Tolteck Alternative: Which Estimate Software Should Electricians or Plumbers Choose in 2026?

In short: Tolteck costs 25 € HT per month, 19 € HT paid annually, and on October 20, 2026 I recorded Obat from 49 to 129 € HT, Batappli at 39 or 79 € HT per month and Organilog from 19 to 64 € per user per month. Tolteck suits a sole tradesperson who wants quotes done fast, even from the job site. Custom software doesn't beat the 684 € HT of Tolteck over three years, unless the software costs an hour a day in re-entry.

Tolteck is the quoting and invoicing software most often mentioned by electricians and plumbers who write to me: one single offer, a displayed price, and it works on-site without internet. Before recommending anything, I re-read its pricing page on October 20, 2026, then those of other construction software that also publish their prices. Here’s who Tolteck is the right choice for, what might make you hesitate, three alternatives with their prices, and when a custom tool is justified.

What Tolteck Costs in 2026

As of October 20, 2026, Tolteck offers a single plan: 25 € HT per month with no commitment, or 19 € HT per month paid for twelve months, totaling 228 € HT per year. It includes a free trial month, and a 35% discount is advertised for businesses under five years old, on a separate page. The page does not list TTC prices.

What’s included: quotes and invoices with your logo, integrated library of works, VAT rate and franchise management, automatic document status updates, activity dashboard, material and work management, onboarding assistance, unlimited support based in France via phone, chat, and email, and remote training. The software runs on PC, Mac, tablet, and smartphone, and works offline.

Who Tolteck Is Right For

A solo artisan or a very small team—electrician, plumber, heating engineer, or mason—whose needs can be summed up in one sentence: creating clean, quick quotes, sometimes from the job site, then turning them into invoices, for a fixed price. If you’re still invoicing on Word or Excel, have no team schedule or inventory to track, this is one of the simplest tools on the market to get started with, and the free trial month is enough to tell.

What Might Make You Hesitate

Only one plan, so some features are missing. The page doesn’t list scheduling, job tracking, intervention reports, inventory, or electronic signatures. For an electrician handling frequent repairs and installations, or a plumber with maintenance contracts, these three documents are managed elsewhere.

Nothing about electronic invoicing. The pricing page doesn’t mention the reform. SMEs will have to issue electronic invoices starting September 1, 2027: ask in writing for the expected implementation date before committing to a twelve-month plan. I’ve detailed the changes in my article on electronic invoicing for artisans.

A Team? The page doesn’t mention additional users. If two people create quotes, ask about the number of accounts and their cost.

The 19 € price locks you in for a year. The highlighted rate assumes paying 228 € HT upfront. Monthly, it’s 25 € HT with no commitment: start there instead.

Three Alternatives to Tolteck, With Their Prices

Prices listed on each publisher’s website, checked on October 20, 2026.

Obat, 49 to 129 € HT per month. Pro at 49 € excl. tax (39 € per year): unlimited quotes and invoices, a library of 30,000 construction books with pricing and installation times, unlimited electronic signatures, compliance with the electronic invoice reform via the approved Iopole platform. Growth at 79 € excl. tax (69 € per year) adds a calendar, and for a small business, the team schedule and workload plan. Booster at 129 € excl. tax (109 € per year) adds a website, a logo, and a project manager. For VAT-exempt micro-enterprises, the three plans cost 32, 52, and 95 € per month (25, 45, and 85 € per year). Team member access is an option. It’s the most comprehensive alternative for quotes: more expensive than Tolteck, but with installation times, signatures, and electronic invoicing handled.

Batappli, 39 or 79 € excl. tax per month. Batappli Quote at 39 € excl. tax per month (429 € excl. tax per year): unlimited quotes and invoices, deposits, credits, statements, and an AI assistant for quote creation. Batappli Tradesman at 79 € excl. tax (869 € excl. tax per year) adds inventory, job tracking, maintenance contracts, and work orders. 19 € excl. tax per additional user per month, with a 10-day free trial. The right choice for a plumber or HVAC technician who wants maintenance contracts in the same tool as their invoices.

Organilog, 19 to 64 € per user and per month. Pro at 19 € for interventions, scheduling, and offline mobile app; Business at 35 € to add quotes, invoices, and signatures. Billed per user: interesting when your technicians—not your quotes—handle daily tasks. I detailed the case ofOrganilog in another article.

To compare these software tools in one table and determine which suits your business, visit my pages on software for electricians and software for plumbers-HVAC technicians: a free six-question test, the rules to follow in 2026, and a free downloadable quote template for each trade.

And if none fit: the custom tool

Tolteck, Obat, and Batappli handle quotes and invoices well. Where they fall short is on what’s unique to your business: the commissioning report with your own checks, tracking Consuel dossiers or maintenance certificates per job, tracking each worker’s hours per job, quotes that reflect your packages and wholesale rates without re-entry. I developed Gest-Time, a time-tracking software still used by SMEs, for this kind of need: a tool that does one thing, exactly how the business operates.

On pricing, an add-on integrated with your quoting software costs 2,500 to 7,000 € one-time. A complete tool ranges from 5,000 to 15,000 € upfront with me, plus 100 to 300 € per month for maintenance, hosting, and backups included, and you own the code. Over three years, Tolteck costs 684 € excl. tax per year, Obat Pro 1,404 € excl. tax. Custom solutions don’t win on cost: they win when the software saves you an hour daily by eliminating re-entry or workarounds. My custom software pricing barometer provides ranges from 14 French providers to verify a quote.

How to Choose in One Day

Take the six-question test on my page for your trade. Then run a real day through the software during its trial: a renovation quote for an electrical panel or a water heater replacement with your supplies and hourly rate, accepted and then invoiced with 10% VAT, a deposit, and the document you give the client at the end. If you re-enter anything, you’ll re-enter it every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tolteck free?
No: one free trial month until October 20, 2026, then 25 € VAT-exclusive per month with no commitment or 19 € VAT-exclusive per month paid for twelve months. Companies less than five years old are eligible for a 35% announced discount.

Does Tolteck work without internet?
Yes, the page claims it works offline on PC, Mac, tablet, and smartphone. Check during the trial that a quote created in a basement syncs to the office computer when the network reconnects.

Does Tolteck handle electronic invoicing?
The pricing page doesn’t mention it. SMEs will need to issue electronic invoices starting September 1, 2027: ask for the planned date in writing. Obat already claims compliance via an approved platform.

What’s an alternative to Tolteck with scheduling?
Obat Growth at 79 € VAT-exclusive per month (calendar, then scheduling and workload planning for small businesses), Batappli Artisan at 79 € VAT-exclusive (job tracking and work orders), or Organilog Business at 35 € per user (scheduling and mobile interventions).

What quoting software is best for an electrician or plumber just starting out?
A tool under 30 € per month is enough: Tolteck at 25 € VAT-exclusive or Obat Pro at 32 € for micro-entrepreneurs covers quotes, invoices, and reduced VAT. A custom solution wouldn’t be cost-effective for a solo professional.
