Tech Ops vs Jobber

Both run service work from a phone. Jobber has been at it a long time with home-service businesses. Here's how they line up, as straight as I can make it.

03 Where Jobber is stronger

Credit where it’s due

Jobber is built around home-service businesses and has years of track record with them. If that's your shop, a lot of people like you already use it.

Its plans include things Tech Ops doesn't have: a professional website, online job booking, automated reminders and follow-ups, two-way texting with customers, and, on the top plan, a marketing suite, an AI receptionist and dedicated onboarding. Online payments and a QuickBooks Online sync are on their plans today; in Tech Ops both are still coming.

04 Where Tech Ops is different

What you get with Tech Ops

One flat price per person
$25 a seat a month, or $40 with the AI tools. No tiers: every seat gets every feature, whether you have 2 techs or 40.
Clients are free
Your customers log in to the client portal at no charge. They put in their own service calls, approve quotes and sign off work.
Inventory per truck and shelf
Every van, shelf and warehouse is its own stock location. Techs move parts onto the job, ask another truck for a part, and every move is logged.
Sites, assets and walkthroughs
Equipment at each site with its service history and QR labels, PM schedules, floor plans and a walk-through view of the site.
Three languages
English, Spanish and French. Each person picks their own.
Built by a field tech
I'm a tech, and I build and run it myself. Bug reports from inside the app come straight to me.
Trial
30 days for your whole team, no card.

A couple of things Tech Ops doesn't do yet: customers paying invoices online by card, and a live QuickBooks Online sync. Both are coming. Today the invoice list exports to a spreadsheet for your accountant.

05 Which one fits

Who each one is for

If you're a residential home-service business that wants marketing, booking and payments in the same tool, Jobber is worth a look. If you're a small trade shop that lives on sites, equipment and parts on the trucks, and you want one price per person with clients free, that's what I built Tech Ops for.
