Why owners look for a QuickBooks alternative
You want the rest of the business in the same place
QuickBooks is accounting software. A service company also needs quotes, scheduling, invoices and payments; keeping them in one app means typing each customer and job once.
You want it set up for your trade on day one
Pick your trade at sign-up and Crewhand loads services, packages, estimators, site-visit questions and a photo list, all editable.
QuickBooks is a good product for many companies, and the side-by-side comparison lays out where each one fits.

QuickBooks alternatives: common questions
What is the best QuickBooks alternative?
The best one is the one that fits how your company works. For a crew of two to fifteen that wants payroll and the books in the same app as the jobs, Crewhand is built for exactly that. QuickBooks is accounting software, so the right alternative depends on whether you want to replace it or add the rest of the business around it.
Is there a cheaper alternative to QuickBooks?
A 5-person company on QuickBooks Plus plus Payroll pays $140/mo + $50/mo + $7 per employee before any field service app. Crewhand Pro is $229/mo for up to 15 users with the jobs, books and payroll together (payroll provider fees extra).
