What you get

📄

Quote on site, invoice in one tap

Price the job at the switchboard. When the customer approves, the quote becomes an invoice — no re-typing.

🔌

Labour and materials, itemised

Callout, hourly rate, cable, fittings, switchboard parts — separate lines with their own quantity and rate.

💳

Card payments via Stripe

Attach a payment link. The customer taps and pays from their phone before you leave the driveway.

📸

Photos on the job

Attach photos of the work — before and after, or the fault you found. Useful when a price gets questioned later.

📤

Send by WhatsApp or PDF

Invoice goes out the moment the job is done, while you are still on site.

🌏

AU, US, UK, NZ, CA

GST, VAT or sales tax applied correctly, with the right invoice wording and currency for your country.

You don't need $50/month software to send an invoice

Tradify and ServiceM8 are solid platforms — but they are built around scheduling, timesheets and managing staff, and they are priced for it. If you are a one- or two-person electrical business and what you actually need is to quote, invoice and get paid, that is the whole of what Spanner does.

Full job management

$35–90/mo

Scheduling, timesheets, staff — worth it if you need them.

Spanner Pro

$9.99/mo

Unlimited quotes and invoices, no watermark, your logo.

Spanner Free

$0

5 invoices or quotes, sharing and card payments included.

A note on licence numbers

Every Australian state requires a licensed electrician to show their licence number on quotes and invoices, and most US states require the state contractor licence number on billing documents. In the UK it works differently — electricians are not licensed at all, so what customers look for is competent-person scheme registration (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA).

Spanner does not have a dedicated licence-number field yet. It is on the roadmap. For now it can go in your business details, which appear on every invoice alongside your business name and ABN or VAT number. If a dedicated field is essential to you today, Tradify has one — worth knowing before you pick.

Licensing rules vary by state and territory. Check your own regulator for what your paperwork has to show.

FAQ — electrician invoice app

Is there a free invoice app for electricians?
Yes. Free to download, and the free plan covers 5 invoices or quotes — including WhatsApp/email/PDF sharing and card payments. Pro is $9.99/month for unlimited invoices.
Can I itemise labour and materials separately?
Yes. Add as many lines as the job needs — hourly labour, callout fee, cable, switchboard components, fittings. Each line has its own quantity and rate, and tax is worked out automatically.
Can I send a quote before starting the work?
Yes. The customer opens the quote as a link on their phone and approves or declines it online. You get notified straight away, and an approved quote becomes an invoice in one tap.
Do I need job management software just to invoice?
Not for invoicing. Tradify and ServiceM8 run roughly $35–90/month and add scheduling, timesheets and staff management. If you mainly need to quote, invoice and get paid, Spanner does that from your phone for $9.99/month.
Does it work for sole-trader sparkies?
Yes — that is who it is built for. No setup, no desktop, no bookkeeper needed. Install it and send your first invoice the same day.
Can I add my own business details and logo?
Yes. Business name, ABN or VAT number, phone and email appear on every invoice. Adding your logo is a Pro feature.
