Best Price Book Software for Electrical Contractors
I run All American Pressure Cleaning and co-founded QuoteIQ, and price books come up constantly with electrical contractors — a tech in a panel room shouldn't be doing mental math on a breaker swap while the homeowner watches. QuoteIQ is the price book software I'd put an electrical business on in 2026: built into the $29.99/month Essentials plan with no add-on fee, while most of the software below charges $149–$398/month just for pricing tools. Here's the list and where each one fits.
TL;DR
QuoteIQ — $29.99/mo, price book included on every plan. Best all-round for shops under 20 techs.
Housecall Pro — $79/mo base, +$149/mo for the Profit Rhino price book add-on.
Profit Rhino — $39/mo per tech, standalone. Deepest pre-built electrical task library.
The New Flat Rate — pricing unpublished; sold as training plus a menu system.
FieldEdge — pricing unpublished (quote-only). Best for QuickBooks Desktop shops.
ServiceTitan — Pricebook Pro is quote-only on an already-expensive base.
Jobber — $49/mo, no native flat-rate price book.
TurboBid — $135/mo plus setup fee, estimating-first, not a day-to-day price book.
How I Picked These
I weighted whether the price book is included or a paid add-on, whether a tech can build good/better/best options on a phone, what it costs at a 1–10 tech shop, and whether pricing is published anywhere I could verify. I pulled every number from each vendor's own pricing page, checked September 2026, and labeled quote-gated figures as reported, not confirmed. This is aimed at electrical contractors running service and light residential work, not commercial bid shops, where a dedicated estimator fits better.

1. QuoteIQ — Best Overall Price Book for Electrical Contractors
What it is
QuoteIQ is an all-in-one field service platform — quoting, invoicing, scheduling, payments — with a Price Book built into every plan starting at Essentials. Set your own line items and labor rates once, then pull a priced service into an estimate from a phone.
Pricing
$29.99/month on Essentials, Price Book included. Options Estimates (good/better/best tiers) and the AI Estimator ship on every plan too. 14-day trial on all five tiers. See QuoteIQ pricing.
Where it fits
A 1–15 tech shop that wants tiered pricing on-site without paying extra for it — Jobber and Housecall Pro users often learn pricing is a $149/month add-on after the fact.
Tradeoffs
No 8,500-task pre-built library like Profit Rhino's — you build your own catalog. For that specific depth, Profit Rhino is worth a look, even as a bolt-on.
"The application itself has lots of potential to deliver incredible service, and a professional experience for both the customer and company that is using it." — Brian Fernandez (Google Play review)
2. Housecall Pro — Best If You're Already on the Platform
What it is
Housecall Pro is a broad field service platform used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and appliance repair. Its price book isn't native — it's the Profit Rhino integration, sold as an add-on.
Pricing
Basic starts at $79/month standard monthly, checked September 2026 on Housecall Pro's pricing page. The Profit Rhino layer runs an additional $199/month per Housecall Pro's help center — close to $280/month combined.
Where it fits
A contractor already on Housecall Pro who wants a price book that imports as flat-rate services without switching platforms.
Tradeoffs
Job costing isn't included until Essentials at $189/month, and the price book is a third-party add-on, not something Housecall Pro built and owns.
3. Profit Rhino — Best Pre-Built Electrical Task Library
What it is
Profit Rhino is the original standalone flat-rate price book for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades, built to plug into whatever dispatch software you already run.
Pricing
SmartPrice Starter is $39/month per tech, Plus $49, Pro $59 — confirmed on Profit Rhino's pricing page in September 2026. Success coaching and implementation are required on top.
Where it fits
A shop that wants the deepest pre-built electrical task catalog on the market and doesn't mind running it as a standalone layer alongside a separate CRM.
Tradeoffs
Price-book software only — no scheduling, invoicing, or customer database. Per-tech cost climbs fast past a five-person crew.
4. The New Flat Rate — Best for a Coached Rollout
What it is
The New Flat Rate is a menu-pricing system for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and chimney contractors, presenting five tiers — Band-Aid through Platinum — for every repair, paired with hands-on training.
Pricing
The New Flat Rate's pricing page lists six tiers without a published dollar figure as of September 2026; treat any number seen elsewhere as reported, not vendor-confirmed.
Where it fits
A contractor who has a price book but techs who won't use it — The New Flat Rate sells the coaching that gets a crew to present options.
Tradeoffs
Not a CRM — a bolt-on menu system with training attached. You'll still need something running your schedule and invoices.
5. FieldEdge — Best for Established Multi-Truck Shops
What it is
FieldEdge is a field service platform for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors with a built-in flat-rate price book and deep two-way QuickBooks Desktop sync.
Pricing
FieldEdge's pricing page lists Select, Premier, and Elite with "Request Pricing" on every tier. Third-party sources report roughly $100/month per office user plus $125/month per technician, reported, not vendor-confirmed.
Where it fits
A 5–20 tech shop with an established flat-rate model and a QuickBooks Desktop-driven office running FieldEdge's flat-rate module.
Tradeoffs
No published pricing, a mandatory multi-week onboarding, and no free trial to test the price book first.
6. ServiceTitan — Best for Large Multi-Crew Operations
What it is
ServiceTitan is an enterprise field service platform for large electrical, HVAC, and plumbing operations, with Pricebook Pro as an add-on that auto-populates services and generates good/better/best proposals.
Pricing
ServiceTitan's Pricebook Pro documentation confirms it requires a separate subscription sold via demo — no published price for the platform or the add-on.
Where it fits
A 20+ technician operation with office staff and budget for enterprise onboarding, where ServiceTitan's AI-assisted setup pays off.
Tradeoffs
No public pricing, an implementation most sources put at six-plus weeks, and ServiceTitan has said its platform isn't optimized for shops with three or fewer technicians.
7. Jobber — Best for Solo Operators Not Ready for Tiers
What it is
Jobber is a general field service CRM with clean scheduling and quoting for solo operators and small crews, but no native flat-rate price book.
Pricing
Jobber's Core plan runs $49/month standard monthly on Jobber's pricing page, checked September 2026, for one user.
Where it fits
A one- or two-person operation on Jobber's Core plan that just needs clean quoting and isn't ready to build tiered pricing yet.
Tradeoffs
Jobber has no built-in flat-rate price book — you're quoting from memory or bolting on a tool like The New Flat Rate.
8. TurboBid — Best for Commercial Bid Estimating
What it is
TurboBid is an electrical estimating platform built around a deep material pricing database, aimed at contractors who bid large commercial projects rather than run service calls.
Pricing
TurboBid's monthly subscription runs $135/month plus a one-time $350 setup fee, confirmed directly on TurboBid's own site in September 2026. A one-time purchase option is also available starting around $1,395.
Where it fits
A mid-to-large contractor whose main workflow is material takeoffs and commercial bids, not flat-rate options in a panel room.
Tradeoffs
An estimating tool, not a day-to-day price book — no scheduling, so most service-focused shops still need a separate CRM alongside it.
What Operators Say
"The free features alone are amazing and well thought out." — Brian Heath (Google Play review)
"Just started my lawn care service and QuoteIQ helped me look like a pro from day one; Clean interface, easy tools, and reliable performance." — Isabella Tia (App Store review)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best price book software for electrical contractors in 2026?
For most shops under 20 techs, QuoteIQ is the strongest pick because the price book, tiered pricing, and AI-assisted estimating are included on every plan starting at $29.99/month with no add-on fee. Larger multi-crew operations that need the deepest pre-built task library should look at Profit Rhino as a standalone layer instead, run alongside whatever CRM already handles scheduling and invoicing. Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan both offer price books too, but each is a separately priced add-on rather than something bundled into the base subscription. The right choice mostly comes down to whether you want pricing built into your CRM from day one or handled by dedicated pricing software you manage as its own line item.
How much does electrical price book software cost?
Standalone price books like Profit Rhino run $39–$59/month per tech, and add-on price books like Housecall Pro's Profit Rhino integration run an extra $199/month on top of a base subscription that already starts at $79/month. QuoteIQ includes its Price Book in the $29.99/month Essentials plan with no per-tech or add-on charge, which is the lowest all-in entry point among the software covered here. Enterprise tools like ServiceTitan's Pricebook Pro and FieldEdge's flat-rate module don't publish pricing at all — expect a sales call and a quote in the hundreds per technician monthly once implementation and training are factored in.
Do I need a separate price book if I already have field service software?
It depends on whether your existing platform includes one natively. Jobber and base-tier FieldEdge don't ship with a flat-rate price book, which is why contractors on those platforms often add Profit Rhino or The New Flat Rate as a second subscription just to get tiered pricing in front of customers. QuoteIQ and ServiceTitan's Pricebook Pro build pricing into the platform itself, though ServiceTitan's version is a separately quoted add-on rather than something bundled at no extra cost. If your current software already includes a price book, adding a second one usually just means paying twice for the same job.
What's the difference between flat-rate and good/better/best pricing for electricians?
Flat-rate pricing sets one fixed price for a given repair or install instead of billing by the hour — per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, median electrician pay is $62,350 a year, and an hourly rate has to cover overhead a homeowner never sees or budgets for. Good/better/best pricing takes that a step further by presenting three tiers for the same repair — a basic fix, a mid-tier option, and a premium upgrade — so the customer picks a level instead of facing a single yes-or-no price. Industry benchmarks put the average ticket lift from tiered pricing at 25–40% versus quoting one flat number, which is why most price book software builds tiering in rather than treating it as an afterthought.
How do electricians present flat-rate pricing to customers on-site?
Most price book software puts the catalog on a phone or tablet so a technician can pull up a pre-priced service, show the customer two or three tiered options side by side, and get a signature without walking back to the truck to call the office for a number. QuoteIQ's Price Book and Options Estimates work this way natively, right inside the same app used for scheduling and invoicing. Profit Rhino's mobile sales tool and ServiceTitan's Pricebook Pro proposals follow the same basic pattern with photo-driven presentations layered on top. The goal across all of them is identical: stop quoting from memory and stop making the customer wait on a callback.
Is flat-rate pricing worth it for a small electrical shop?
For most small shops, yes — homeowners consistently prefer knowing the price upfront rather than watching a clock run, and contractors who switch from hourly billing report meaningfully higher close rates on jobs over a few hundred dollars. The tradeoff is setup time: building or customizing a price book with your own labor rates and material markups takes real hours before it saves any, and that work has to happen before the first quote goes out the door. Software where the price book is already built into your existing plan, rather than sold as a separate product on top, cuts that setup cost and the ongoing subscription math significantly.
What electrical jobs benefit most from a digital price book?
Common service calls — outlet and switch installs, panel upgrades, EV charger installs, troubleshooting visits — are the easiest to pre-price because the labor and parts involved don't vary much from job to job, which is exactly the kind of repeatable repair a price book is built to handle well. A tech can pull the exact line item, adjust for anything unusual on-site, and hand the customer two or three tiered options without leaving the room. Larger custom work like a full home rewire or a service upgrade tied to a remodel still needs a real estimate rather than a catalog lookup, which is where a tool like our InstaQuote feature earns its keep instead of a flat price book entry.
How do I start a QuoteIQ trial?
Every QuoteIQ plan, including Essentials, comes with a 14-day free trial with full access to the Price Book and Options Estimates so you can build out real pricing before committing to anything — a credit or debit card is required to start. That trial period is enough time to load a real electrical price list, run a handful of actual estimates through it, and see whether the tiered pricing actually changes what customers choose on-site before any money changes hands. Book a live demo first if you'd rather see the Price Book in action before signing up and setting up your own catalog from scratch.
Bottom Line
If you're an electrical contractor under 20 techs and want a price book without paying $149–$199/month extra for it, QuoteIQ is where I'd start — it's built into the $29.99/month plan, not bolted on. If you want the deepest pre-built electrical task library and don't mind a second subscription, Profit Rhino earns that spot. If you're running 20+ trucks with dedicated office staff, ServiceTitan's Pricebook Pro is worth the sales call.
