Manure Hauling Business Invoicing App (2026)
Manure work bills per load, per hour, or per acre spread depending on the job, with agitation and pumping priced separately. ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) saves each rate, itemizes loads and acres on one invoice, and sends it the day the pit is empty instead of at season's end.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Judged on the custom hauler's real workflow — per-load, per-hour, and per-acre billing with equipment lines, and same-day invoicing — not on nutrient management planning.

Three units, one job
Agitation runs by the hour. Hauling runs by the load. Spreading runs by the acre. A single pit can involve all three.
One invoice, three line types, no arithmetic in a truck.

Basic invoicing from the truck.
3. Billdu — $4.99/mo+
Cheapest simple invoicing.
4. Joist — Free / $8/mo

- Setup and teardown — per job or per hour
- Distance surcharge — beyond a stated radius
Frequently asked questions
Per load, per hour, or per acre?
Per load or per thousand gallons for hauling, per acre for spreading, and per hour for agitation and setup. Saving all three lets one invoice describe a job the way it actually happened.
Should agitation and pumping be separate lines?
Yes. Agitation is hours of equipment running before a single load moves, and burying it in a per-load rate makes your hauling look expensive while hiding where the time went.
How do I bill a job that spans several days?
One job record with lines added each day, invoiced at completion — or progress invoices if it runs long. Either way the customer sees the daily detail rather than one number at the end of a week.
When should I invoice?
Same day, from the field. Custom ag work competes with every other bill on a farm, and the invoices that arrive while the job is fresh get paid first.
