The best apps for plumbers
#1Jobber
Best for: Best overall for plumbers4.6/5 on
G2 (530 reviews, checked Oct 2026)
Visit getjobber.com
Starting price$29 per month
Free planFree trial
Jobber is the pick for the typical plumbing shop: enough software to run the business, priced for a small crew. Core starts at 29 dollars per month for one user, with Connect at 99 dollars and Grow at 149 dollars, and a 14-day free trial covers evaluation. Scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and customer communication run in one app, and most shops are running within days instead of months.
The trade is tiering and tracking. Published starting prices differ across sources, from 29 to 49 dollars per month depending on plan presentation, and GPS tracking sits on mid to upper tiers. For a solo plumber or a 1 to 10 truck residential shop, Jobber leads.
What we like- Best overall for typical plumbing shops
- Scheduling, quoting, and invoicing in one app
- Running within days
Watch out for- Published starting prices differ across sources, so check the pricing page
- Advanced features need higher tiers
- GPS tracking sits on mid to upper tiers
Starting price$79 per month
Free planFree trial
Housecall Pro suits residential shops where customers book online themselves. Its online booking, automated reminders, and customer communication tools reduce office phone time, and month-to-month contracts avoid long lock-ins. Basic starts at 79 dollars per month for one user, with Essentials at 189 dollars and Max at 329 dollars, and a 14-day trial covers evaluation.
The limits are price ladder and tracking. Higher tiers cost far more than Basic, and GPS tracking sits on mid to upper tiers. For a residential shop whose priority is online booking, Housecall Pro leads.
What we like- Best for residential online booking
- Strong customer communication
- Month-to-month contracts
Watch out for- Basic plan starts at 79 dollars per month for one user
- Essentials and Max cost far more
- GPS tracking sits on mid to upper tiers

Free planNo
ServiceTitan suits large operations with 10 or more technicians. Its central pricebooks, templates, permissions, configured margin checks, and deep reporting handle high-volume and multi-branch businesses that smaller tools cannot. GPS tracking and fleet tools sit on all plans, with Fleet Pro as a separate subscription.
The trade is price and commitment. ServiceTitan publishes no pricing and offers demo only, with reported costs of 245 to 500 dollars per technician per month plus implementation, and multi-year contracts reported by contractors. For a real fleet, ServiceTitan leads, while smaller shops should treat it as overkill.
What we like- Best for large plumbing fleets
- Central pricebooks with margin checks
- Deep reporting and dispatch
Watch out for- No published pricing, demo only
- Reported 245 to 500 dollars per technician per month
- Implementation extra
- Multi-year contracts reported
#4FieldEdge
Best for: QuickBooks-heavy shops4.0/5 on
G2 (87 reviews, checked Oct 2026)

Starting priceSee website
Free planNo
FieldEdge suits QuickBooks-heavy HVAC and plumbing shops. Its QuickBooks integration keeps accounting clean, its maintained repair database speeds up field diagnosis, and its field-to-office workflow fits residential service teams. Demo only covers evaluation, with no self-serve trial.
The limits are price and contract. Pricing is custom quote only, reported near 100 to 200 dollars per user per month, annual contracts apply, and setup costs run 500 to 2,000 dollars. For a QuickBooks-centered shop, FieldEdge leads.
What we like- Strong QuickBooks integration
- Maintained repair database
- Field-to-office workflow for HVAC and plumbing
Watch out for- Custom quote only, reported 100 to 200 dollars per user per month
- Annual contracts
- Setup costs 500 to 2,000 dollars
#5Workiz
Best for: Call-heavy shops4.5/5 on
G2 (247 reviews, checked Oct 2026)
Visit workiz.com
Starting price$65 per month
Free planFree trial
Workiz suits call-heavy shops where the phone is the lifeline. Its call tracking plus scheduling ties every job to its source call, which helps shops that live on inbound calls, and month-to-month contracts avoid lock-ins. Starting prices run near 65 dollars per month in some listings and 187 dollars per month for 3 users on annual billing in others, so the starting price here reflects the commonly listed base figure.
The trade is depth and price clarity. Plumbing-specific depth trails Jobber, and published prices differ across sources. For a call-heavy shop, Workiz leads.
What we like- Call tracking plus scheduling
- Strong for locksmith, garage door, appliance, and smaller field service
- Month-to-month contracts
Watch out for- Published prices differ across sources, so check the pricing page
- Smaller plumbing-specific depth than Jobber
- Higher tiers cost far more
Starting priceSee website
Free planNo
Service Fusion suits shops that hate per-user pricing. Its flat monthly price covers unlimited users, so a 15-user shop pays the same base as a 5-user shop, which beats every per-user option at scale. An 8-person shop pays near 382 dollars per month on the Plus plan, against per-user totals that climb past 900 dollars elsewhere.
The limits are price clarity and contract. Published prices differ across sources, from 192 to 489 dollars per month flat in some listings to 225 to 245 dollars for Starter in others, so the starting price here is written as See website, and annual contracts apply. For a growing shop that wants predictable flat pricing, Service Fusion leads.
What we like- Flat pricing with unlimited users
- Shops that hate per-user pricing
- Strong value at 15 plus users
Watch out for- Published prices differ across sources, so check the pricing page
- Annual contracts
- Demo only for evaluation
#7FieldPulse
Best for: Growing residential teams4.7/5 on
G2 (375 reviews, checked Oct 2026)
Visit fieldpulse.com
Starting price$99 per user per month
Free planFree trial
FieldPulse suits growing residential teams handling varied work. Its mobile estimating covers costs, markup, target margin, formulas, bundles, and material lists, and its scheduling and job management fit 5 to 20 truck residential and mixed-work teams. Pricing runs 99 to 299 dollars per user per month, with no annual contract.
The trade is interface and modules. The interface is denser than Jobber, complete profit analysis remains on desktop, and sales suite modules cost extra. For a growing residential team that wants estimating depth, FieldPulse leads.
What we like- Strong estimating with mobile costs and markup
- Good for 5 to 20 truck residential teams
- No annual contract
Watch out for- Denser interface than Jobber
- Complete profit analysis remains on desktop
- Sales suite and modules cost extra
#8Kickserv
Best for: Budget-conscious small teams4.5/5 on

Visit kickserv.com
Starting price$47 per month
Free planFree trial
Kickserv suits budget-conscious small teams that want core field service tools without premium prices. Starting near 47 dollars per month, it covers scheduling, dispatch, and invoicing with fast setup in days. Small shops that need basics, not enterprise depth, get running quickly.
The limits are depth and tracking. Advanced features trail Jobber and ServiceTitan, GPS tracking sits on upper tiers, and the ecosystem is smaller. For a small shop on a tight budget, Kickserv fits.
What we like- Lowest starting price here
- Simple scheduling and invoicing
- Fast setup in days
Watch out for- Fewer advanced features than Jobber or ServiceTitan
- GPS tracking sits on upper tiers
- Smaller ecosystem
How we chose
We ranked apps by scheduling, dispatch, quoting, invoicing, customer communication, pricebook depth, and value at entry level pricing. We favored platforms that fit real shop sizes, since the right platform depends almost entirely on truck count and revenue, and we gave extra weight to month-to-month contracts for small shops, since long contracts punish seasonal businesses.
We also weighed pricing honesty. Where published prices conflicted across sources, such as Jobber, Workiz, and Service Fusion, we used the most commonly listed base figure or wrote See website, so readers confirm current terms. ServiceTitan is the only major platform here that publishes no pricing, and no platform here locks small shops into 2 to 3 year contracts by default except ServiceTitan-scale agreements.
Buying guide
Start by counting trucks and users, then model the full monthly cost. A solo plumber suits Jobber Core or Kickserv, a 1 to 10 truck residential shop suits Jobber Grow or Housecall Pro, a 5 to 20 truck team suits FieldPulse or Service Fusion, and a 10-plus truck fleet suits ServiceTitan. Run the math at current and doubled team sizes, since per-user pricing punishes growth while flat pricing rewards it.
Next, trial the top two on real jobs, not demos. Run both systems for two weeks while dispatchers and techs learn the new tool, and measure scheduling speed, quote time, invoice collection, and tech adoption. Plumbing companies should give equipment history extra attention, since it is the data techs miss most once they are on site.
Finally, plan the switch before signing. Read your current contract for end dates, renewal terms, and notice periods, export customers, locations, equipment history, memberships, pricebooks, open estimates, and unpaid invoices early, and decide which system sends invoices to QuickBooks during overlap so nothing syncs twice. Cancel last, once the final export is done and every open invoice is paid or moved.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best app for plumbers overall?
Jobber leads for typical plumbing shops, Housecall Pro leads for residential online booking, and ServiceTitan leads for large fleets. The best pick follows truck count and revenue.
How much does field service software cost for a plumbing shop?
An 8-person shop pays from about 240 dollars to more than 3,000 dollars per month depending on platform, since per-user, flat, and per-technician models scale differently. Model your real team size before comparing.
Should a small plumbing shop use ServiceTitan?
Usually not. ServiceTitan suits 10-plus truck fleets, while smaller shops get better value from Jobber, Housecall Pro, Workiz, or Kickserv at a fraction of the cost.
Which app suits QuickBooks-heavy plumbing shops?
FieldEdge leads for QuickBooks integration, with a maintained repair database and field-to-office workflow built for HVAC and plumbing teams.
How do I switch field service software safely?
Export all data early, run both systems for two weeks, plan the QuickBooks handover so nothing syncs twice, and cancel last once every open invoice is paid or moved.
