About TradeTab
TradeTab is the invoicing app built specifically for tradespeople: plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, general contractors, and 30+ other trades. Most invoice software is built for accountants. TradeTab is built for people who work with their hands.
The average tradesperson waits 28 days to get paid after completing a job. TradeTab users get paid in under a week because they send the invoice before they drive to the next job, right from their phone.
What TradeTab does:
- AI-powered line item suggestions. Choose the job type from a list and TradeTab fills in the line items. No more typing "labor — 2 hrs" from a dirty truck cab. Edit and add other line items if needed.
- Send professional PDF invoices by email in under 30 seconds.
- Collect online payments via Stripe — no cash, no checks, no chasing. Or stick with cash or check. TradeTab works whatever your preferences.
- Create estimates and convert them to invoices in one tap.
- Create change orders and convert them into invoices in one tap.
- Attach job photos directly to invoices
- Manage clients, job history, and recurring work
- Magic link login. No passwords to remember after a long day
TradeTab starts at $9/month with a 14-day free trial. No credit card required to start. No contracts. No per-invoice fees. Built for solo operators and small crews who want to get paid fast without learning accounting software.
The typical TradeTab user saves 3–4 hours per week on invoicing and billing follow-up. That's time back in the field, or at home.
