Is there free appliance repair software?
Short answerFree tools can take appointment requests for appliance repair, but model numbers, parts orders and warranty claims need fields a basic calendar lacks. Square Appointments lists a Free tier at $0 per location with no employee limit, and Setmore advertises a free plan [1][2]. Test whether your job notes stay structured.
The explanation
An appliance call is rarely one visit. A tech diagnoses on the first trip, orders a part, then returns days later to finish. A calendar that treats each slot as a standalone booking loses the thread between those two visits.
The details a technician needs on the second trip are the model and serial number, the symptom, the part ordered and the warranty status. Free tools give you a notes box, which works until three techs write notes three different ways.
So compare on structure, not price. Square Appointments lists a Free tier with higher online card rates than its paid levels [1]. Setmore places SMS reminders on a paid tier from $5 per user per month [2]. Decide whether a free calendar with a notes box is enough, or whether a second visit needs a real job record.
What to watch for
- No link between the diagnosis visit and the repair visit.
- Reminders that depend on a paid tier.
In appliance repair
Appliance repair usually means a diagnostic trip, a parts wait and a return visit, so the job record must carry model, serial and part status between visits. All appliance repair scheduling questions.

Part of this is built. The rest is not. Status as of 2026-10-07; the badge shows the least-built feature involved.
Apex lists equipment and asset history per customer and split and merge jobs with visit-level tracking, each with its own status badge. A 14-day free trial needs no card, and one user costs $59 a month after it.
