Which job software actually fits your shop?

11 quick questions for small trade shops (1–20 people). You get the one or two tools worth a trial, what to watch out for, and a straight answer if a spreadsheet is still enough.

What this is (and isn’t)

Field-service software (Jobber, Housecall Pro, Workiz and the rest) can save an office manager real hours on scheduling, quotes and chasing payments. It can also turn into a $300-a-month habit nobody uses. This picker compares the tools on what they post publicly: price, which plan a feature lives on, and trial terms. Then it matches them to how your shop works.

We have not run paid accounts of every tool. Where a vendor hides its prices, we say so. We don’t invent star ratings or reviews. See how we pick.
