Comparison

FieldCore vs the rest.

An honest, side-by-side look at how FieldCore compares to Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, and Workiz — including hidden costs, offline support, and the features small shops actually use.

The short version

If you're a 1–25 tech shop that wants true offline mode, QR asset tracking included, and flat per-team pricing — FieldCore is the cheapest option that doesn't make you wait for connectivity to log a job. ServiceTitan is overkill below 50 techs. Jobber and Housecall Pro nickel-and-dime you on add-ons (GPS, sales proposals, asset tracking) that we include by default.

5

Why contractors switch to FieldCore

The four reasons we hear most often from teams moving off Jobber, Housecall Pro, and FieldEdge.

Tired of add-on creep

Asset tracking, GPS, payment processing, sales proposals — competitors charge for each. FieldCore bundles them. The "$29 plan" you started on becomes $200+/mo by month 6 elsewhere.

Lost work in dead zones

Most "mobile" FSM apps fail in basements, on roofs, or in rural service areas. Our PWA works fully offline — capture signatures, create work orders, log materials. Sync when you're back in range.

QuickBooks sync that actually works

Jobber's QB sync drops line items (Reddit and G2 are full of complaints). FieldCore syncs invoices and customers cleanly via QuickBooks Online — included in Professional, no add-on.

Pricing that doesn't punish growth

Pure per-user pricing punishes you for hiring. Our team-based plans include 3, 5, or 10 technicians — extras are $15–$20/mo, not $29–$120. Hire your fifth tech without a $200/mo surprise.
