SoloDesks vs Jobber, for a one-person trade

Jobber is a capable field-service platform built for growing teams — dispatching crews, an office manager on the schedule, jobs handed between people. If that's you, it's a strong tool. But if you're a one-van business quoting at the door and invoicing from the sofa, you're paying for a scheduling desk you don't have. SoloDesks does the part you actually need — quote, invoice, get paid, keep jobs on a calendar — for a flat $15 a month, with a free plan that never runs out of days.

Free plan, no card needed. $15/month for unlimited when you want it.

Questions people ask

Is SoloDesks cheaper than Jobber?

For one person, yes — by a wide margin. SoloDesks Pro is a flat $15 a month with a free plan underneath it. Jobber's entry Core plan runs $29–$49 a month for a single user (annual vs monthly billing), and every extra person is another $29. SoloDesks doesn't have per-user pricing because it's built for a one-person business.

Should I use Jobber or SoloDesks?

If you run a team — crews to dispatch, an office manager on the schedule, jobs handed between staff — Jobber is built for that and worth the money. If you're a sole trader quoting jobs and chasing your own invoices, most of Jobber is scheduling machinery you'll never switch on, and SoloDesks gives you the quoting, invoicing and payment-chasing for far less.

Does SoloDesks do everything Jobber does?

No, and that's the point. Jobber has crew dispatching, route optimisation for multiple vans, and team time-tracking that a one-person business doesn't use. SoloDesks does the money side — quotes, invoices, payment reminders, a simple job calendar — and leaves out the team overhead.
