    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.

    WorkWave Service is great for a company that can integrate it with their software for credit card processing. I feel that it can work for companies of any size. However, finding individual transactions is time-consuming. If you are a company that will need to search for transactions, it is not as easy as putting in search criteria. You have to select a date range then search through all transactions for that range, you can sort, but it can still take some time. WorkWave Service handles our workload very well and we have minimal issues with the product and the customer service.

    Cons
    Jobber - Field Service Software
    • 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.

    • Not easy or fast to locate individual transactions in the portal
    • Too many steps to view customer details
    • More user-friendly report generation in portal would be great

    There is hardly an app that covers it all while staying simple and wrapping up the process. From the filing of the request, everything goes smoothly following a natural progression. Reports are insightful, give you an instant overview and easy to understand. In addition, you can easily track any information from those on clients to expense tracking.

    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.

    • They have allowed us to continue accepting online and over the phone payments with no issues
    • We cannot refund transactions over 45 days which has increased the amount of checks we have to cut for refunds
    • ROI is acceptable
