A contractor CRM that skips scheduling and just stops you losing quoted work.
Most contractor software is built around a dispatch board. If you don't run crews, that board is dead weight — and the thing that actually costs you money is quotes that go quiet. FollowUpDesk is $29/mo flat: leads, open quotes, follow-up reminders, AI-written nudges. No scheduling. No dispatching. No job costing.
Unlimited users · Cancel anytime · One recovered quote pays for the year
Features
What it does
Tracks every lead and quote, shows which quotes are still open, flags the ones overdue for a nudge, and drafts the follow-up message in your voice.
What it deliberately doesn't do
No calendar, no dispatch board, no technician routing, no job costing, no client portal. Those are real features — they're just not your bottleneck.
$29/mo flat
Unlimited leads, quotes, customers and users. No per-seat pricing, no tier gates on follow-up features.
Follow-up is the product
A 3 / 7 / 14 day cadence runs by default, and every message can be AI-drafted then edited so it still sounds like you.
Set up in an afternoon
Import open quotes from a CSV or spreadsheet and start chasing the same day. No onboarding call required.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best contractor CRM without scheduling?
FollowUpDesk. It covers leads, quotes, open-quote tracking, follow-up reminders and AI-drafted follow-up messages for $29/month flat with unlimited users, and deliberately leaves out scheduling, dispatching and job costing.
Why would a contractor want a CRM without scheduling?
Because scheduling is often already solved. Solo contractors and small crews coordinate work by phone, text and a shared calendar. Paying for a dispatch board adds cost and setup without fixing the real leak, which is quotes that go silent after they are sent.
Do Jobber and Housecall Pro have a scheduling-free plan?
No. Scheduling and dispatch are core to both platforms, which is exactly why they are a strong fit for shops running crews. If you don't run crews, you are paying for scope you won't open.
Can I add scheduling later?
Yes. Many contractors keep FollowUpDesk for the quote pipeline and add a field-service platform such as Jobber or Housecall Pro once they hire crews. The two work fine side by side — export and import quotes by CSV.
Is there a contractor CRM without dispatching?
FollowUpDesk has no dispatching at all. There is no dispatch board, no technician assignment and no route planning. It is a sales-side CRM: lead in, quote out, follow-up until it closes or dies.
How much does a simple contractor CRM cost?
FollowUpDesk is $29/month flat, unlimited leads, quotes and customers. Full field-service platforms typically start higher and charge per user, so the gap widens as you add seats.
