Invoicing App for UK Electricians: Invoicr
Invoicr is a free invoicing app built for UK electricians and tradespeople that lets you send invoices and get paid bank-to-bank, saving you money on payment fees instead of card processing charges.
Why Electricians Choose Invoicr Over Card Payments
On a £500 invoice, bank-to-bank payments through Invoicr cost around £4 in fees, whereas card processors charge £12.50 or more. This difference matters when you're managing dozens of invoices each month. Invoicr is built specifically for UK sole traders and tradespeople, plumbers, electricians, gardeners, handymen, mobile mechanics, and decorators. The app runs entirely from your phone, meaning you can send an invoice the moment a job is finished, and your client pays directly from their bank account without touching a card machine.
Invoice Management and Client Tracking
The Free tier includes 5 invoices per month and space for 3 customers, perfect for side work or new electricians starting out. When you're ready to scale, the Pro plan unlocks unlimited invoices, automated payment reminders, WhatsApp invoice delivery, and quote generation. The Business plan adds 5 team seats (useful if you have apprentices or office staff), full VAT and CIS compliance, and accountant export so your bookkeeper can sync everything straight into their software. Every invoice comes with a secure client portal where customers view their balance and payment history without needing to create an account.
Mobile-First Design for On-Site Work
Electricians spend most of their day on-site, not at a desk. Invoicr is designed as a native iOS and Android app, so you can create and send invoices from your van or the job site in seconds. No desktop login required, no fiddly web browser. Once you've added a customer's details the first time, they're saved, and future invoices take just a tap or two. Payment reminders can be set to send automatically, so you don't have to chase late payers manually.
Parts and Materials: What Invoicr Does and Doesn't Do
Invoicr specialises in invoicing and payment collection for tradespeople, not parts inventory management or stocktaking. If you need to track stock, manage parts ordering, or forecast materials costs, you'd use a separate stock management tool alongside Invoicr. However, Invoicr makes it simple to add multiple line items to each invoice (labour, materials, call-out fees, etc.), so you can itemise exactly what the customer is paying for. This transparency often helps with payment disputes and client satisfaction.
UK Tax Compliance Built In
The Business plan includes VAT and CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) compliance, which is essential if you're working as a subcontractor on larger construction projects. Invoicr calculates and tracks deductions automatically, and you can export everything your accountant needs at the end of the financial year. As of June 2026, Invoicr remains UK-only, with full support for British tax rules and VAT thresholds.
Getting Started with Invoicr
Download the app from the iOS or Android app store, sign up with your email, and add your business details. Create your first customer profile, then generate your first invoice. Your client receives a secure link via email or WhatsApp (on Pro and above), clicks through to pay, and the money lands directly in your bank account. You'll see payment status updates in real time, and automated reminders can chase overdue invoices without you lifting a finger.
Download Invoicr and send your first invoice in under two minutes.
