The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Chekin there is a three unit minimum on the published plans, so a single-property host cannot buy the entry tier at the advertised rate.; 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: Chekin covers Police and authority registration, 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.

Chekin

  • There is a three unit minimum on the published plans, so a single-property host cannot buy the entry tier at the advertised rate.
  • The compliance value is regional; outside Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece there is often no authority integration to use and the product becomes an ordinary check-in form at a per property price.
  • Transaction fees sit on almost every money-handling feature, including 1.5% plus EUR 0.99 on payments and 10% on unified inbox transactions, so the effective cost is far above the subscription for anyone using them.
  • It is a layer on top of a PMS rather than a replacement, so you are paying a second per property subscription alongside your existing platform and reconciling two sources of guest data.
  • Identity verification and self check-in sit behind the Premium tier and Premium only includes one premium feature, so an operator wanting both verification and digital keys must move to Enterprise.

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

Chekin: Why would I buy this rather than use my PMS check-in form?

Because it files guest data with national police registration systems and calculates local tourist tax, which PMS check-in forms do not do.

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.

Chekin: What does it really cost?

From EUR 3.95 per property per month with a three unit minimum, plus 1.5% plus EUR 0.30 on deposits, 1.5% plus EUR 0.99 on payments, 1% on upsells and 10% on unified inbox transactions.

Joblogic: Are subcontractors charged as users?

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

Chekin: Does it work outside southern Europe?

The check-in, verification and key features do. The automated authority filing that justifies the price largely does not.

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.

Chekin: Can I get both identity verification and digital keys on Premium?

No. Premium includes one premium feature. Both requires Enterprise at EUR 7.95 per property per month.

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.
