# About Pricebookr

The master price book for the trades — built by a small team that thinks pricing deserves better than a spreadsheet.

## What Pricebookr is

Pricebookr is a standalone price book for field-service businesses — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and any trade managing hundreds or thousands of priced items. It's the system of record for your catalog: markup and margin schedules by cost band, multiple price tiers on the same item, role-based access, full version history with rollback, two-way Jobber sync, and import-ready exports for QuickBooks Online and Housecall Pro.

## Why it exists

Field-service platforms are excellent at scheduling, quoting, and invoicing — and almost universally treat the price list as an afterthought. The result is familiar to anyone who's run a shop: prices maintained in spreadsheets, bulk updates done by CSV surgery, retail and wholesale drifting apart in duplicate entries, and nobody able to say what a price was last quarter or who changed it. Pricebookr exists to be the pricing layer those platforms never built.

## How we think about the product

A few principles we hold ourselves to: **every feature on every plan** — plans differ by team size, not by withholding capability. **Your data is yours** — full CSV export, no lock-in. **Changes are reversible** — every price change is versioned and whole-catalog snapshots make bulk operations safe to try. **We complement your tools** — Pricebookr feeds Jobber, QuickBooks, and Housecall Pro rather than asking you to replace them.

## Who's behind it

Pricebookr is built and run by **Kyle Strouse**, its founder. It's an independent product — no outside sales team, no offshore support queue. When you email support, the person who answers is the person who builds the software.
