Criteria

How we judged these Jobber alternatives

  1. Recurring work: weekly, bi-weekly and monthly visits that repeat by themselves.
  2. Crew of 1 to 10: it fits a solo owner and a small crew.
  3. Price: the published price for 1 person and for 4.
  4. Phone app: we list App Store ratings, which we could check for every app.
  5. Billing on Done: what happens when a visit is finished.
