Comparing free phone repair software by type, not brand

The four kinds of free

• Cloud free trial. Full features for a few days or weeks, then a monthly bill.
• Capped free plan. Free until you hit a limit on tickets, users, or features like printing and inventory.
• Spreadsheet or template. Truly free, but no barcoded tickets, no automatic inventory, and easy to break.
• Self-hosted free software. Installed on a shop computer with no monthly fee. Records are stored on that machine, and you handle backups.

RepairAmigo is the fourth kind. It's free, with no paid tier that holds back core features.

Test every option the same way

Load your 15–20 most common repairs with prices, check in five test devices (including a returning customer), print a ticket, use a screen from inventory, simulate a warranty return, and run an end-of-day cash count. Whichever option does all of that in the fewest steps is the best one for your shop.

Where RepairAmigo fits

RepairAmigo runs as a VirtualBox virtual machine on Windows, Linux, or an Intel Mac. Staff open it in a browser on the shop network. Roles are Owner, Manager, Technician, and Other. See the free phone repair software checklist and free repair shop software, or download RepairAmigo.
