Repair Workshop vs ButlerBldr

Repair Workshop is the clean, professional tool for repair shops that want to stop juggling spreadsheets, sticky notes and group chats. Built mobile-first for the bench, the front desk and the road, it keeps every ticket, customer and device in one calm, fast place. FROM WALK-IN TO COLLECTED — IN ONE FLOW Create a ticket in seconds: match an existing customer by email or phone, pick or add their device (with accessories Yes/No), then capture the repair description with photos. Every ticket gets a unique number, status and full history from day one. A DASHBOARD THAT ACTUALLY HELPS Clean status summary cards — New, In Progress, Awaiting Parts, Ready, Collected — each showing 1-day, 7-day, 30-day and 1-year counts. Empty statuses hide automatically so you only see what matters. A 30-day mini report gives you the heartbeat of the shop at a glance. STATUS UPDATES YOUR CUSTOMERS LOVE Change a ticket's status with one tap and choose how to notify the customer: save silently, send a polished email, or open a prefilled WhatsApp chat with the country code already set (defaults to Ireland +353, fully configurable). Leading zeros are stripped automatically — no more failed sends. QR LABELS FOR EVERY DEVICE Print a clean QR label for any asset; scanning it from the built-in camera scanner jumps straight to the ticket. Perfect for the back room shelf, drop-off bags and warranty returns. CUSTOMERS & ASSETS WITH FULL HISTORY Every customer card opens to their complete repair history. Every device card shows brand, model, serial, accessories and an encrypted PIN field for when you legitimately need access. Print a label, start a new ticket, edit details — all in one place. PUBLIC BOOKING ENTRY A built-in New Booking form mirrors a website intake form: name, email, WhatsApp/phone, Eircode, address, asset details and GDPR consent — fields you can show, hide or require from Settings. BUILT FOR REAL SHOPS - Company profile (name, logo, address, VAT, contact) printed on labels and emails - Editable brand list, repair type list, status list and asset type list - Staff role presets — Front Desk, Technician, Manager — gating destructive actions - Photo attachments resized for fast sync, multi-photo per ticket - Technician notes timeline plus a full change-history log on every ticket - Universal app: iPhone, iPad and Apple Silicon Mac with adaptive split layouts, keyboard shortcuts and pointer support DESIGNED LIKE THE TOOL YOU DESERVE Soft off-white surfaces, deep navy structure, electric blue accents, monospace tabular numerics for ticket numbers — the clean pro aesthetic of a serious repair bench, no clutter, no AI fluff. Liquid-glass nav bar and a floating + button keep the most important action one thumb away. PRICING Two monthly plans, each with a 30-day free trial. Business Starter unlocks everything you need to run the shop. Pro adds invoices, trade-ins and the full Reports module. Prices are shown in your local currency inside the app before you subscribe. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

ButlerBldr is the job management app built for solo contractors — electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, carpenters, and independent contractors of every trade. QUOTE IN MINUTES Build professional quotes with labor, materials, and flat fees. Send a PDF link by text or email — your client taps it and sees a real document, not a number in a message. GET PAID FASTER Convert an approved quote to invoice in one tap. Zero re-entry. Track what you're owed on your home screen. With Pro, add a pay link to an invoice so your customer can pay by card — the money goes straight to your own Stripe account, and the payment shows up on the invoice. BUILT FOR THE JOB SITE Works offline. Take before and after photos attached to every job. Time tracking starts and stops with one tap. Import clients directly from your contacts. Address autocomplete — no more typing full addresses on a cracked screen. YOUR BUSINESS, ORGANIZED Every job, quote, invoice, and client in one place. Give a job a date, a start time, and an end date for work that runs several days — weekends in or out. Recurring jobs with frequency tracking. Your signature on every PDF. Reminders for unsent quotes and invoices. Export your invoices as a file that QuickBooks® Online can import. LOOKS PROFESSIONAL The PDF your clients receive has your business name, logo, and signature. Branded line items, clean totals, and a deposit box that makes it clear what they owe. Not a receipt — a professional document. FREE TO START, NO TRIAL Time tracking, job photos, job dates and multi-day jobs, recurring jobs, signatures, address autocomplete, contact import, reminders, and the export for QuickBooks are all included at no cost — no trial, no unlock. The free tier limits how many documents you create: 5 active jobs, 3 quotes per month, and 3 invoices per month. No credit card required. PRO Pro lifts those limits: unlimited active jobs, unlimited quotes, and unlimited invoices. It removes the small "Created with ButlerBldr" line from the footer of your PDFs. It adds card payments: a pay link and a QR code on your invoices. ButlerBldr takes no cut — you pay Stripe's standard processing fee. And it adds the scheduling extras: a Schedule view of your jobs by day and by month, automatic sync to your calendar, and reminders for tomorrow's jobs, recurring work due to be rebooked, and leads with no date. Current pricing is shown on the upgrade screen in the app, and in the In-App Purchases section of this page. Cancel anytime through your iPhone's App Store subscription settings. PRIVACY FIRST Your jobs, clients, and photos stay in your own iCloud account. When you share a quote or invoice by text, that PDF is uploaded to our server so your customer can open the link — and it is deleted after 12 months. Sharing by email attaches the PDF directly and uploads nothing. If you turn on card payments, the invoice number and amount are shared with Stripe so your customer can pay; their card details go to Stripe, never to us. No analytics. No ads. No data sold. Ever. — ButlerBldr Pro subscription - Pro Monthly — billed monthly - Pro Annual — billed annually Pro unlocks unlimited jobs, quotes, and invoices, removes the ButlerBldr footer from your PDFs, and adds card payments and the scheduling extras. ButlerBldr is free to use with limits of 5 active jobs, 3 quotes per month, and 3 invoices per month. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending.
