It really is this simple
Real screens — not mockups. Quote with the VAT and CIS done for you, see what you're owed, send a proper invoice. All from your phone.
The big tools are overkill for a one-van business
Jobber, Housecall Pro, Simpro — powerful, but priced and built for crews with schedulers, dispatchers and office staff. You just need to quote, get accepted, and get paid.
“Is Jobber worth it for a solo handyman, or is it just built for bigger crews?”
“Housecall Pro can feel like overkill and the pricing stacks up fast.”
“I’ve used an Excel template to type quotes and invoices for over 10 years.”
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
One-thumb quoting
Pick a client, tap in your saved prices, done. Built to use on-site, one-handed.
VAT + CIS done right
20% / 5% / 0% VAT per line, CIS deducted from labour only. Numbers HMRC would recognise.
Accept online
Send a link. Your client taps Accept. It becomes a job automatically.
Invoice in one tap
Turn an accepted job into an invoice instantly — same lines, same totals.
Get paid faster
Send a pay link with every invoice. See what’s outstanding and overdue at a glance.
Proper documents
Clean, branded quotes and invoices with your business details, VAT number and notes.
CIS and VAT, handled the UK way
Construction Industry Scheme deductions come off labour only— never materials, never the VAT. Get it wrong and your figures don't reconcile. SparkQuote applies your CIS status (gross, 20% registered, or 30% unverified) automatically and shows the client exactly what to pay now.
- ✔️ Per-line VAT at 20%, 5% or 0%
- ✔️ CIS deducted from the labour subtotal only
- ✔️ “Amount due now” after the contractor's withholding
- ✔️ Your VAT number and CIS status on every document
Worked example — office lighting job
Solo-priced, on purpose
| SparkQuote | £15 / mo — one price, no seats |
| Tradify | from £34 / user / mo — every mate costs again |
| Jobber | from $21 / mo + $29 per extra user — priced in USD |
| Housecall Pro | from $59 / mo — priced in USD, team-first |
| Your Excel + free invoicer | £0 — but no accept-online or pay link |
Competitor prices are entry-plan rates taken from each provider's own public pricing page on 29 July 2026, and may change. Jobber and Housecall Pro publish in US dollars and have no UK price list. Check each provider for current rates.

Questions
Is it really just for electricians?
That’s our first focus — the VAT/CIS handling and language are built for UK sparks. Plumbers and other trades are next.
Do you handle CIS deductions?
Yes. Set your CIS status and SparkQuote deducts it from labour only on every quote and invoice, showing the amount due after withholding.
Can my client pay online?
Every invoice can carry a pay link. Connect Stripe to take card payments; without it you can still send and track invoices.
Does it work on my phone?
It’s built phone-first and installs to your home screen like an app. Works one-handed, on-site.
What if I already use a spreadsheet?
Import your saved prices once, then quoting is faster than the spreadsheet — and your client can accept and pay from the same link.
