What is the best app for electrical contractors?

Every tool on this page has a mobile app for techs. Housecall Pro's electrical page says techs can build estimates on site, offer financing and collect signatures in the app. Jobber's app shows each electrician's schedule, job details, checklists, photos and time tracking. Knowify's app covers schedules, clock-in and out, photos and expenses.

What is the best software for contractors?

It depends on the work. Service contractors who dispatch techs to homes need a field service tool (Housecall Pro, Jobber, Kickserv). Contractors who bid fixed-price or AIA-billed projects need contract and project tools: Knowify Core ($99/month billed yearly, 1 user) handles fixed-price and AIA jobs, and Advanced ($329/month, 10 users) adds job costing.

What are the top 10 electrical design software?

Design software (drawings and calculations) is a different category from the business software on this page, and I haven't reviewed it. The tools here run the business side: scheduling, quotes, invoices, payments and job costing.

Best Electrical Contractor Software 2026, With Prices

I may earn a commission if you sign up through a link on this page. It never changes the prices I report or what I recommend. How this works

The short answer

Solo service electricians: Jobber Core at $29 a month. A 5-person service crew: Kickserv ($60) or Jobber Connect ($149), billed annually, or Housecall Pro Essentials ($299 on its electrical page) for flat-rate pricing, proposals and job costing. Fixed-price or AIA-billed projects: Knowify ($99 for 1 user, $329 for 10, billed yearly). ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, Service Fusion and FieldPulse are quote-only.

Solo: $29; Jobber Core, 1 user
5 users: $60-149; Kickserv Start to Jobber Connect
Project work: $99; Knowify Core, 1 user

Service work or project work? Decide that first

My take: electrical shops split two ways, and most software is built for one of them.

Service work (repairs, panel swaps, EV chargers, troubleshooting): you need fast dispatch, a price book for on-site quotes, and payment in the field. Field service tools like Housecall Pro, Jobber and Kickserv are built for this.
Project work (new construction, tenant fit-outs, GC subcontracts): you need fixed-price or progress billing, change orders and job costing per phase. Knowify's pricing page lists AIA billing, change orders and subcontracts; ServiceTitan's electrical page lists WIP reporting and phased billing.

If you do both, price the tool that fits most of your revenue, then check whether it handles the other side well enough.

From each vendor's pricing page and electrical page, checked October 27, 2026. Jobber, Kickserv and Knowify prices billed annually (Knowify says "yearly"); Housecall Pro prices are from its electrical page, which shows no annual discount. "Not listed" means not on those pages, not that the product can't do it.

Watch the user count

Kickserv's $60 plan already includes 5 users and Knowify Advanced includes 10, while Jobber Core, Housecall Pro Basic and Knowify Core include 1. Compare the plan that fits your headcount, not the headline price.

Housecall Pro shows two price lists

Its electrical page lists Basic at $79 a month (1 user), Essentials at $299 (5 users) and Max at $649 (8 users). Its general pricing page shows $59, $149 and $299 billed annually by default. Ask which price applies to your shop before you sign up. More on the Housecall Pro pricing page.

What electricians say on Reddit

In a May 2026 r/electricians thread, an electrical contractor asked what to switch to after ServiceTitan, saying that for the cost they were "extremely disappointed with the support." Housecall Pro was the tool most replies named. One electrician who moved from Jobber wrote that Essentials "at $189/mo it does what I need" ($189 is the month-to-month Essentials price on Housecall Pro's general pricing page; its electrical page now lists Essentials at $299 for 5 users).

In another thread from the owner of a 4-person crew comparing Workiz and Housecall Pro, one commenter said of ServiceTitan: "For residential service it's king but probably not the best for commercial and industrial." These are individual reports, not a survey.
