Is there free towing company software?
Short answerI did not verify any towing-specific vendor, so I cannot name a free towing product. General job tools such as ServiceM8 list a free plan for one user with 30 jobs a month. [1] A towing company needs fast dispatch, location and photos, which free tiers rarely cover well. [1]
The explanation
A tow call is urgent, with a location, a vehicle and a customer waiting. The job tool must let you create a job in under a minute, assign it to a driver and send the customer an arrival time. [1]
Free tiers are built for solo operators who plan work in advance. Thirty jobs a month would be gone in days for a busy operator, and extra features like job costing and forms sit on paid plans. [1]
Photos of vehicle condition before a hook-up protect you from damage claims, so look for photo attachments on the job. A towing business also needs after-hours handling and a clear record of who authorized the tow. Test with ten real calls before choosing. Keep the trial short and focused on dispatch.
In towing service
Towing runs around the clock and relies on a quick dispatch and a driver's location. Keep the customer informed with an arrival estimate. All towing service scheduling questions.
How Apex does it
In progress
Part of this is built. The rest is not. Status as of 2026-10-07; the badge shows the least-built feature involved.
Apex's after-hours dispatch tiers and before and after photo documentation are being built, and an on-the-way text with ETA is built but needs a connected texting account. There is no permanent free plan.
- SC21Emergency / after-hours dispatch tiers(In progress)
- SC20ETA text on the way(Built, rolling out)
- MB16Before/after photo documentation(Rolling out)
Apex Flow Scheduler is in early access. See how we label status.
