Best for home builders and remodelers
JobTread covers estimating, scheduling, daily logs, job finances and customer portals for builders and remodelers. It costs $199 a month with one user included, there's no free trial, and it isn't in the App Store or Google Play.
Who JobTread is for
- Fits if you run a building or remodelling company and want estimates, logs and payments together
- Works for crews that want customers and vendors to log into a portal
Who JobTread is not for
- Pricey if you work alone, as one user still costs $199 a month
- Not for you if you want to try it free first, since the page shows no trial
- Skip it if you want a store app: it is not in the App Store or Google Play
- Watch out: accountants and other non-employees can count as internal users at $20 each if they need access to your data
Why JobTread gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for money$199 a month with one user included is well above the category's dearer quarter at $99, and one person pays all of it. Users 2 to 10 are $20 each, so five people pay $279 a month.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no free trial on the page; monthly billing has a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is not a trial.
- BFeaturesEstimating and takeoff, scheduling, daily logs, job finances, customer and vendor portals, and invoices with online payments. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the building job.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. It is a web app where you build your own estimates, catalogue and templates before it works.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, installed to the home screen as a progressive web app, with QuickBooks Online, Zapier, Gusto, EagleView and supplier links. It is not in either app store.

Keep JobTread, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of JobTread you could make: quotes and estimates, invoicing, time tracking, job scheduling and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 35 of the 55 other field service apps grade higher. It costs $2,388 a year.
What you could make
- Quotes and estimates, invoicing, time tracking, job scheduling and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, QuickBooks Online, Zapier and Gusto among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. JobTread’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
