Knockround
Knockround is a job, quote and invoice app for UK tradespeople, including plumbers, electricians, roofers, builders, cleaners, gardeners and window cleaners. It keeps enquiries and jobs on one board, from initial enquiry through quote sent, booked, done and paid. Tradespeople can send quotes by WhatsApp, text, email or link, and customers can accept with a tap. Numbered invoices include a Pay button, so customers can pay by Apple Pay, Google Pay or card through a link, or scan a QR code displayed on the tradesperson’s phone. Payments go to the tradesperson’s own Stripe account. Repeat customers return at their own intervals, with the day’s visits organized on a map and a four-week calendar. Knockround prepares messages that open in the tradesperson’s own WhatsApp or text app. It also supports Excel and CSV imports, bank statement matching, bulk price increases and reports on the value of work.

Wrencher
Wrencher is a Windows desktop app for sole traders and small trade businesses. It combines client records, quotes, job scheduling, alerts, invoices and mileage tracking. Users can prepare quotes with multiple options, convert quotes into invoices, and organize work in a week calendar. Intended users include electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, builders, landscapers and other tradespeople.
The app runs on the user's computer after license activation, with no account, login or cloud service. It is for tradespeople who prefer local storage while managing quotes, scheduled jobs, client details, invoices and mileage in a desktop tool.
Wrencher is offered for Windows. It has a 30-day full-feature trial and licenses at $99 per year or $299 for lifetime access. Its scope is day-to-day quoting and job administration rather than a broad field-service platform.

SoloDesks
SoloDesks is job management for a business of one: quoting, invoicing and job scheduling for solo tradespeople. Plumbers, electricians, painters, landscapers and handymen. Built for one person working alone, not a firm with staff to manage.
Build an itemised quote on your phone while you are still on the job, and send it as a branded PDF. Your client opens a private link and taps Accept. An accepted quote becomes an invoice in one tap: same lines, same prices, no retyping.
When an invoice goes quiet, Overdue Autopilot emails your client a nudge at 7 days, a firmer one at 14 and a final notice at 21. It goes out under your business name, replies come to you, and it stops the moment you mark it paid.
Every job sits on a calendar with the client's address, so you can plan a day's route. VAT and CIS are handled properly, in pounds.
Free plan, no card: 10 quotes, 10 invoices, and 10 online format a month, unlimited clients and jobs. Pro is 12 GBP a month, flat, never per use
