then pick your number. KEEP REPEAT CUSTOMERS ON TRACK Recurring jobs for maintenance and seasonal service, memberships, full customer history, tags and lead source. Sync customers, invoices and payments with QuickBooks Online or Xero, or customers and invoices with Wave (needs a paid Wave Pro plan); one accounting sync at a time. Bring your customers over from a spreadsheet, QuickBooks or your old app's export. BOOK A JOB WITHOUT TYPING Say the job out loud using the microphone on your own keyboard. Name the customer, the work, the time and the price in any order, and Handro fills in the form for you to check before saving. The app never asks for microphone access.
