Same deciding question as every trade: does the books software talk to your field software? The five options below are priced from their own pages (checked September 7, 2026); the sync facts come from the field vendors' own pages.
The short version for an electrical shop
- Running field software?QuickBooks Online syncs with all ten platforms we track, including every one with an electrical page. Job costing needs the Plus tier ($140/mo).
- On QuickBooks Desktop? ServiceTitan's electrical page names Desktop Premier and Enterprise support explicitly; Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, Service Fusion, FieldPulse and ServiceBox sync with Desktop too. Jobber and Workiz don't. And since Intuit stopped selling new Pro and Premier subscriptions in September 2024, Enterprise is the only Desktop product a new buyer can get.
- T&M billing and progress work: the job-costing row in the tiles below is where the five differ most; Wave has none, Xero and FreshBooks gate it behind their top tiers.
- Solo, no field software: Wavefree, or FreshBooks from $23/mo; neither connects to any field platform we track.

The full field-platform sync matrix lives on the accounting guide; the vendor facts are identical for electrical shops because sync paths are global, not per-trade.
