The Best App for Running a Small Contractor Business From Your Phone

You don't need expensive software or a full-time office person. TradeBase gives solo contractors and small crews everything needed to run a clean, professional business from a phone.

No signup required for demo. Built for contractors.

Most contractor apps are built for bigger companies.

  • Expensive subscriptions built for 10-person companies with features you'll never use
  • Complicated setup that takes days before you get value from it
  • Designed for desktop computers — unusable on a phone in the field
  • Requires importing contacts, syncing calendars, and integration setup before any real use
  • Training videos and onboarding calls instead of just getting started

TradeBase puts it all in one place.

Built specifically for small contractors and owner-operators.

TradeBase is designed for contractors running one to five trucks who want to look professional, get paid faster, and stop losing track of jobs and customers. You can be sending your first quote within five minutes of starting. There's nothing to install, no complicated setup, and no features you'll never need. Just the core tools that make a contractor business run: quotes, invoices, jobs, leads, customers, and payments.

Common Mistakes Contractors Make

  • Paying $80–150/month for software built for a 20-person company — you're funding features you'll never use
  • Using separate apps for quoting, invoicing, and scheduling — data is everywhere, nothing connects
  • Thinking you're too small to need a system — messy admin costs you jobs and referrals
  • Starting with the most expensive option instead of trying something first
