Common questions about scheduling software
What is scheduling software?
Scheduling software helps service professionals manage their jobs, customers, and payments in one place. Good scheduling software like Scheduling Hero also optimises your driving routes, sends free SMS reminders to customers, and lets you create invoices on-site.
Is there free scheduling software for trades?
Yes. Scheduling Hero has a genuinely free tier—NZ$0 forever, not a 14-day trial. You get unlimited customers, unlimited jobs, free SMS messaging, invoicing, and it works completely offline. Premium is NZ$23.99/month if you want route optimisation and cloud sync.
What's the best scheduling app for tradespeople?
It depends on your business size. Enterprise apps like Jobber and Housecall Pro are built for teams with admin staff and charge NZ$50-80/month. Scheduling Hero is built for solo operators and small businesses—it's free to start and simple enough that a 67-year-old window cleaner set it up in 60 seconds.
Does Scheduling Hero work offline?
Yes, fully. Your entire customer database lives on your phone—not cached data, a real database. You can create invoices, schedule jobs, and access customer details with no internet connection. Everything syncs automatically when you're back online.
Why is SMS messaging free?
Scheduling Hero sends messages through your phone's native SMS, using your existing phone plan (usually unlimited texts). Other apps charge NZ$0.10-0.20 per message through their servers—that's NZ$1,400+/year if you send 40 texts daily. Ours are free.
Can I import my existing customers?
Yes. You can import customers from CSV files, spreadsheets, or other scheduling apps. The app walks you through the process, and most users have their customer list imported in under 5 minutes.
What would you do with 5 extra hours this week?
Ditch the Sunday planning sessions and get back to what matters.
