Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. RoughInDesk publishes no market averages and quotes no survey: the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own. The pipe dimensions in the pipe-size tool are the published standard sizes, cited on that page.

A plumber app is the phone doing the office's work at the property: the job with the customer's history, the price book to quote from, the invoice built from the tasks, the signature and the payment at the door, the photographs filed against the address, and the next visit set before the truck leaves. The plumbing invoice software on this site does the invoice half, free and without an account; RoughInDesk Pro does the rest for the whole crew.

The job, with the history

The tech opens the job and sees the property: the last visit, what was found, what was recommended and declined, the heater and its install date, where the shutoff is. That is the app earning its place before a tool is lifted, and it is what a paper job sheet cannot do.

The quote from the book

The task is picked from the price book and the customer sees the flat price, with the better option and the replacement beside it. The flat rate tool on this site builds the book; the app puts it in the tech's hand.

The invoice, the signature, the payment

The tasks done become the invoice, the customer signs on the screen, the card is taken and the receipt is sent before the truck leaves. The invoice software on this site builds the invoice free; Pro takes the signature and the payment.

The record and the next visit

The photographs, the notes and the recommendation are filed against the property and the next visit is set. That is the difference between an app and a calculator: the record is what generates the next job. 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. RoughInDesk Pro is $47 per month for the whole crew.

Plumber app: common questions

Is there a free plumber app? The tools on this site, the price book, the estimator and the invoice builder, run on a phone with no account and no card. Pro adds the record, the signature, the payment and the schedule for the crew.

Does it work offline in a basement? The free tools run in the browser once loaded. Pro saves the job when the signal returns.

What should a plumber app do that a generic invoicing app does not? Hold the property record with the equipment, quote from a flat rate book and produce the recall list. The invoice is the easy part.
