Jobber vs. Ringostat

The cost of Jobber is not suitable for a startup - even our company size is hard pressed to squeeze in other areas of business to afford the cost. Zenmaid or other maid-forward services may be better suited since Jobber seems to focus it's offerings on one-off as opposed to recurring services like ours. For business who do in-person estimates like ours, the streamlined estimate feature which causes increased conversion rates makes it worth the cost - as we anecdotally gain more business this way. However, if we switch to an online booking / instant booking model as opposed to in-person estimates, we may not require this feature. Zenmaid has a "gamified" residential booking page that was extremely high converting for us - we received sometimes 30+ inquiries per day due to the ease of use - MANY more completed inquiries than we receive now - but they didn't have a quoting and deposit collection tool - so here we are. If we used their instant booking feature we would have stayed due to the scheduling tool, gap finder, prevention of double booking employees, and cleaning service focus, as well as significantly reduced pricing.

• For us, sometimes doesn't save the data, just gone, especially terrible if you have a data interruption since it has zero offline capability.
• I think the price is way high now, made the mistake of 'upgrading' and cannot go back.
• In my experience, way too easy to create a duplicate entry of anything, then near impossible to clean up, unless you notice it immediately.
• I found no merge functionality. Same client has two entries? Too bad.
• In my experience, does not work with Xero accounting software, took a long time to figure that out especially since they advertise it and that was why we chose both of them, for the supposed integration. For us, Quickbooks was also a pain.
• In my experience, the app is unusable, must use the web version on a mobile device.
• In my experience, the integrated payment processing cannot accept debit in Canada, only credit cards.

• Lacking of full support for end-to-end analytics.
• Price. It might be expensive for small companies with a not so huge amount of traffic.

Square only allows for scheduling to one person. And my team couldn’t see their schedules. As a cleaning company, I need to let cleaners know what their pay is without them seeing what I’m charging. That’s game changer about Kobber.

We chose this service because of these reasons: 1. It's an all-in-one solution for virtual PBX and call tracking. 2. The ability to fully track the personal efficiency of our managers. 3. It's a complete solution, our manager could call from the browser without installing apps, also service provided full info about the client before calling. 4. All calls can be recorded, so we had all the history of calls to check out the work of our managers. 5. Has a trial period to check out if this solution could satisfy our needs.
