The short version
Electrical work means quoting at the panel, in the basement, or on a job site with no signal. ZipplyQuote builds a clean, branded electrical estimate on your phone in about 30 seconds, works fully offline, and lets the customer pay a deposit on the spot. One payment of $49, no monthly bill.
Quote a panel upgrade or an EV charger in 30 seconds
From a single fixture swap to a service upgrade, drop in exactly the line items the job needs and show a clean total on the spot. A panel upgrade might look like this:
| 200A panel upgrade | Price |
|---|---|
| 200A panel & breakers | $720.00 |
| Install labor | $1,250.00 |
| Permit & inspection | $240.00 |
| Grounding & misc materials | $180.00 |
| Deposit (30%) | $717.00 |
Save your common jobs — panel upgrades, EV chargers, recessed lighting, generator hookups, troubleshooting — and reuse them so the next quote takes seconds.
It works at the panel, signal or not
Basements and mechanical rooms kill cell signal. Because ZipplyQuote runs on-device and offline, you can build and present the estimate right where you're working, then send it the moment you're back in range.
Take the deposit before you leave
Connect your own PayPal, Stripe, or Cash App and the customer taps once to pay a pre-filled deposit. The money goes straight to you; ZipplyQuote never sees it. A committed deposit turns a "maybe" into a booked job.
The real cost: one payment vs a monthly bill
Housecall Pro is a subscription, and so are the other field-service apps. The sticker price isn't the real number — the real number is what you pay over the years you run your business. At $59–$79/month, that's roughly $3,540 over five years. ZipplyQuote is $49 once. Total cost at year five: still $49.
Illustrative five-year total at a published entry rate (June 2026). Your actual cost depends on plan, users, and add-ons. ZipplyQuote is a focused quoting tool, not a full CRM — that's the trade-off, and for a solo operator it's usually the right one.
Where ZipplyQuote fits — and where it doesn't
It fits solo electricians and small crews who need fast estimates and deposits in the field. Keep a full platform if you run dispatch for multiple trucks, service agreements, and integrated invoicing. ZipplyQuote is the fast quoting tool, not the whole back office.

Frequently asked questions
Does this electrician quote app work offline?
Yes. ZipplyQuote is offline-first and runs on your phone after the first open, so you can build and show an estimate at a panel, in a basement, or on a site with no signal, then send it when you're back in range.
Can I quote both small jobs and big installs?
Yes. You add exactly the line items a job needs, so a fixture swap is as quick to quote as a service upgrade or EV-charger install. Save common jobs and reuse them to quote faster.
How do customers pay the deposit?
Connect your own PayPal, Stripe Payment Link, or Cash App. The customer taps the pre-filled deposit and pays straight to you. ZipplyQuote never handles the money.
Is it a subscription?
No. It's a one-time $49 purchase with no recurring fee, versus $59–$119+/month for full field-service platforms.
