Jobber is a great product — but by the time you add the AI receptionist and two-way texting, the bill stacks up fast. Foreman bundles both for one low base plus a small payment %.
Foreman is a phone-first job app for solo trades and small crews: every text, email and website lead lands in one place, your customer approves the quote and books their own slot, and you get paid into your own bank account.

We’d rather you pick the right tool than churn. If you run a larger multi-crew operation that needs a mature dispatch board, route optimization, recurring-maintenance contract automation, or a deep marketplace of integrations today, Jobber is more established there — those are on our roadmap, not shipped yet. Jobber also has an offline mode and we don’t, so if your crew loses signal for hours at a stretch that’s a fair reason to pick them.
Foreman is the better fit if you’re a solo operator or a crew of 1 to 5 losing time to the phone and slow invoicing. Three things are worth switching for: your customer books their own slot out of your real calendar instead of you calling them back; your crew logs costs and snaps receipts on the job so what you spent lands on the job; and the AI assistant and the whole money loop are included at every price, without the add-on tax.
