Marq VS OhmFlow

OhmFlow's answer:

• Built for one person, not scaled down from a team tool. Most invoicing software in this space is designed for shops with dispatchers, crews, and multiple techs, then feature-stripped or repriced for solo use as an afterthought. OhmFlow was built from the start for one guy running one truck.

• AI invoicing that actually saves time in the field. Type job notes or snap a photo, and it becomes a ready-to-send invoice in about 45 seconds. No manually filling out line items on a form.

• Founder-built from real conversations, not a feature checklist. It came out of talking to more than 70 electricians about what actually slows them down, not a generic product roadmap adapted from another trade.

• Every feature came from an actual paying customer. Room-by-room invoicing, PO fields, and the material cost book all exist because a real electrician using the product asked for them.

• Founder-led support, not a ticket queue. Questions and issues go straight to the person who built the product, not a support team working off a script.

• Price locked for life for early customers. $97/month, guaranteed to stay at that price through future price increases and new features for the first founding members.

• Material cost tracking tied directly to profitability. The pricing book updates from real supplier invoices and receipts, so a solo contractor can see what a job actually made, not just what was billed.

OhmFlow's answer:

• It's built for exactly one kind of business, not adapted for it. Solo electrical contractors get software designed around how they actually work, not a scaled-down version of a tool built for shops with dispatchers and multiple techs.

• Invoicing takes seconds, not minutes. Type job notes or snap a photo, and OhmFlow turns it into a ready-to-send invoice in about 45 seconds, right from the job site.

• The price doesn't change on you. Founding members lock in $97/month for life, including through future price increases and new features, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

• Support comes from the person who built it. No ticket queue, no scripted responses. Questions go straight to the founder.

• Every feature came from a real electrician, not a roadmap meeting. Room-by-room invoicing, PO fields, and the material cost book all exist because an actual paying customer asked for them.

• It shows real job profitability, not just what got billed. The material pricing book updates from supplier invoices and receipts, so a contractor can see what a job actually made.

• Getting paid doesn't require chasing anyone. Stripe payment collection and automatic past-due tracking are built into the app, not bolted on.

OhmFlow's answer:

OhmFlow is built for solo electrical contractors, electricians running their own business without a crew or dispatcher. It's designed for someone who's out doing the work during the day and handling invoicing and payment collection on their own time, usually from a phone rather than a desk.

OhmFlow's answer:

• OhmFlow started with conversations, not a spec sheet. Before building anything, I talked to more than 70 electricians about how they actually ran their invoicing and got paid. The same problems kept coming up: paper invoices, chasing payment, no easy way to see if a job actually made money.

• The first version came together after one of those conversations turned into a live demo, then a same-day close. That customer became the first real user and shaped a lot of what the product does today, from room-by-room invoicing to how the material cost book works.

• The goal was never to build another all-in-one platform. It was to build the smallest, fastest tool that actually fits how a one-truck electrician works day to day.
