Free your maintenance

Free forever — unlimited work orders

Free Work Order SoftwareUnlimited jobs, unlimited users, $0

Raise, assign and close work orders from any device — with a free work order system that does not cap your team.

Most “free” tools limit you to one or two users, or expire after a trial. FreeMaint's Core tier is free forever: unlimited work orders, unlimited technicians, unlimited assets — no credit card required.

What is work order software?

Work order software is how a maintenance team raises a job, assigns it to a technician, tracks it to completion and keeps the record. It replaces paper tickets, spreadsheets and message threads with one shared system, so every asset ends up with a reliable service history — who did what, when, with which parts, and how long it took.

What you get for free

Unlimited work orders

Create, assign, prioritise and close an unlimited number of work orders. Every job carries its description, photos, parts used, time logged and full status history.

Automatic scheduling & alerts

Recurring preventive jobs generate themselves on schedule, and the team is notified before work falls due — so nothing is discovered only after a breakdown.

Mobile work orders

A free Android app plus responsive web: technicians open, update and close work orders from the floor, attach photos, and everything syncs automatically.

QR codes on equipment

Scan the QR label on a machine to see its full history and raise a work order against it in seconds — no searching, no paperwork back at the office.

Frequently asked questions

Is there genuinely free work order software?

Yes. FreeMaint's Core tier is free forever and includes unlimited work orders, unlimited users and unlimited assets, plus time-based preventive maintenance, parts inventory and a mobile app. There is no trial period and no credit card. Paid tiers ($29 / $99 / $299 per month) are flat per company — never per user — and only add advanced modules.

What is work order software?

Work order software is the system a maintenance team uses to raise, assign, track and close jobs on equipment or facilities. It records who did what, when, on which asset, with which parts — replacing paper tickets, spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads, and giving each asset a reliable service history.

Is there a free work order app for technicians?

Yes. A free Android app is included on every tier, and the web app is responsive on any mobile browser. Technicians can open and close work orders, scan equipment QR codes and attach photos from the field; everything syncs automatically once they are back in coverage.

Is it suitable for a small business?

It is a common use case. Because pricing is flat per company rather than per user, a small team can put everyone on the system at no cost — office staff raising requests and technicians closing jobs — without the per-seat maths that makes most tools expensive as you grow.

Can I import my existing work orders?

Yes. CSV/Excel import covers assets, work orders and parts, so an existing spreadsheet can be migrated in well under an hour. Most teams move their sheet across and start scheduling preventive work the same day.
