Pick Jobber if
- You send quotes, book customers on a calendar and collect card payments in the app.
- You want client-facing invoices and payment links built in.
Pick MaintenanceRequestDesk if
- Your work comes in as requests from tenants, staff or customers, and you need to assign, track and close it.
- You already invoice in QuickBooks or another tool and want a CSV of done slips with hours and notes.
- You don’t want card processing fees on your jobs. We don’t process payments, so there are none.
Reviewers of Jobber mention that the price climbs as you add users and that built-in card fees add up. Those are fair trade-offs if you use everything it does. Read the Coast comparison too.
