What Contractor+ is

Contractor+ bundles estimates, invoices, scheduling, time tracking, and a material price lookup into a mobile-first app with a usable free tier. For a new contractor who needs to look professional this week without a subscription decision, it is a pragmatic starting point, and the client-facing documents are better than you would expect at the price.

Best for

New and part-time contractors who need professional documents before they need a system

Watch out

Depth, reporting, and support are limited relative to paid platforms, and you should expect to outgrow it as soon as you have a crew.

What it does well

  • Genuinely usable free tier
  • Material and supply price lookup inside estimates
  • Mobile-first design for one-person operations
  • Includes client-facing proposals and e-signature

Integrates with

QuickBooks Online ยท Stripe

Integration lists change often and "integrates" can mean anything from a real two-way sync to a one-way push through Zapier. Ask the vendor which fields move, in which direction, and how often.

Before you commit

  • Run one real job end to end during the trial โ€” quote, schedule, invoice, payment. Demos hide friction; a real job does not.
  • Check the mobile app on your own phone, outdoors, on cell data. That is where your crew will actually use it.
  • Confirm the accounting sync is two-way and that it maps to the way your bookkeeper already works.
  • Ask what happens to your data if you leave. Export formats matter more than you think on day 400.
  • Price it at the headcount you expect in 18 months, not today โ€” per-user pricing is where budgets break.

How to judge it in a trial

Run one real job through it end to end โ€” not the demo data. Quote it, schedule it, do it, invoice it, take the payment. Then ask the only question that matters on day 400: did the people who have to use this every day find it faster than what they do now? Friction you notice in week one compounds forever, and tool-hopping costs more than any feature gap.
