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 CRM for electrical contractors is the one built around properties rather than deals: a house is a panel with a service size and an age, circuits added over the years, a generator on a maintenance schedule, and an owner who asked about an EV charger last spring. A pipeline of deals cannot hold any of that. The free tools on this site do the pricing, the estimating and the invoicing without an account; BreakerDesk Pro keeps the property record and the schedule for the whole crew at one price rather than per seat.

Judge it on the panel field
Open the demo and look for where the service size and the panel's install year go. A notes field means a sales CRM wearing a trade logo. The record has to be per property with equipment attached, because one landlord is fourteen panels and each has its own age.
Judge it on the weekly list
The CRM's output is the recall list: panels past the age the company upgrades at, estimates not accepted in a month, generator maintenance due, the EV-charger conversations to reopen. If producing that list needs a report builder, it will not be produced.
The property record
The field that earns the software its keep is the panel record per property, the service size and the age, the circuits added and when, because that is what tells you who needs an upgrade conversation before the next big load goes in. A software package whose answer to the panel record is a notes field is a generic product with a trade logo.
The schedule and the price shape
The day booked from the records as much as from the phone: the recommended upgrades, the follow-ups on unaccepted estimates, the annual service checks. 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.
