Mobile Welding Business Invoicing App (2026)
For a solo mobile welding business, ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) runs the whole job — quote with material, labor, and travel line items, invoice on completion, and take payment on-site or with a card on file, with cash and card tracked in one ledger and tax-ready books.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Tools were judged on the solo welder's real workflow — itemized quoting with travel, single-visit invoicing, and on-site payment — not on multi-crew dispatch.
| Software | Starting price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| ShowTheReceipts That's us | $15/mo | Solo welders: material/labor/travel line items, invoicing, on-site or card-on-file payment, tax-ready books |
| Joist | Free / $8/mo | Bare-bones estimates and invoices on a tight budget |
| Invoice2go | $9.99/mo+ | Simple mobile invoicing with basic templates |
| Kickserv Flex | $19/mo | Budget scheduling and invoicing |
| Jobber | $29/mo (Core) | Crews dispatching multiple techs at once |
The solo welder’s real workflow
Mobile welding and fab is itemized job work: material, labor, and travel, done on-site. Software should let you quote all three, invoice on completion, and take payment before you load the truck.
You can skip the crew dispatch tools — those are for offices routing several techs, not a solo welder in a truck.
1. ShowTheReceipts — $15/mo
Line-item material, labor, and travel, invoice on completion, and charge on the spot. Cash and card land in one ledger for taxes.
2. Joist — Free / $8/mo
Bare-bones estimates and invoices — thin on payment tracking and books, but cheap.
3. Invoice2go — $9.99/mo+
Simple mobile invoicing with basic templates — it’s lighter on payment tracking and reporting.
4. Kickserv Flex — $19/mo
Budget scheduling and invoicing for a general service business.
5. Jobber — $29/mo (Core)
It’s capable software, but its dispatch tools assume you’ve got a crew to route.
Frequently asked questions
What does a solo mobile welder need from software?
Itemized quoting with material, labor, and travel lines, single-visit invoicing, a way to take payment on-site, and clean records for taxes. Multi-tech dispatch only earns its keep once you've got a crew.
What do I get with ShowTheReceipts for $15/month?
The whole solo workflow at the lowest paid price — quoting, invoicing, on-site card payment, cash and card in one ledger, and tax-ready exports. Recurring invoicing and automations are Pro-plan features at $39/month.
Can I add a travel or mobilization fee?
Yes — build a saved catalog with a travel or mobilization line and add it to each job, so the customer sees the fee itemized alongside materials and labor.
