Run your service business free.
HandyDesk keeps the ordinary business software simple. Leo is woven through the work, helping with leads, scheduling, field context, invoicing, follow-up, and the next thing that needs you.
Stop overpaying for the database. Put more of the budget toward intelligence.
Traditional CRMs monetize feature gates, seats, and add-ons. HandyDesk keeps the core operating system free, then bundles the business line, custom domain, no HandyDesk card transaction fee, and more Leo capacity into one Operator plan.
CRM, contacts, calendars, invoices, and records are the plumbing. They matter, but they should not consume the entire software budget before AI even starts helping.
From first inquiry to paid.
The handoffs matter more than the feature list. HandyDesk keeps the customer, conversation, schedule, job, invoice, and follow-up tied together.
Capture the lead
Keep inquiry source, customer details, messages, and photos together.
Move the work
Book it, schedule it, prepare for it, and keep the operator focused on today.
Close the loop
Connect completed work to invoicing and payment instead of creating another dead end.
Follow through
Keep follow-up, reviews, reminders, and unfinished work from disappearing.
Leo does real work inside the workflow.
The point is not to give you another place to type prompts. Leo helps understand what is happening, prepare the next move, draft the response, and keep work moving.
One business should not need eight logins.
Leads, CRM, communication, scheduling, website tools, estimates, invoices, payments, notes, photos, follow-up, reviews, and Leo belong in one operating system whenever possible.
Morning lead. Midday job. Evening wrap-up. Same context.
HandyDesk is designed around the rhythm of a real operator's day. Leo stays connected from the first message through the work, the money loop, and what is waiting tomorrow.
If you get a lead, book work, do the job, and get paid, HandyDesk can probably run it.
HandyDesk focuses on the shared operating workflow across local service businesses instead of building a separate CRM for every trade.

What happens when monthly usage runs low?
Thumbtack lead capacity and HandyDesk agent capacity are separate. At lead 11 on Leo Free or lead 51 on Leo, replies pause until you choose an upgrade or the monthly allowance resets. HandyDesk agent purchases add capacity for estimates, jobs, invoices, and other business work. Purchased agent usage carries forward, never refills automatically, and is used after the current monthly agent allowance.
Is Leads by Leo a separate plan?
You use one account for both apps. Standalone Leo plans are Free with 10 Thumbtack leads each month, $50/month for 50 leads, or $100/month for Unlimited on one Thumbtack business. Operator includes 50 leads; its Unlimited upgrade is $50/month, for a $150/month total. A lead covers the Thumbtack reply, client text, and lead follow-ups. Estimates, jobs, invoices, and later client work use HandyDesk agent capacity separately.
Does the included number provide Call Bridge?
The HandyDesk business number and Call Bridge are separate benefits. Optional Call Bridge is $30/month for 500 connected conversation minutes. Activation is in progress; purchases open after provider permissions, rates, and calls on our own number are verified.
