Free Field Service Management Software with No Per-Technician Fees

Field service software is usually priced per technician, so the bill grows every time you hire. BCTM has no subscription and no seats: a two-person crew and a fifteen-person crew pay the same $0 per month for the software, and the only cost is a fee on payments your customers make electronically.

How per-technician pricing adds up, and how BCTM avoids it

With seat-based pricing, adding a helper for the busy season adds a monthly software line whether or not that helper brings in more billed work. BCTM ties its revenue to payments instead: the platform fee is inside the card and ACH rates, so a new worker adds no software cost at all.

Included at $0 per month

Unlimited workers with their own logins, calendars and time clocks
Jobs with site addresses, scheduled windows and crew assignment
Estimates, deposits, invoices, milestone invoices and recurring invoices
Job notes, photos, video and documents with threaded comments
Customer messaging on estimates and invoices, and automatic payment reminders
Reports on paid, unpaid and overdue invoices, labor and job margin

What you pay, and when

Nothing until a customer pays electronically. Then: card 3.9% + $0.30 (1% BCTM platform fee + 2.9% + $0.30 Stripe); ACH 1.8% (1% BCTM platform fee + 0.8% Stripe, Stripe portion capped at $5.00). Cash and check: no fees. You decide on each invoice whether the customer covers the fee (where surcharge rules allow) or you absorb it. See the complete fee schedule.

What free field service software usually leaves out

Free plans across this category are usually capped — by users, jobs, or features held back for a paid tier. BCTM has no paid tier, so nothing is held back, but that also means features it does not build are simply absent rather than an upgrade away. The list below is the honest version.

What BCTM does not do

No route optimization or crew routing.
No drag-and-drop dispatch board. Jobs are scheduled from the job record and shown on contractor and worker calendars.
No GPS or location tracking of workers.
No QuickBooks or Xero sync today.
BCTM does not run payroll or file payroll taxes.

Frequently asked questions

Is there field service software with no monthly fee?

Yes. BCTM's software subscription is $0/month with no per-user seats; it charges only on electronic payments (card 3.9% + $0.30 (1% BCTM platform fee + 2.9% + $0.30 Stripe)).

How many technicians can I add?

As many as you employ. There is no seat limit and no per-technician charge.

What is the catch?

The trade-off is in features, not price: no route optimization, no drag-and-drop dispatch board, no GPS tracking and no accounting sync today.

On cost, the payment fee is the whole model. If nearly all of your revenue arrives by card on very large invoices, compare the per-transaction total against a subscription with lower card rates using your own numbers.

Can I take payments on site?

Yes — send a click-to-pay link the customer pays from their phone, or take the card in person with a Stripe Terminal reader.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Customer lists and reports export to CSV.
