Still running your business out of texts, notebooks, and memory?
I lose job details in texts.
I forget to follow up on estimates.
I need quotes and invoices faster.
I want customers, photos, notes, and payments in one place.
The big-name apps are more than I need or cost too much.
The big tools can get expensive fast — popular field-service apps start around $49/month for a single user and climb steeply once you add a crew. MyTradeCrate is the simpler, cheaper option built for small operators: everything that gets you paid faster, in one place, starting at $9/month.
Why MyTradeCrate
We built MyTradeCrate because the existing field-service apps either start around $49/month and climb steeply once you add a crew, or were built for a single trade and ignored everything else you do. We chose the middle path — honest pricing, real depth, every trade respected.
Built for 25+ trades, not just one
Most field-service apps were written for one industry and bolted others on. MyTradeCrate adapts its estimate form, custom fields, calculators, and service templates to whichever trades you operate in — switch between lawn care, painting, HVAC, and pressure washing without setting up a separate account.
Real trade-specific calculators
Mulch yardage for landscaping, paint coverage for painting, vehicle-size tiers for mobile detailing, chemical mix for pressure washing, linear feet for fencing, squares for roofing — every trade ships with the math its operators actually use, not a generic line-item editor.
Mobile-first, in-the-truck workflow
Drafting an estimate in a driveway, snapping before/after photos, scheduling the next job, sending a payable invoice with a Stripe link — all of it works on a phone with one hand. No desktop required.
Customer experience that closes deals
Branded estimate PDFs with one-click Accept / Request Revision / Decline buttons. Public customer portal for downloading docs and paying online. SMS approval links that expire in 30 days — exactly how your customers want to interact in 2026.
Honest, transparent pricing
14-day trial, plans starting at $9/month, no contract locking you in for months, no per-user gotchas, and you can add or drop trades on a monthly cycle. No salesperson, no demo required, no annual lock-in.
You own your data
Save your estimates and invoices straight to your own Google Drive, or let us host your job photos — every plan includes free storage, with any overage at just $0.25/GB. Export everything as CSV or JSON whenever you want, plus a ready-to-import QuickBooks bundle. Your books stay yours.
Everything you need to get paid faster
No more juggling four apps for estimates, calendar, invoices, and customer communication. MyTradeCrate pulls the whole job into one mobile-friendly workspace — from first call to paid receipt.
Customer CRM
Keep names, addresses, job history, and notes in one place — every customer, every property, every visit.
Quotes & estimates
Build and send professional quotes in minutes, then follow up so estimates turn into booked work instead of dead texts.
Scheduling
Know exactly what's happening each day. Schedule jobs, see your route, and never double-book or forget a visit.
Job photos
Snap before/after photos right from your phone — proof of work that protects you and impresses customers.
Invoices & payments
Invoice in one tap and take card payments online, so you get paid faster and keep a clean record of every customer's payment history.
Trades we know
Each trade ships with its own service templates, custom job fields, and estimate calculators. Switch trades or run several at once — the estimate form, customer-facing booking page, and pricing all adapt. First 2 trades are included on every plan, then $4.00/mo per additional trade.

Add-ons
Every plan covers the core money path on its own. Bolt on only the capacity or modules you need — every add-on is monthly, drops cleanly, and never charges you for something you didn't pick.
Extra trades
$4.00 / mo per tradeFirst 2 trades are included on every plan — add more as your business grows.
Learn more
Each trade you add unlocks its full kit — service catalog, custom job fields, the trade-specific calculator (mulch yardage for landscaping, chemical mix for pressure washing, paint coverage for painting, squares for roofing, etc.), and the matching estimate form. Add or drop trades on a monthly cycle: a trade you add is yours through the current billing period, and a trade you cancel keeps working until the period ends so nothing breaks mid-job.
Extra user seats
$5 / seat / moBasic includes 1 seat, Plus includes 2. Add as many extra seats as your crew needs.
Learn more
Each seat is a full team member with their own login — they get role-scoped access to customers, jobs, estimates, invoices, and the calendar. Owners and admins can invite, remove, or downgrade members at any time from the Team page. Seats are billed at a flat per-seat price on both plans (no per-user gotcha that doubles your bill when you grow).
Email packs
$10 / mo per packStack +5,000 platform emails per pack — Plus tier.
Learn more
Plus already includes 1,500 emails per month. If you outgrow that, stack as many email packs as you need — each pack adds its full email allowance on top of the base. Texting customers is always free: the “Copy & send as text” button sends from your own phone, so it never counts against any allowance.
Premium document templates
$5 / moPlus tier. Unlock per-field visibility on estimate and invoice PDFs.
Learn more
Toggle individual fields on or off for every estimate and invoice — "Prepared by", payment terms, project scope, materials breakdown, internal notes, customer signature line, and a dozen more. Useful when you want one trade's estimates to read formally and another trade's to fit on a single sticky-note. Settings → Document fields.
Inventory module
$5 / moTrack chemicals, parts, consumables, and supplies on any tier. Currently free during preview.
Learn more
Set reorder points, log purchases and usage, scan SKUs with the camera, run monthly cycle counts on a schedule, and get a low-stock notification before you run out mid-job. Job completion auto-deducts the chemicals used so your stock numbers stay honest. Pickable as an add-on at signup — currently rolled out to every org for free while we finish billing wiring.
Photo storage
1–2 GB included, then $0.25 / GB / moPlan-based photo storage (Basic 1 GB · Plus 2 GB) — or switch to your own Google Drive for free.

Each plan includes platform-hosted photo storage: Basic 1 GB, Plus 2 GB. Need more? Turn on additional storage in Settings → Storage and we bill $0.25 per GB per month, rounded up to the nearest whole GB. Uploads pause at your included limit until you enable overage, upgrade, or free up space, so you're never surprised. Prefer to keep everything in-house? Connect your Google Drive and we'll upload every job photo straight into your own folder — your storage, your retention, no overage from us.

Built by someone who lived the problem
“I didn't come from the software world, I came from the firehouse. On my days off the truck, I started a lawn care business, and like most guys starting off, I duct-taped it together with five different software platforms and a stack of spreadsheets. One app for estimates, another for scheduling, a third for invoices, texting and emailing, and a spreadsheet to try to make sense of it all. I spent more nights copying and pasting between software than I did anything else.
Then I started talking to other firefighters running their own home-service businesses on the side — landscapers, pressure washers, handymen, painters. Different trades, same exact headache: too many tools, too many subscriptions, none of them talking to each other, all of them charging too much for the part you actually used.
That's where MyTradeCrate came from. One system that runs the whole job — from the first call to the paid receipt — built from the ground up for the small operator, not the 50-truck franchise. No salesperson, no bloated enterprise pricing, no paying for nine features to use two. Just the tools you need to run and grow your business, in one place, priced like we remember being the small guy ourselves.”

Your subscription helps bring people home
MyTradeCrate started in a firehouse, and part of it goes back there. 10% of MyTradeCrate's proceeds funds the development of RescueGPS, NavMate, and other software built for first responders, along with search-and-rescue training for all first responders. These tools support water search and rescue and emergency response, and they are built with volunteer departments in mind. The goal is to find victims faster and bring families closure sooner.
RescueGPS
The engine behind the search
RescueGPS is the computing engine for finding victims in the water. It starts from a person's last known position and combines it with environmental data to predict where they are most likely to be. It then coordinates the entire search effort, so teams put their boats and people where the odds of finding someone are highest.
NavMate
For the crews on the water
NavMate is the tool for responders searching on the water. It helps crews coordinate the search, keeps communication flowing between teams, and sends search progress back to RescueGPS as areas are covered. Every crew works from the same up-to-date picture, and RescueGPS keeps refining the plan as the search goes on.

Why it matters for volunteer departments
Most fire departments in the U.S. are volunteer or mostly volunteer. They often run on donations and fundraisers, and they rarely have a budget for specialized search-and-rescue software. Funding these tools through MyTradeCrate lets them be built for those departments without passing the development cost on to them.
