Benchbill is the quote and invoice app for one-person electrical businesses. Send the quote from the job, take a deposit when they say yes, and collect the balance when you tap Job done.
- One app from quote to paid
- No app for your customer, just a link
- Deposit taken when they accept
- Balance collected on Job done
How it works
Four moments.
No admin at night.
-
01
Price it in the kitchen.
Build the quote on your phone while you're still standing there. Line items, GST and a deposit are worked out for you.
-
02
Send it before you're back in the van.
The quote goes out as a message with a link. It's a live page, not a PDF attachment that gets lost in their inbox.
-
03
They say yes on their phone.
Your customer opens the link, reads the quote and accepts it. The deposit is paid there and then. Nothing to download, no account to make.
-
04
Tap Job done. Get paid.
When the work's finished, one tap collects the balance. The deposit is already taken off, and your customer gets the tax invoice and receipt.
Go on, press it
The best button
you'll press all day.
Every job ends the same way. You tap Job done, the balance comes out, and the money shows up as paid. No invoice to write tonight, nothing to chase next week.

The app
Built for one person,
not an office.
No dispatch board, no timesheets, no desktop setup. Everything happens on your phone, in the order a job actually happens.

Approve the payment.
With PayTo, accepting your quote also sets up a payment agreement in your customer's own bank app. The deposit comes out straight away, and the balance comes out when you tap Job done. There's no invoice to send and nothing to chase.
PayTo isn't switched on in the early-access app yet. People on the waitlist hear first when it is.
- One jobThe agreement covers this job and nothing else.
- CappedIt can't go over the quote total.
- Ends on a dateIt finishes when the job does.
- In their bankYour customer can see, pause or cancel it in their own banking app.
Card surcharges are banned in Australia from 1 October 2026.
So every card fee now comes out of your margin. Benchbill is being built around bank payments, which is where PayTo comes in.
Questions
When can I use it?
We're opening early access to a small group of electricians first. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when there's a spot.
What will it cost?
Pricing isn't set yet. The waitlist hears first, before it's public.
Does my customer need the app?
No. They get a message with a link to a web page where they read the quote, accept it and pay.
Is it on Android?
Benchbill is iPhone first. Your customers can be on any phone, since their side is a web page.
I'm not an electrician. Can I join?
Yes. We're building for solo electricians first, but plumbers, carpenters and other one-person trades are welcome on the list.
Is PayTo live?
Not yet. It's the next big piece, and we'll tell the waitlist as soon as it's switched on.
