The headline price isn't the problem. The extras are.

Jobber and Housecall Pro don't look expensive until you add a second person, or need the feature on the tier above. For a one-person trade that's the whole bill. Here's the like-for-like.

When Jobber is the better buy

A crew of five with a dispatcher, route optimisation and a marketing suite. Jobber's higher tiers do a lot, and we don't try to.

When MyOwnTrader is

You, maybe an apprentice, a van and fifteen to thirty jobs a month. You need quotes out, jobs in the diary, invoices paid, and nothing else on the bill.

Moving over

Export your clients from Jobber as a CSV and import it here. We read Jobber's and Housecall Pro's column names, so there's no spreadsheet surgery.
