Free invoicing software for contractors, with the payment link built in.
Send the invoice from the driveway, let the client pay by card or bank transfer from the link, and let the reminders go out on their own. WorkBench FSM's invoicing is part of a free core plan, not a trial, for plumbers, electricians, HVAC, lawn care, cleaning and every home-service trade.
How it works
Invoice from the job
The job's line items become the invoice in one click, with your logo, your price book names, and the sales tax you set once. Edit anything before it goes.
The client pays from a link
Send it by email or text. The client taps the link and pays by card or bank transfer on their phone, with no account to make. The invoice marks itself paid.
Reminders without the awkward call
An unpaid invoice gets a reminder on the due date and again after, in your business's name, until it is paid. Clients who keep a card on file can be charged automatically.
What's included
All of it is in Core, the free plan.
One-click invoicing
Finish a job, send the invoice. Clients pay from a link on their phone; deposits and partial payments are first-class, not a workaround.
Card & ACH built in
Every invoice, quote, and booking can take card or bank payments — 2.95% + 30¢ per card transaction and 0.70%, $1–$8 per ACH transfer company-paid, or a client service fee of 3.50% + 30¢ card and 0.75%, $1–$8 ACH. No monthly fees, no minimums.
Payment reminders
Unpaid invoices get escalating reminders — on the due date, then 3, 7, and 14 days after — that stop the moment the money lands.
Saved cards & autopay
Clients keep a card on file, recurring work charges itself, and a declined card retries on a smart schedule with the client nudged to update it — before you ever have to make the awkward call.
Deposits up front
Collect a deposit at quote approval — card or bank transfer — so the job is funded before the truck rolls.
Products & services price book
Your services live in one price book with set rates — quotes and invoices pull from it, and a service can be marked recurring to start a plan automatically when it sells.
Client hub
A magic-link portal — no account, no password — where clients see upcoming visits, review invoices, sign agreements, request more work, and pay.
Payouts & refunds
Payouts go straight to your bank on an automatic schedule, and a refund is one button — full or partial — with the records kept clean for your bookkeeper.
Know when they've looked
See when a client opens a quote or document, so you follow up at the right moment instead of guessing.
From the field

“I used to juggle texts, a spreadsheet, and a separate card reader. Now a customer books online, I send the quote from my phone, and they pay the invoice from a link. One app instead of five.”
BrendanOwner, Excellent PC Building“Install season is a sprint. WorkBench keeps every house on the route in order, the crew knows exactly where to go, and deposits are in before we ever pull out a ladder.”
