What subcontractors say about Kaliun
“I'm a one-man plumbing shop. Before Kaliun, I was doing invoices at midnight and losing track of which jobs were profitable. Now I invoice from my truck and get paid the same day.”
Carlos Mendez
Owner, Mendez Plumbing
“We run a 6-person electrical crew. The scheduling alone saves us 2 hours a day. No more phone tag with clients, they get automatic confirmations and reminders.”
Tony Russo
Owner, Russo Electric
“As an HVAC company, we have seasonal spikes. Kaliun helps us capture and follow up on leads during peak season when we're too busy to call everyone back.”
Lisa Park
Operations Manager, ComfortZone HVAC

Subcontractor software questions
Is Kaliun worth it for a one-person operation?
Absolutely. Our Starter plan at $49/mo is designed for solo operators and small crews. If it saves you 5 hours of admin per week and helps you get paid 3 days faster, it pays for itself many times over.
Do I need to be at a computer to use Kaliun?
No. Kaliun's mobile app gives you full access to invoicing, scheduling, lead management, and job costing from your phone. Most trade professionals use the app 90% of the time.
Can my clients pay online?
Yes. When you send an invoice, clients get a link to pay by credit card or ACH bank transfer. You can also enable auto-pay for recurring service contracts.
What trades does Kaliun work for?
Kaliun works for all specialty trades including electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, painters, roofers, landscapers, flooring installers, and more. The platform adapts to your specific workflow.
Can I track my team's time and labor costs?
Yes. Team members can clock in/out from the mobile app with GPS tracking. Labor hours are automatically calculated against job budgets so you know your true cost per job.
What is the best software for subcontractors?
The best subcontractor software handles estimates, job costing, scheduling, and invoicing in one place without enterprise complexity. Kaliun gives specialty trade subs all of that on their phone for a flat $279 per month with unlimited users, plus a 14-day free trial with no credit card.
How much does subcontractor software cost?
Most tools charge per user or per technician, so the bill grows as you add crew. Kaliun is a flat $279 per month for unlimited users, with no per-seat fees and a 14-day free trial. One predictable price covers your whole team in the office and the field.
Can I track job costs and profit as a subcontractor?
Yes. Kaliun tracks labor, materials, and expenses against each job in real time, so you see profit margin per job instead of guessing at year end. That helps you bid the next job more accurately and stop taking work that loses money.
