Where each one falls short

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

FieldEdge

  • There is no published rate card whatsoever, and reported figures cluster around 100 US dollars per office user and 125 per technician per month, so a ten-person shop is looking at well over a thousand dollars a month before add-ons.
  • Implementation is chargeable, commonly reported between 500 and 2,000 US dollars depending on the training plan, which is a real cost small contractors do not budget for.
  • Ownership by Xplor Technologies, a payments group, means the commercial incentive is to move you onto Xplor Pay processing, and the total cost of ownership therefore depends heavily on merchant rates that are negotiated rather than published.
  • Features that competitors bundle are sold as add-ons, with advanced reporting, inventory management and additional technician mobile licences each reported as separate monthly line items that stack on top of the seat price.
  • The office application carries its dESCO heritage and feels dated next to newer platforms, and it is US-centric: tax handling, payments and the pricebook content assume a North American business, so it is a poor fit outside the United States and Canada.

Jobber

  • Core and Connect include a single user, so a two person crew needs the $199 Grow plan or a $29 per month extra seat
  • The advertised entry price of $21 per month requires annual prepayment; paying monthly costs $49
  • Extra seats cost $29 per month on every plan, including the tiers that already bundle 5 or 15 users
