Who should pick which
Pick Jobber if…
You run a crew and need dispatching for several people, you need a QuickBooks sync today, or you need an established platform with a long list of integrations and are happy paying $99 a month or more for reminders and follow-ups. Check Jobber's site for its apps and integrations; PocketBoss has no iPhone app yet.
Pick PocketBoss if…
You are the whole business, or you and a helper or two, and you want scheduling, a booking page, quotes, invoices and card payments without paying per user — and you want reminders and follow-ups included at $14.99 rather than at $99. You also want your customers' card payments to land in your own Stripe account rather than pass through a platform.
