In their own words
Billdr
Billdr is an invoicing and job-management app for Australian tradies, available on iPhone and iPad. Job cards can record customer and site details, labour and materials costs, GST, notes and job status. Users can send a PDF quote and turn a job into an invoice in one tap. The app calculates Australian GST at 10% and supports ABN fields; invoices can include Stripe payment links. Revenue reports cover monthly revenue, outstanding invoices, a six-month trend and jobs by status. Billdr is designed as a standalone tool and does not currently integrate with Xero or MYOB. Its free plan allows up to three jobs; Pro offers unlimited jobs, quotes, payment links, reports, cloud backup and sync, and multi-device access. Pro costs A$14.99 a month or A$119.99 a year. Both plans include a seven-day free trial. Free-tier job and customer data is stored on the device, while Pro data is stored in cloud storage.
