The short answer

- A crew that works from phones all day: Jobber and Housecall Pro both have iPhone and Android apps.
- A team of 2 to 15 that wants one price for the whole team, with the modules for its trade: Primemgr, from US$55 a month for 3 people to US$155 for 15.

- Housecall Pro: Essentials covers 5 users at $189; its page gives an extra-user price only for MAX, where 8 users are $329.
- Primemgr Team: US$80 a month.
Where each one is the better choice
- Jobber: iPhone and Android apps, online card payments and Tap to Pay, QuickBooks Online and Xero sync, route optimisation, automated follow-ups, two-way texting and a large app marketplace.
- Housecall Pro: a free app with a Spanish option, card payments and consumer financing, QuickBooks Online sync, GPS tracking, route optimisation, recurring service plans, an open API on MAX, and live phone and chat support.
- Primemgr: one price per team with the modules for each trade on every plan, quotes with options customers accept online, online booking and a customer portal, each business's data in its own database, and a full export at any time. It does not yet take card payments, sync with accounting software or have a phone app.
How to choose
- Price your real team size, not the headline. Per-user and user-capped plans change a lot between 3 and 15 people.
- Decide what you need on day one: payments, accounting sync and routing narrow the field today.
- Run a real job through the two that fit during their free trials.
