Jobber or Housecall Pro. Scheduling and team tools, for a monthly fee per plan.
QuickBooks. Invoices sit next to your accounts and taxes.
Wow Invoice. Free to download, built for trades, and your client pays from a link.
Your business name and contact, the client and job address, the date and invoice number, then each line: labour hours, the service call, and parts like cable, outlets and switches. Add tax if you charge it, the total, and how to pay.
In all seven apps you can send an estimate (Jobber calls it a quote). In Wow Invoice you turn it into an invoice with one tap when the client says yes.
Not with Wow Invoice. Your client gets a link that opens in any browser and can pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay from it.
