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.
Electrical contractor accounting software earns its place on one question the general ledger cannot answer: did that job make money. Hours and materials booked to jobs, invoices reconciling to estimates, progress billing handled, and clean numbers for the tax accountant at year end. 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.

Job costing first
Every hour and part lands on its job; every job closes with real margin against estimated. That comparison corrects the price book and catches the tech whose times drift, and no general bookkeeping product makes it unprompted.
Clean hand-off to the accountant
The invoices with their payments, the supplier bills on their jobs, the deposits held properly: the trade software's output is the accountant's input, and the fewer the manual journals the cheaper the year end.
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.
