Why contractors move to Booxt

It makes invoices — Booxt runs the job

Invoice Simple is a digital invoice pad. Booxt drafts the estimate from a text, books the visit, collects the deposit, dispatches crew, then invoices — the whole job, not just the paper.

No typing

Text the notes and Booxt prices the estimate. Invoice Simple makes you enter every line item yourself, every time.

Gets you paid faster

Deposit paid right from the emailed estimate — straight to your own Stripe — and an auto-invoice the moment they accept, not a PDF you email and chase.

In fairness: Invoice Simple is genuinely cheap and fine if all you need is to email a tidy invoice now and then. Booxt costs more because it’s an assistant that runs the whole job — estimates, deposits, scheduling, crew — not just an invoice form.

Estimates in minutes. Paid in seconds.
