Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. BreakerDesk publishes no market averages and quotes no survey: the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own.
The best apps for electricians are compared on the same five things whatever the vendor: a price book on the phone so every tech quotes the company's number, an estimate from the service size and the circuit count, an invoice signed and paid at the door, a property record with the panel's size and age, and a schedule that books the work the records say is due. The free tools on this site do the first three without an account; BreakerDesk Pro does the record and the schedule for the whole crew at one price.

Judge it on the price book
Open the app at the panel and look for the flat price for the task with the options beside it. If the tech has to work it out, the app has not done its job. The price book and the cost calculator on this site build the book free.
Judge it on the invoice
Built from the tasks, signed on the screen, paid at the door, receipt sent. The invoicing software here does the invoice; Pro takes the payment.
Judge it on the property record
Where does the panel's size and age go? If the answer is a notes field, it is a generic app with a trade logo. Pro keeps it as a record that produces the upgrade list.
Judge it on the price shape
From the vendors' own pricing pages: Tradify lists Lite at $47, Pro at $51 and Plus at $61 per user per month; Jobber lists Core at $49 per month for one user with additional users at $29 each; Housecall Pro lists Basic at $59 per month billed annually or $79 monthly. BreakerDesk Pro is $47 per month for the whole crew.
