I felt Jobber is easier to use than yardbook. The Jobber App is huge and so easy to use in the field. Yardbook doesn’t offer an app for IOS as of this date.
Jobber is a one stop for all program and a lot easier in usage. It is a lot more streamlined and everything is way more transparent for both the clients and employees. Time tracking is also very accurate and gps is also tracked which makes it very nice. Client also has the …
More expensive than Jobber and more complicated. Pretty much does the same tasks. I canceled after 2 days of Housecall Pro and continued using Jobber. Jobber makes my life simple and I need that while running a busy cleaning company.
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 looked at Housecall Pro, Fieldroutes, and Skedulo. Jobber seemed like a better fit and came highly recommended by someone who has another property management company.
(FieldEdge) Jobber has a much better mobile app that is intuitive and easily used. Also, the process flows better its natural progression, it is much simpler (the competition was adding and adding features) and serves all the needs with its simplicity, it is much neater in the …
From the high end, with all the "bells and whistles" to the low end, "build it yourself" systems. Kickserv simply offered the best ROI when considering onboarding and training time, QB integration, and improved customer experience. Kickserv brings a lot of professionalism right …
It was pretty good. I think just the simplicity would make me choose this over something else that I have seen and used in the industry. I wish they would just address the issues noted.
We looked at 8 different systems. This system is perfect for our small construction company. Everything else was too expensive, or too simple, or too complex.
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.
We use KickServ for nearly every aspect of our operation and cannot think of a scenario when it is "inappropriate" or "less appropriate". It is the backbone of our operation and is used for everything from data gathering to estimates to invoices to payments and accounts receivables to reports to tracking to storage of photos and past invoices. Better searching abilities would be good instead of having to create tags for things we don't know we are going to need later.
The recurring job feature was key to our decision in selecting Jobber. There's a lot of flexibility in how you schedule recurring work. I especially like that you can select the frequency (weekly, monthly) coupled with either a specific date or day of the week/month.
Client email reminders help our clients know when we're coming and provide an important point of contact. Customizing the email was easy.
Client overview. It's extremely helpful to be able to view a client's record and see the upcoming visits along with the completed work.
Organization - keeps everything organized nicely and has several different filters that you can use to view only the information you need.
Simple website - this was important because you want it to load quickly when you are in the office and on the road.
Database - keeps track of the things that you enter. This is nice when trying to get information on a product or a price when requested by the customer.
When I open Jobber for daily use, we frequently need to clear advertisements - specifically regarding referring Jobber to others. If it were related to product updates, it may be more relevant, but consistent referral promotions or online web-events are not what I want to clear when I just want to get to work in my expensive crm software
Reports are frustratingly bulky and inconsistently formatted - the report generator doesn't include all reports, most notably missing is timesheets. An extra step to view the list of available reports was recently added after additions to paid, optional service offerings were placed higher on the menu, requiring scrolling to reach the reports.
A web developer was hired by us to streamline some of our necessary reports into a calculation / report upload tool. Further changes were made to the actual reports on Jobber's end that were (very minorly helpful for us and not worth the cost or the effort put into the upgrade that I could tell, in the fact that) we have to pay the developer to rework our calculation tool due to simple changes in the order of the columns
Scheduling - we were optimistic about the beta schedule but the absence of dispatch view is a glaring gap. Additional page realestate is used in the beta mode that makes less of the schedule visible. Changes were made to "complete" job's next steps that add work for us.
Some of the reports are difficult for us to extract the data that we want. Sometimes I will get duplicated data, so I have to dump the files into Excel to make sure I've extracted any duplicates.
Never was able to log in to the Android App, so I just gave up and kept using the mobile browser based option.
Jobber is an easy-to-use and friendly software designed for efficiency. Its interface is well-organized, ensuring that each section is intuitive and accessible. Users can navigate smoothly through tasks, making project management simpler. Overall, Jobber enhances productivity and streamlines operations, making it a valuable tool for various projects.
It is intuitive enough, but there is some training that will be necessary because of a perceived redundancy within their workflow. It can be hard to distinguish which stage a customer is in (thus what the most important thing to be working on, if you are in sales, for instance) without some training.
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.
Very good technical help. The team is well-versed in their product and what to look for, particularly when interacting with other software platforms. You nearly always get a live person when you call, and if you don't, they will return your call promptly. This is another factor in my client's decision to move forward with their solution.

For companies in construction, worksite management, or piece-work or punch-list management needs who are currently running disparate, disconnected systems. Kickserv is among the best at getting them up to speed and running in an all-digital platform... fast.
