In short: against Obat, on October 25 and 26, 2026 I recorded Tolteck from 19 to 25 € HT, Batappli at 39 or 79 € HT and Kwixéo from 18.33 to 74.17 € HT per month. Obat suits a construction tradesperson whose quotes look alike from one job to the next. Custom software doesn't beat the 3,924 € HT of Obat Croissance for three people over three years, unless the way you work fits no plan.
Obat is the most prominent quoting and invoicing software for construction artisans: 21,000 announced professionals, a Google rating of 4.9 out of 5 displayed on its pricing page, and a library of 30,000 technical guides. It’s often the first name plumbers, electricians, and masons mention when they want to stop using Word and Excel. Before recommending anything, I reviewed its pricing page on October 26, 2026, as well as those of other construction software that also publish their prices. Here’s who Obat is right for, what might make you hesitate, three alternatives with their prices, and the case where none fit.
What Obat Costs in 2026
As of October 26, 2026, Obat offers three plans, excluding taxes, billed per company, with two pricing grids: one for micro-entrepreneurs and one for sole artisans and small businesses (TPE-PME), the latter two at the same price. For micro-entrepreneurs: Pro at €32 per month with no commitment or €25 per month paid annually (€300 excl. tax), Growth at €52 or €45 (€540), and Booster at €95 or €85 (€1,020). For a sole artisan or a small business: Pro at €49 or €39 (€468 excl. tax per year), Growth at €79 or €69 (€828), and Booster at €129 or €109 (€1,308).
What’s included: quotes and invoices, a library of 30,000 technical guides with pricing and installation times, 330 quote templates, iOS and Android apps, electronic invoicing, and support five days a week for micro-entrepreneurs and six days a week for others. Growth and Booster plans add team and activity tracking features, with details varying by status: check the column that applies to you. A free trial is offered, though the page doesn’t specify its duration, and the monthly plan can be canceled anytime.
Options quickly add up: €20 per month (€200 per year) per additional user, €29 per month for AI-powered voice quotes beyond the two included, a website starting at €599 per year, e-reputation from €399 per year, and €0.40 per certified photo.
Who Obat Is Right For
A construction artisan, working alone or with one or two employees, who wants software set up in an afternoon, quotes based on a pre-priced library of technical guides, and hassle-free electronic invoicing. If your quotes are similar from one job to the next (e.g., bathroom renovations, electrical panel replacements, heat pump installations) and your main challenge is producing them quickly and neatly, the Pro plan at €39 per month paid annually does the job. Growth is for artisans who want to track their activity, and Booster is for businesses with employees across multiple job sites.
What Might Make You Hesitate
Two pricing grids depending on your status. The same software costs €25 per month for micro-entrepreneurs and €39 for artisans in a company, paid annually. If you change status, your subscription price changes: ask in writing what happens in that case.
The price per additional user. Obat is billed per company, but each collaborator who creates quotes or performs interventions costs an extra €20 per month. A sole artisan and two team leaders on the Growth plan, for example, pay €69 plus €40, totaling €109 per month annually—not €69.
Options that feel like a second subscription. AI-powered voice quotes, websites, e-reputation, and certified photos: each feature has its own price. Calculate the total cost of what you’ll actually use before comparing with fixed-price providers.
The trial with no stated duration and the annual pricing. The highlighted price is the annual rate. Start with the monthly plan, complete a full job cycle from quote to invoice—including down payments and 10% VAT—then decide.
Three Alternatives to Obat, With Their Prices
Prices listed on each provider’s website, checked on October 25 and 26, 2026.
Tolteck, €19 to €25 excl. tax per month. One plan only: €25 excl. tax per month with no commitment, or €19 excl. tax per month paid for twelve months (€228 excl. tax per year), with a free one-month trial and over 35% discount advertised for businesses under five years old. Quotes and invoices, technical guides library, PC, Mac, tablet, and phone compatibility, and offline functionality. No scheduling, job tracking, or inventory management: this is the tool for a sole artisan who wants quotes and invoices—and nothing else. I’ve detailed Tolteck’s case in another article.
Batappli, 39 or 79 € HT per month. Batappli Quote at 39 € HT per month (429 € HT per year): unlimited quotes and invoices, deposits, credits, statements, accounting exports, and an AI agent for eight quotes per month. Batappli Tradesman at 79 € HT (869 € HT per year) adds online payments, inventory, suppliers, job sites, maintenance contracts, and user rights. 19 € HT per month (209 € per year) per additional user or company, with a 10-day trial. The most comprehensive of the three for a company managing job sites and maintenance contracts.
Kwixéo, 18.33 to 74.17 € HT per month. Essential at 18.33 € HT per month (22 € monthly displayed), Pro at 49.17 € (59 €), Expert at 74.17 € (89 €), one user included, then 5 to 8.33 € HT per additional user depending on the plan, with a 14-day trial without a card or commitment. CRM, quotes, invoices, banking, and inventory in a single app; electronic invoicing for sending and receiving from the first plan; Expert adds job sites, technician interface, progress invoices, and warranty withholdings. A generalist French management software that also suits garages and shops, less focused on construction than Obat or Batappli in its library.
To compare these software tools in one table and determine which suits your business, visit my pages software for plumber-heating engineer and software for electrician: a free six-question test, the rules to follow in 2026, and a free downloadable quote template for each trade. If your technicians chain client visits, Organilog, billed per user, is another name to consider: I discuss it in my article on alternatives to Organilog.
And if none fit: the custom tool
Obat, Tolteck, and Batappli handle quotes and invoices well. Where they fall short is on what’s specific to your business: the commissioning report with your own checkpoints, tracking the Consuel file or maintenance certificate per job site, logging each worker’s hours against the quote, or a quote that reflects your packages and wholesale prices without re-entering data. At Kodeva, I worked on Gest-Time, a time-tracking software per job site still used by SMEs, and a field technician customer service app that works offline: these are the missing pieces in generalist editors’ offerings.
On pricing, a custom add-on next to your quoting software costs 2,500 to 7,000 € once. A complete tool ranges from 5,000 to 15,000 € upfront, plus 100 to 300 € per month for maintenance, hosting, and backups included, and you own the code. Over three years, Obat Growth for a tradesman and two employees costs 3,924 € HT annually, Booster with the same setup costs 5,364 € HT. Custom solutions don’t always win on cost: they win when your workflow doesn’t fit any standard formula. My custom software pricing barometer provides price ranges from 14 French providers to verify a quote.
How to choose in one day
Take the six-question test on my page for the relevant trade. Then put the software through its paces during the trial: create a renovation quote with your supplies and hourly rate, get it accepted, then invoice it with the deposit and 10% VAT, and the document you give to the client at the end. Count the real users and the options you will actually tick. If you have to re-enter something, you have your answer.
