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 billing software covers the whole chain from accepted quote to money in the bank: the invoice from the book at the door, deposits and progress payments on the bigger jobs, change orders as their own lines, the card taken on the phone, and the receivables list short because the door did its job. 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.

The chain, not just the invoice
Quote to invoice without retyping, deposit and rough-in and final against one job, the change orders listed, the payment at the door, the receipt sent. Billing software is judged on the chain's weakest link, usually the progress billing.
The receivables that never exist
An invoice signed and paid at the property is a receivable that never existed. The reminder sequence is for the exceptions, not the routine, and a product that leads with reminders is optimising the failure mode.
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.
Electrical contractor billing software: common questions
Is there a free way to start?
The electrician tools on this site, the price book, the estimate calculator and the invoicing software, run with no account and no card. Pro is the record and the schedule for the crew.
Is it priced per user?
Most vendors charge per seat; BreakerDesk Pro is one price for the whole crew.
What should the software hold per property?
The service size and the panel's age, the circuits added and when, and what was recommended and declined. That record is where the next job comes from.
