Every tech. Every office seat. One price.

Most field software charges by the technician, so growing costs you more every time you hire. JobAce is $599.99 a month for the whole company — unlimited users, projects and service, office and field.

No credit card. Nothing limited during the trial. Add your whole crew on day one.

The per-seat math

The bigger your shop, the less this costs.

Per-technician pricing punishes you for hiring. A flat price does the opposite — every person you add makes the software cheaper per head. Move the slider and see where your shop lands.

Put your own numbers in. If you have a real quote in front of you, use that rate — the comparison is only worth anything if the figure is yours. The default is a mid-range per-user price; enterprise field-service platforms are often quoted well above it.

What it runs

Most shops do two kinds of work.
Most software only handles one.

Service tools can't run a bid or a submittal log. Construction tools can't run a maintenance agreement. If you do both, you end up with two systems and a spreadsheet between them. JobAce runs both, on the same customers, the same crew and the same clock.

Projects & new construction

The GC side

Months-long jobs with drawings, submittals, inspections and a punch walk at the end.

  • Bid boards that price separately, each with its own margin
  • Plans, specs and submittals with deep zoom and markup
  • Milestones, change orders, COIs, permits, inspections
  • Punch lists with photos, and a report you can hand over
  • Budget vs actual, fed by real clock-ins and real receipts
Service & maintenance

The service side

Calls, contracts and repeat customers who expect you to remember their building.

  • Agreements that schedule their own visits and bill on a cycle
  • Quotes the customer approves and signs on their phone
  • Multi-site customers with a separate bill-to
  • NTE caps, PO numbers, SLA hours, priority tiers
  • Review requests that catch the unhappy ones privately
The parts crews actually use

Built for the truck, not the trade show.

One-tap job photos

The camera stays open. Shoot, dictate a description, shoot again. Ten photos takes about a minute — which is the difference between a documented job and an empty photo tab.

Drawings that work with no signal

Upload a PDF set and it becomes zoomable sheets. Open them before you drive out and they stay cached on the device — no re-downloading a 42-sheet set on one bar of LTE.

Hours that land on the right job

Clock in from the dashboard, switch jobs without clocking out, and the labour cost shows up on that job's budget at the rate that was in force that week — not today's rate.

Crew map, on the clock only

See who's where while they're clocked in. Tracking starts at clock-in and stops at clock-out — the server refuses a location outside a shift, so you can tell your crew that and mean it.

Loose Ends finds what got dropped

Not a list someone maintains — it's computed from the work. Visits with no photos, unticked checklist items, inspections inside five days. You can't clear it by deleting rows.

Quotes signed in the driveway

Build the quote on site with photos, text the customer a link, and they approve and sign on their own phone. No account, no app, no waiting until Thursday.

Everywhere the work happens

Same account. Three screens.

Computer

Bidding, payroll, financials and building next week's schedule. The full sidebar and the widest tables.

iPad

The drawings machine. Read a sheet at size, mark it up with an Apple Pencil, walk a punch list.

iPhone

Clock in, shoot photos, fill the truck checklist, look up a job from the cab. Install from the App Store.

Straight answer

Who this is for — and who it isn't.

A flat $599.99 is a bargain for some shops and too much for others. We'd rather tell you now than have you find out in week three.

A good fit

  • Enough people that per-seat pricing has started to hurt
  • You do both project work and service work
  • You're being quoted per-technician somewhere else
  • Photos, timesheets and job costs live in three places
  • You've stopped trusting what a job actually made

Probably not yet

  • A small crew — run the numbers above; per-seat may well be cheaper
  • You want accounting — JobAce tracks job cost, it doesn't keep your books
  • You need a trade we don't cover well yet
  • Nobody in the office will own the rollout
Questions

The things contractors actually ask.

Is it really unlimited users?

Yes. One price for the company, whatever your headcount. There is no per-seat charge anywhere in the product, so there is no reason for your techs to share a login — which matters, because shared logins destroy the two things this software is for: whose hours are whose, and who was on site.

What happens after the 14 days?

The app stops loading data and shows a screen explaining the trial ended. Nothing is deleted. Subscribing turns everything back on exactly as you left it. No card is needed to start the trial, so nothing charges you automatically.

Will my crew actually use it?

That depends more on your rollout than on the software, and we'd rather be honest about it. The rollouts that work start with one habit — clock in and clock out — for a week, with the owner looking at it every morning. Photos come second. The schedule moves over third. There's a full training course built into the app covering exactly this, written for each role and each device.

Does it work without signal?

Drawings do, if you open them before you leave — sheets you've viewed stay cached on the device, which is the whole point of the tile cache. Photos and time entries sync when the connection returns. It is not a fully offline app and we won't pretend otherwise.

Do you track my employees' phones?

Only while they're clocked in. Tracking starts at clock-in and stops at clock-out, and the server refuses any location sent outside an open shift — it's enforced in the software, not promised in a handbook. Every employee sees a written notice before their first clock-in, and accepting it is recorded with a date.

Can I move my existing jobs in?

You can, but we'd tell you not to bother at first. The common failed rollout is a weekend spent typing in five years of history. Start with the work that's live this week — that's what people care about, and habits form on jobs that matter.

How does it handle both construction and service?

Every job has a type — Residential Service, Commercial Service, Property Manager, or General Contractor — and the type decides which tabs that job gets. A service call doesn't show you a submittal log. A school retrofit doesn't show you a maintenance agreement. Same customers, same crew, same timesheets underneath.

What if I need to cancel?

Cancel any time. Access stops; your data stays. If you want it removed permanently there's a Delete account button in Settings that does exactly that.

Put one real job in and see.

Fourteen days, every feature, your whole crew, no card. If it hasn't earned its place by then, walk away — nothing charges you.
