Best Electrician Software 2026: Prices and Picks for Small Crews

Electrician software is a field service app that runs quotes, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing and payments from one place. The right pick depends on how many people need a login and whether your work is mostly service calls or mostly bigger projects. For a crew of 3, the cheapest per-user route we read on 9 November 2026 is $87/mo billed yearly on Jobber. For a crew of 8, Jobber comes to $229/mo billed yearly against $299/mo on Housecall Pro. This page puts six vendors side by side on price, says who should skip each one, and lists what an electrical contractor should test before paying.

Electrician Software at a Glance

We priced six tools from each vendor’s own pricing page on 9 November 2026. Two of them, ServiceTitan and FieldEdge, do not publish prices, so there is nothing to compare for them except a quote. We did not test features for this page: where a feature matters to your trade, we tell you to check it on the vendor’s site and in the trial.

If you only read one line: published prices let you plan a budget before a sales call, and two of the six make you take the call first.

What Electrical Contractors Need

Generic field service software is built for any trade that sends a person to a customer’s address. Electrical work adds a few things on top. We list them as questions to put to each vendor, not as claims about what each tool does.

Permits and Inspections

A panel upgrade, a service change or a new circuit often needs a permit and then an inspection before the job is closed. Your local authority sets those rules, and the software cannot change them. What the software can do is hold the permit number, the inspection date and the result next to the job, so the office does not chase the technician by phone.

When you test a tool, create a job, then try to record a permit number, a scheduled inspection and a failed inspection that needs a return visit. Check three things: can you add a custom field or checklist, can you attach the permit document or a photo of the sign-off, and does a failed inspection create a follow-up visit or only a note. If the answer to all three is “put it in a note”, you are using a note app that happens to send invoices.

Service Calls vs Project Work

An electrician with a van full of service calls and an electrician bidding a 12-unit rough-in have different needs. Service call work wants fast quoting on site, a clean schedule, a card reader and an invoice sent before the truck leaves the driveway. Project work wants a longer estimate, stage billing or deposits, materials tracking and a way to see whether the job made money.

Most of the tools on this page are strongest on the service call side. If most of your revenue is multi-week projects with progress billing, test that workflow first, because it is where a service call tool is most likely to feel cramped. For neighboring trades, see our picks for HVAC software and plumbing software.

License Numbers on Every Document

Many states and cities expect your contractor license number to appear on estimates, contracts and invoices. Check the rule for your area with your licensing board. What you need from the software is simple: a place to enter your license number once and have it print on every document without retyping.

In the trial, send yourself a test estimate and a test invoice and read the PDF the customer sees. Look for your license number, your legal business name and your payment terms. If you have to add the license number by hand to each document, the tool will cost you time on every job. If you do not yet have software and need a clean invoice today, our electrician invoice template has a field for it.

The Picks

Each pick below says what the price looks like for an electrical crew, who it suits and who should skip it. The order is by how many electricians can price it from public numbers, never by commission.

Jobber

Jobber starts at $29/mo for one user on Core billed yearly, with Connect, Grow and Plus above it. Extra users cost $29/mo each. A crew of 3 pays $87/mo billed yearly on the cheapest route, and a crew of 8 pays $229/mo.

• Who it suits: owner-operators and crews of 2 to 15 who want a price they can predict and a 14-day trial that needs no card.
• Who should skip it: a shop with more than 15 users, because Jobber’s published prices stop at 15.
• The trap: the trial runs on the Grow plan. Write down which Grow features you used so you know what you give up if you pick a lower plan.

Our full breakdown of every plan and fee is in the Jobber pricing guide.

Housecall Pro

Housecall Pro has three plans: Basic at $59/mo for one user, Essentials with five users at $149/mo, and Max with eight users at $299/mo, all billed yearly. Month to month, Basic is $79/mo. Extra users are listed on Max only, at $35/mo each.

• Who it suits: a crew of exactly 5 or 8 that fits a tier without extras, and who wants one flat price per tier.
• Who should skip it: a crew of 3 or 4. You pay for the 5-user tier, so a smaller crew can do better elsewhere.
• The trap: the trial gives full access to Max. Decide up front which plan you actually need before you fall for what Max does.

ServiceM8

ServiceM8 prices by jobs a month, not by user. Free covers one user and 30 jobs a month. Starter is $29/mo for 50 jobs, Growing is $79/mo for 150 jobs, Premium is $149/mo for 500 jobs, and Premium Plus is $349/mo for 1,500 or more jobs. Paid plans include unlimited users, and ServiceM8 lists a 14-day trial with no credit card.

• Who it suits: a solo electrician testing whether software pays, or a larger crew with a modest job count, since extra people cost nothing.
• Who should skip it: a busy service crew running hundreds of small jobs a month. The job cap is the cost driver, so count your jobs before you compare it with per-user tools.
• The trap: one big project and one 15-minute service call may count the same against the monthly total. Ask how ServiceM8 counts a job that spans several visits.

Service Fusion

Service Fusion lists three plans with unlimited users on every one: Starter at $208/mo billed yearly, Plus at $325/mo, and Pro at $533/mo. Month to month those are $245/mo, $382/mo and $627/mo.

• Who it suits: a crew of 10 or more where per-user pricing climbs fast, because the price does not move with headcount.
• Who should skip it: a solo electrician or a crew of 2 or 3. The entry price is higher than the entry plans at Jobber or Housecall Pro.
• The trap: compare plan features line by line. The jump between plans is large, and what separates them matters more than the user count.

ServiceTitan

ServiceTitan lists plans named Starter, Essentials and The Works, and does not publish prices: we read Not published: quote only on its pricing page. That means a demo and a quote before you know the number.

• Who it suits: a larger electrical contractor with dispatchers, multiple trucks and the time to run an implementation.
• Who should skip it: a crew of 1 to 5 that wants to sign up this week. The sales process alone is a cost.
• The trap: quote-only pricing makes comparison hard. Ask for the total for your headcount, including setup, training and payment fees, in writing.

FieldEdge

FieldEdge lists Select, Premier and Elite and does not publish prices either: Not published: quote only on its pricing page. Treat it like ServiceTitan on the buying side.

• Who it suits: an established contractor with a service fleet who is already comparing quotes from several vendors.
• Who should skip it: anyone who wants a number before talking to sales.
• The trap: a quote can change with your headcount and add-ons. Get the full figure, not just the entry plan.

Cost for 1, 3, 8 Electricians

Move the slider to your crew size. The calculator picks the cheapest plan that fits and adds extra users where a vendor sells them. It covers the vendors with published per-user tiers, Jobber and Housecall Pro. ServiceM8 and Service Fusion do not price by user, so they sit in the table above instead.

Solo Electrician

Jobber is the lowest-priced published route at $29/mo billed yearly. Housecall Pro’s Basic plan is $59/mo. ServiceM8 can come in lower still: the Free plan is $0/mo if you stay under 30 jobs a month, and Starter is $29/mo.

Crew of 3

Jobber comes to $29 for 1 user + 2 × $29 = $87/mo billed yearly. Housecall Pro charges $149/mo billed yearly, because 3 users still need the Essentials tier. Service Fusion starts at $208/mo billed yearly and ServiceM8 at $29/mo, with no per-user charge on either.

8 Electricians

Jobber comes to $229/mo for the 10-user tier billed yearly. Housecall Pro’s Max plan covers 8 users for $299/mo billed yearly. Past this size, per-user tools keep climbing, which is where the flat unlimited-user prices at Service Fusion and ServiceM8 start to look good.

Every figure above is the subscription. Card fees, add-ons and sales tax come on top. Count users, not electricians: the office manager needs a login too. For a wider view across trades, use our software cost calculator.

How to Choose Electrician Software

A short process works better than a long feature list.

• Count your users and your jobs. Users decide the cost at Jobber and Housecall Pro. Jobs decide it at ServiceM8. Neither matters at Service Fusion.
• Pick two or three, not six. More than that and the trials blur together.
• Run one real week. Put live service calls through it, including one permit job and one invoice with your license number.
• Pay monthly first. Prepaying saves money on most plans, but move to a yearly plan only after a month or two of real use. Check the refund terms on the vendor’s page before you prepay.
• Ask about payments. Processing fees on each card payment add up faster than the subscription difference between two tools.

How We Worked Out These Numbers

Every price on this page comes from the vendor’s own pricing page, read on 9 November 2026: Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceM8, Service Fusion, ServiceTitan and FieldEdge. We do not use review sites, reseller quotes or search summaries as a source for a price. ServiceTitan and FieldEdge show no prices on their pages, so we print none.

For each crew size we compare the tier that fits with a smaller tier plus extra users where the vendor sells them, and keep the lower figure, billed yearly unless stated. Add-ons, card fees and tax are left out. We reread the pricing pages whenever a vendor changes them and at least every three months. If you see a price that no longer matches, our testing method explains how to tell us.
