About mHelpDesk
mHelpDesk is field service management software for small home-service businesses, founded in 2007 in Virginia by Vincent Wong and Khoa Ho. HomeAdvisor took a majority stake in 2014, and mHelpDesk now sits under Angi. It serves HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, handyman and appliance repair businesses with scheduling, dispatching, estimates, invoicing, a customer portal, inventory and recurring jobs.
Its QuickBooks coverage is broad: QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Enterprise, QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Online Advanced, plus Google Calendar sync.
mHelpDesk publishes no prices: its pricing page returns 404 and buyers request a quote by email or phone. The homepage offers a free trial but states no length.
The trade-off: it is a long-established product, and newer platforms (Jobber, FieldPulse, Sera Systems) publish more about their features and pricing. Compare a written quote and a hands-on trial before choosing.
Pricing
| Tier | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Custom quote | Custom quote |
Custom quote only; mHelpDesk publishes no prices on its site (/pricing returns 404; the Get a Quote link emails support@mhelpdesk.com, or call 888-558-6275). The homepage offers a free trial but states no length. Verified against mhelpdesk.com 2026-10-08.
mHelpDesk does not publish a price, so you need a quote before you can compare it (49 of the 127 tools we list are quote-only). A missing price is not evidence of a high one. Get the quote in writing and confirm what it includes (number of users, integrations, onboarding, support) before you sign.
Pricing verified 2026-10-08. Prices can change, so confirm them with mHelpDesk before purchasing.
mHelpDesk has no published monthly price we can model at your team size, so we do not estimate one: any figure here would be a guess. Ask mHelpDesk for a quote.
Key features
Integrations
Pros
- + Broad QuickBooks coverage
Integrates with QuickBooks Desktop, Enterprise, Online and Online Advanced, which suits shops that keep QuickBooks as their financial system of record.
- + Multi-trade coverage
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, handyman, appliance repair all supported. Multi-trade operations avoid the dual-platform problem. Established workflow patterns for each trade reflecting long product evolution.
- + Long track record
Founded in 2007 and backed by Angi (through HomeAdvisor) since 2014.
- + Customer portal built in
Customer-facing portal for invoice viewing, payment, and service history access. Standard among modern FSM but worth noting for mHelpDesk's mid-tier positioning.
- + Free trial offered
The homepage offers a free trial but states no length; ask mHelpDesk how to start one and whether it includes the QuickBooks integration.
Cons
- − Test the interface and mobile app
It is a long-established product; compare its interface and mobile app with newer platforms during a trial before you commit.
- − No published pricing
mHelpDesk publishes no prices; its pricing page returns 404 and quotes come by email or phone, so get a written quote for your team size.
- − Limited integration list
Beyond QuickBooks and Google Calendar, integrations are few, so shops relying on CRM, marketing or specialty tools should check connections first.
Implementation
Confirm what implementation support your quote includes. Set up the account and configure the QuickBooks integration first (Desktop or Online, matching your accounting), import customers, build the service catalog and roll the mobile app out to techs. Then set up dispatching and roles, migrate recurring service contracts, and launch the customer portal, running in parallel with your old process for a few weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Is mHelpDesk worth choosing for new operations in 2026?
It depends on your QuickBooks setup and budget. mHelpDesk publishes no prices and has a long track record with QuickBooks (Desktop, Enterprise and Online). Newer platforms such as FieldPulse, Workiz, Jobber or Sera Systems publish more about their products and pricing, so compare quotes and trials before deciding.
How does mHelpDesk compare to FieldPulse or Jobber?
mHelpDesk is established FSM with mature QuickBooks integration and a dated UI, and it publishes no prices (quote only). FieldPulse (founded 2015) is modern multi-trade FSM with better UX, online booking and mobile depth, also quote-only. Jobber publishes plans from $29/month billed annually at the smallest team size and has the strongest US user community. For new operations, FieldPulse and Jobber typically win on modern UX and feature pace. For operations with deep mHelpDesk legacy workflows, switching cost may not justify the upgrade.
Does mHelpDesk support QuickBooks Desktop?
Yes. mHelpDesk integrates with QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Enterprise, QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Online Advanced. Other platforms support Desktop too (Service Fusion, FieldPulse and JobNimbus, for example), so compare how each handles your setup.
What's mHelpDesk best for?
Small home-service shops that rely on QuickBooks (Desktop or Online) and value a long-established platform. New operations should compare it with FieldPulse, Jobber, Workiz or RazorSync before committing.
Who owns mHelpDesk?
mHelpDesk was founded in 2007 in Virginia. HomeAdvisor, then part of IAC, took a majority stake in 2014, and it now sits under Angi, the company formed from HomeAdvisor and Angie's List.
