Best invoicing tools for contractors

We looked at the invoicing tools general contractors actually shortlist: deposits, progress billing, change orders, and getting paid faster. Researched from vendor pricing and docs, not yet hands-on.

01

What mattered most

Deposit and milestone billing, change-order handling, online payment acceptance, QuickBooks/accounting sync, mobile invoice creation, and the customer-facing invoice experience.

02

1. Jobber: best billing tied to job management

Handles deposits, progress billing, and online payments cleanly. Strong mobile app for field use. Best for general contractors who need billing tied to job management. Score: 8.8.

03

2. Housecall Pro: best with built-in financing

Good invoicing with the bonus of built-in customer financing for larger jobs. Best for contractors whose clients often need financing options. Score: 8.5.

04

Bottom line

Jobber edges out the competition on invoicing for most contractors. If customer financing is a deal-driver for your jobs, look at Housecall Pro.
