Hi, I'm William Johnson, a Denver-based software engineer with over a decade in the industry, and the founder of Null Sweat, LLC, the company behind ScheduleLord.

ScheduleLord is a web app, not an App Store download — but you can still add it to your iPhone's home screen so it opens and feels just like a native app, with its own icon and no browser bar.

Most scheduling apps offer a free plan — the trick is figuring out where the free tier actually ends. Some cap you by employee count, some by location, and some just don't have a permanently free plan at all (a 14-day trial isn't a free tier, no matter how the pricing page phrases it).

Here's how the free plans compare as of mid-2026, based on each vendor's own pricing page.
