I already use Jobber. Is it worth switching to Workhand?

If your daily flow is dispatch-grid then route then invoice and you've trained your office team on that pattern, switching is friction you may not want. If you mostly send estimates, log site photos, chat with crew, and bill, you're using maybe 40% of what you're paying for. Workhand is built tight around that 40%.

Can I migrate from Jobber to Workhand?

Yes. Jobber lets you export customers, jobs, and invoices to CSV. We help with first-time migrations on Pro and Team plans. Email hello@workhand.app and we'll walk you through it.

What about Jobber's online-booking widget?

If your customers book service appointments through your website, Jobber's widget is genuinely useful. Workhand has public profile pages with a lead form at workhand.app/c/your-business, but it's a static lead capture, not a real-time slot picker tied to your calendar. If online booking is mission-critical, stay on Jobber.

Does Workhand do route optimization?

Not in v1. If you're stacking 8-12 stops a day across a city and need to minimize drive time, Jobber wins. Most pool route guys we talked to have their route memorized and don't use the auto-optimizer anyway, but it's a real gap if you do.

Why is Workhand cheaper than Jobber?

We don't charge per user. Jobber's pricing model assumes office-staff growth funds their MRR; ours assumes you'd rather hire another field tech. Both are valid, pick the one that matches how you grow.

The short answer
