DuckHouse

For contractors and home services

See which jobs pay best,
and how long the money takes.

Many plumbers, electricians, landscapers and cleaners quote and invoice in QuickBooks, track jobs in a spreadsheet and advertise online. DuckHouse puts those together, so you can see which quotes you win, which services earn the most and who is late paying.

Get started How it works

Works with QuickBooks Online, Google Sheets, Meta Ads and Google Analytics.

How it works

Three steps, no data team.

You keep using the tools you have. DuckHouse gathers what they know.

  1. 1. Create a database

    It runs on its own machine with its own storage. There is nothing to install.

  2. 2. Connect your tools

    Sign in or paste a key for each one. DuckHouse only reads from them, brings in your history, then keeps up, as often as every 15 minutes for Google Sheets.

  3. 3. Ask in plain English

    Connect Claude or ChatGPT to DuckHouse and ask: “Which invoices are more than 30 days past due, and who are they for?” It looks in your data and answers. How to connect an assistant.

What DuckHouse brings in from each, and how you connect it.

Sign in with your Intuit account. New data comes in as often as every hour.

Google Sheets

The job log your crews fill in: dates, crews, addresses, hours.

An example

A landscaping company with three crews

A made-up example, not a customer.

  1. 1

    The owner signs in to QuickBooks from DuckHouse and shares the crews’ job sheet.

  2. 2

    Every Monday they ask which invoices are more than 30 days late, before chasing them.

  3. 3

    In winter they ask which months were busiest the last two years, and which services won the most quotes.

What it costs

Pay for the hours it runs.

The smallest database is $0.0117 an hour while it runs. Left on all month with its 10 GB disk, it comes to $10.80. Set it to stop when idle and you pay for the hours it is awake, plus the disk. Data kept in object storage is $0.02 per GB a month.

Every sync wakes the database, so one synced every 15 minutes is awake most of the day. Syncing every hour, or once a day, lets it sleep in between, and you can change that per connection whenever you like.

Questions

Before you start.

Do I need to know SQL?
No. Connect Claude or ChatGPT to DuckHouse and ask in plain English; it writes the query and shows you the answer. If you or your bookkeeper know SQL, the dashboard has a query console too.
Will DuckHouse change anything in my other tools?
No. Connections only read. DuckHouse copies your data into your own database and never writes back to Square, QuickBooks, Shopify, Stripe or anything else.
Who can see my data?
Your database runs on its own machine with its own storage, and only people you invite to your organization can open it. AI assistants reach it only after someone in your organization signs them in, and they can only read unless you allow more.
Can my bookkeeper or manager use it too?
Yes. Invite them to your organization and they can ask questions of the same data.
What if my software isn’t listed?
Most business software can export CSV files. Save them to an SFTP or FTP folder and DuckHouse loads them on a schedule, or keep the data in a Google Sheet. PostgreSQL and MySQL databases connect directly.
What does it cost?
The smallest database is $0.0117 an hour while it runs. Left on all month with its 10 GB disk, it comes to $10.80. Set it to stop when idle and you pay for the hours it is awake, plus the disk. Data kept in object storage is $0.02 per GB a month. There are no contracts or minimums.

Put your numbers in one place.

No contracts and no minimums. Connect the tools you use, and stop the database whenever you like.
