For plumbing contractors
From the 7 am burst pipe to the water heater quote, billed before you load the truck.

Quick answer
What is the best invoicing app for plumbers?
A plumber needs three things from billing software: emergency and service calls invoiced before leaving the driveway; a record of what was found (camera footage notes, backflow test results, pressures); and quotes that keep materials, labor and permits apart. Daily Invoice Maker does all three on your own computer and works with no signal in a basement. $149.95 once on Windows, Mac and Linux; the Android app is sold separately on Google Play.

A day on the truck
Four plumbing jobs, one app.
Every screen below is the real app, filled with an example company, Riverbend Plumbing in Columbus, OH.
7:40 am · Burst supply line
Bill the emergency before you leave
Cold supply burst under the kitchen sink. The after-hours dispatch fee, two braided supplies with quarter-turn stops and the labor go on one estimate, the homeowner approves it on your phone, and it becomes the invoice, paid by card before you pull away.
10:30 am · Camera inspection
What the camera found, saved under the customer
Log the line material, the cleanout you used, roots at the offset joint 42 ft out and your recommendation. Flag it, send the hydro-jet and spot-repair quote, and the next tech knows the whole story. Backflow test numbers go in the same log.
1:15 pm · Water heater replacement
Tank, kit, labor and permit on one quote
List the 50 gallon tank by model number, then the expansion tank, pan and flex lines, two-plumber labor, haul-away and the city permit, each in its own section. Warranty and payment terms print at the bottom; on approval it converts to the invoice.
4:30 pm · Property manager billing
Know who has paid and who hasn't
Homeowners pay on the spot; property managers get net 30. Every invoice shows paid, sent or overdue at a glance, and one search pulls up every unit you have worked on for the same landlord.

Questions
Plumbing questions, answered.
What is the best invoicing app for plumbers who quote on site?
Daily Invoice Maker lets you build the estimate at the job, have the customer approve it on your phone and turn it into an invoice in one tap, with materials, labor and permits in their own sections. It also keeps a service log of what you found on each visit. It runs 100% offline: $149.95 once for the Windows, Mac and Linux app, with a separate Android app on Google Play, and no monthly subscription either way.
Can I charge an after-hours or emergency rate?
Yes. Save an after-hours dispatch fee and an emergency labor rate in your price list and add them like any other line. Your rate terms (for example, 6 pm to 7 am and weekends) print in the estimate and invoice terms.
Can I record camera inspections and backflow test results?
Yes. A Service Log entry of type Plumbing takes your own fields, for example line material, cleanout location, blockage and distance, depth, check valve and relief valve readings, test result and permit number. Entries are saved under the customer, searchable and printable, and a follow-up flag keeps an open repair in front of you.
Does it work in a basement or crawlspace with no signal?
Yes. Everything lives on your own computer or phone, so estimates, invoices and logs work with no internet at all. Google Drive sync between your devices is optional and catches up when you are back online.
Are there ready-made plumbing job templates?
Yes. The optional Plumbing trade pack ($4.99, desktop) adds job templates for service calls, water heaters, drains, fixtures and repipes, plus protection-plan agreement templates. You can also build your own price list and job types at no cost.
