Best Plumbing software (2026)
Plumbing work is a mix of emergency calls and quoted repipes/water heater installs. Software needs to book calls quickly, give techs a flat-rate pricebook in the field, and take payment on site.
Quick picks
| Tool | Starting price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Housecall Pro | $79/mo monthly ($59/mo billed annually) | Residential HVAC, plumbing and electrical shops of 2–20 techs that want marketing, reviews and service plans bundled with dispatch. |
| Jobber | $49/mo monthly ($29/mo billed annually) | Owner-operators and small crews (1–15 people) in residential recurring or quote-driven work who want an easy app that clients can pay through. |
| ServiceTitan | Quote only | Established HVAC, plumbing and electrical companies (typically 10+ techs, often $3M+ revenue) that want enterprise-grade reporting and will invest in implementation. |
| Workiz | Quote only | Call-driven on-demand trades (locksmith, garage door, appliance, small HVAC/plumbing) that live on the phone and use subcontractors. |
| ServiceM8 | $0/mo | Small trade teams with many staff but modest job volume, especially iPhone-based crews and Xero users. |

- Marketing and review tools built in
- Recurring service plans/memberships on Max

- Works across almost every residential trade
- Per-user charges add up past ~5 users
