The short version

  • Each has a real cost: AroFlo aroFlo, Simpro, BigChange and ClockShark now share one owner in Simpro Group, so a shortlist that compares them is comparing products with a single roadmap owner and no competitive pressure between them to keep prices down.; Joblogic the published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.
  • They diverge on capability: AroFlo covers Mobile job cards, Joblogic covers PPM contract scheduling.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

AroFlo

  • AroFlo, Simpro, BigChange and ClockShark now share one owner in Simpro Group, so a shortlist that compares them is comparing products with a single roadmap owner and no competitive pressure between them to keep prices down.
  • No pricing is published at all, so you cannot size a budget before entering a sales process, and there is no public reference point to check whether the quote you are given is normal.
  • The supplier catalogue feeds, compliance form library and accounting connectors are built for Australia and New Zealand, so contractors elsewhere pay for a product whose most differentiated features do not apply to their market.
  • The interface carries a long history and the configuration surface is large, so getting the workflow, custom fields and forms right typically needs paid setup and several weeks before the field team stops working around it.
  • Reporting is user-defined rather than dimensional, so multi-entity groups that want consolidated profitability across business units generally end up exporting to a spreadsheet or a separate BI tool.

Joblogic

  • The published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.
  • Users are counted as office staff, engineers and managers alike, so a business with many part-time or seasonal engineers pays full seats for people who log a handful of jobs a month.
  • The entry price is billed annually, so there is no low-commitment monthly option to trial the product properly at scale.
  • Compliance certificates, terminology and accounting integrations are written for the UK and Ireland, which makes the product a poor fit outside those markets despite being sold internationally.
  • The mobile app carries a lot of configurable form logic, and engineers on older devices report slow loading and sync on jobs with large certificate sets, which costs time on site.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

AroFlo: Is AroFlo still sold separately from Simpro?

Yes. Simpro Group has kept AroFlo, Simpro, BigChange and ClockShark as separate products with separate sales teams, though all four are under one owner.

Joblogic: Do I need the Premium plan?

If you run planned maintenance contracts, purchase orders or timesheets, yes. Standard handles reactive jobs, quotes and invoices only.

AroFlo: How much does AroFlo cost?

AroFlo does not publish prices. Expect a per-user monthly figure in AUD quoted after a discovery call, with setup and training charged on top.

Joblogic: Are subcontractors charged as users?

No. Joblogic counts office staff, engineers and managers as users; customers and subcontractors are not counted as seats.

AroFlo: Can I use AroFlo outside Australia?

You can, but the wholesaler price feeds, compliance templates and accounting integrations are aimed at Australia and New Zealand, which removes much of the reason to choose it.

Joblogic: Does it work offline?

Yes, the engineer app completes jobs, forms and signatures without signal and syncs later, which matters in plant rooms and basements.

AroFlo: Does it work offline?

Yes. The mobile app stores job data locally and syncs when a connection returns, which matters for plant rooms and rural sites.

Joblogic: Can it issue gas and electrical certificates?

Yes, statutory UK certificate templates are built in, and the top tier adds a form builder for your own documents.
