Wallist

Overview

Wallist divides its paid offerings between Promote plans for business visibility and Operate plans for day-to-day service work. That separation gives a solo operator room to start with a free profile, then add job-management functions as needed; the per-user Operate pricing makes staffing costs important to weigh before choosing a tier.

Key features

Marketing and customer intake

The profile builder uses AI to create a logo, hero image, overview, and about-us text, all of which users can edit. Promote plans add customer-lead and website tools by tier, while Operate plans focus on managing leads and clients. This makes Wallist a plausible fit for businesses that want promotion and operations in one service, though the feature split means the free Promote plan is not a substitute for paid job management.

Estimates, scheduling, and payments

Estimates can include services, discounts, tax rates, attachments, and terms, and customers can review and approve them in the branded Client Hub. Wallist also supports invoices and payment tracking. Customers can pay by card or ACH through Stripe, with stated fees of 3% for card payments and 1% for ACH; check, Venmo, cash, and other payment methods are also supported.

Scheduling tools include drag-and-drop rescheduling and SMS and email appointment updates, reminders, and on-the-way notices. Those functions arrive with Operate Business, so the entry Operate tier covers estimates and invoices but not the scheduling and dispatch workflow. After an online card or ACH invoice payment, Wallist assigns an initial five-star rating that the customer can change.

Team access and privacy

Job Pros can only view and update their assigned jobs; Administrators have full access, and Viewers have read-only access. Google Play says the app encrypts data in transit and lets users request deletion, while also indicating it may share personal information and photos or videos. Wallist says it shares personal information with service providers supporting its website and related services, as well as in certain other circumstances.

Pricing

Wallist has separate Promote and Operate pricing. The trial lasts 30 days, includes all features, and does not require a credit card. Operate prices are per user, so a team’s cost rises with its seat count.

• Promote Starter: 0.00 USD per free (billed Forever). It includes a company profile, photo gallery, service catalog, Wallist reviews, social links, email support, and unlimited users. It is the no-cost starting point for online presence, but it does not include the listed paid Promote upgrades or Operate job-management tools.
• Promote Business (annual): 6.00 USD per month (billed Annual plan); Promote Business (monthly): 9.00 USD per month (billed Monthly plan). Both add unlimited customer leads, a Wallist subdomain, a verified profile, Google reviews, and phone support over Starter. The annual term costs less per month, while monthly billing avoids the annual commitment.
• Promote Growth (annual): 16.00 USD per month (billed Annual plan); Promote Growth (monthly): 19.00 USD per month (billed Monthly plan). Both add a custom .com domain, unlimited pages and templates, a product catalog, and a featured listing over Business. This tier is for businesses that need a fuller branded web presence, not scheduling or dispatch.
• Operate Starter (annual): 6.00 USD per month (billed Annual plan; per user); Operate Starter (monthly): 9.00 USD per month (billed Monthly plan; per user). Both include client and lead management, estimates, invoices, Stripe card and ACH payments, payment tracking, Client Hub, and email support. The lower-cost tier suits businesses that need quoting and billing but can do without the higher-tier scheduling package.
• Operate Business (annual): 16.00 USD per month (billed Annual plan; per user); Operate Business (monthly): 19.00 USD per month (billed Monthly plan; per user). Both add scheduling, team calendar, dispatch, appointment notifications, attachments and photos, and USA-based phone support. The annual plan states “Everything in Starter,” while the monthly plan also specifies unlimited jobs; compare the terms that apply to your billing choice.
• Operate Growth (annual): 25.00 USD per month (billed Annual plan; per user). It adds a dedicated SMS number, two-way texting, subscriptions and service plans, and priority support over Business. It fits teams that need those communication and recurring-service tools; those who do not need them can choose a lower Operate tier.

USA-based email support comes with Operate Starter, USA-based phone support with Operate Business, and priority support with Operate Growth. Stripe processing fees are separate from plan prices: 3% for cards and 1% for ACH.

Platforms

Wallist supports Android, iOS, and web. The handyman service can be used on Android phones, iPhones, and laptops, which suits operators switching between mobile job updates and desktop administration.

Who it's for

Wallist is best suited to handyman businesses that want estimates, invoicing, payment collection, and customer-facing approvals in one service, with scheduling and dispatch available on Operate Business and above. A solo provider can start with free promotion or per-user Operate Starter. Businesses focused only on job management may find the separate Promote offering unnecessary, while larger teams should account for per-user charges.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Customers can approve estimates and pay invoices through the Client Hub, reducing the need to handle those steps outside the service.
• Pros: Scheduling notices cover reminders and on-the-way updates by SMS and email, with drag-and-drop rescheduling for dispatch changes.
• Pros: The free Promote Starter has unlimited users, and the 30-day all-features trial requires no credit card.
• Cons: Operate subscriptions are priced per user, so adding staff also adds recurring plan cost.
• Cons: Scheduling and dispatch are not in Operate Starter; businesses needing them must move to Business pricing.
• Cons: Stripe fees of 3% for cards and 1% for ACH add transaction costs beyond the subscription.

Verdict

Choose Wallist if your handyman business wants marketing, estimate approval, invoicing, payment collection, and a path to scheduling and dispatch in one service. Its customer hub and appointment messaging are practical strengths; look elsewhere if per-user Operate pricing or the added Stripe fees do not suit your staffing and payment mix.
